A nurse at one of Adelaide’s major hospitals illegally filmed a sick, elderly woman in her ward, eavesdropped on patients and distributed “degrading” images online, prosecutors allege. In a case that has left senior health officials “appalled”, Flinders Medical Centre enrolled nurse Diosa Navarro Rankine, 50, is charged over the “humiliating” video of a female patient in 2014. Rankine, a Filipino-born mother who is suspended on pay, is also accused of sharing the mobile phone videos on social media. The nurse, of Panorama, in Adelaide’s south, is further charged with “intentionally” using a listening device to record private conversations over a three-month period in 2014 and 2015. The video, since deleted, shows the distressed patient screaming for the nurse to stop filming her in a hospital bed. At one point, the patient, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, labels the nurse a “bastard”. “Go on get out. Just leave me alone,” the patient screams. “Get out you bastard.” In faltering English, the woman filming — who prosecutors say is Rankine — replies: “I’m not a bastard. I am a good girl.”
