A New York city nurse found herself under arrest after she was caught using a dying patient’s credit card to buy groceries and to fuel up her vehicle.
According to the Daily News, Danielle Conti, 43, used the pandemic as stole the card from 70-year-old widower Anthony Catapano while making her daily rounds at hard-hit Staten Island University Hospital North in early April. Catapano was in a hospital ventilator unit at the time of the theft.
Catapano died shortly after from complications related to COVID-19.
“I can’t believe a person could do something like that to someone fighting for his life,” Conti’s daughter, Tara Catapano said. “This is a nurse who took an oath to treat, protect and save patients. It’s disgusting … Never in a million years did I expect any of this to happen.”
She continued, “She is a despicable human being — How would she feel if somebody did this to her parents when they were gravely ill? I hope she gets what she deserves, and loses her license and her job.”
Conti allegedly swiped Catapano’s American Express and used it at a nearby gas station and ShopRite. Her purchases totaled $60.23.
