SAY WHAT? 'DOCTOR POKES OUT EYE OF KEYHOLE NURSE'

On Jan. 18, 1966, the National Mirror tabloid published a story claiming a prominent surgeon poked out the eyeball of a nurse peeping in a keyhole while he was examining a woman.

"It is not the first time I caught Betty peeking," the surgeon was quoted as saying.

The sewage-crawling tabloid claimed the nurse's mother "admitted to the MIRROR that her daughter had always been an inquisitive child and had been told that someday it would get her into trouble."

Said to be speaking from her hospital bed, the blinded nurse explained her peeking by insisting she feared the female patient was about to blackmail the surgeon.

Oh Betty!

Tattler USA cannot attest to the accuracy of the report.  The National Mirror ceased publication decades ago. Tattler USA maintains a file of vintage tabloids.
