A 52-year old nurse was told to go back home after she reported at work without her false teeth.
She revealed to the Daily Voice that her bosses at N1 City hospital in SA told her she would not be allowed to return until she replaced her missing front teeth.
“The dentures were stolen from my bathroom while I was off last week”, she said.
“On Wednesday evening I forgot to close the window and they must have taken it at that time. I only realised my teeth were gone on Thursday afternoon when I wanted to go visit my sister-in-law”.
As she has worked for N1 for 20-years she went to work the next day not knowing that there would be trouble.
At work they asked me where my teeth were and one of my colleagues even said I must wear a surgical mask to cover it up”, I jokingly put on the mask but I didn’t want to make it obvious and have the patients think I have a disease.”
The jokes faded when her manager walked in and questioned her about her missing teeth
“The manager said I can’t work like this and I must go home to sort it out and come back once I have my teeth”.
“I don’t what is going to happen if the denture are not done in time because my next shift starts on Friday," said the nurse.
