New York Nurse Aide Indicted For Raping Nursing Home Resident
Attorney General Eliot Spitzer announced that an Oneida County Grand Jury has indicted a nurse aide, who was formerly employed at the Rome Memorial Hospital Residential Health Care Facility, for forcibly raping a 90-year-old female resident of the nursing home who suffers from dementia.
William Morrison, 45, of Utica, was charged with Rape in the First Degree, Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, Endangering the Welfare of a Vulnerable Elderly Person in the Second Degree, and Wilful Violation of Health Laws. The maximum penalty that Morrison could receive for these charges is 25 years.
Morrison was arrested on June 13, 2006. He was arraigned before the Honorable Michael Dwyer in Oneida County Court and is being held in the Oneida County Jail on $50,000 cash or bond.
Assistant Attorney General Ralph D. Tortora, III, Director of the Syracuse Regional Office of Attorney General Spitzer’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, is prosecuting the case. The charges against Morrison are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

| Why cancer misdiagnosis occurs and the effects on patients? |
Upwards of 12 percent of U.S. cancer patients are initially misdiagnosed,
a new study suggests, leading to repeat testing, treatment delays, increased
health-care costs and patient anxiety.
Improper tissue and blood sampling, sometimes coupled with inaccurate
reading of hospital lab results, are the twin culprits for cancer diagnosis
error.
