The incident in Jakarta came to light when the patient boasted on his Twitter account on the Twitter account on Friday.
He uploaded a screenshot of WhatsApp messages between the horny couple – with information about lubricants and the size of their genitals, reports the news agency.
The patient also posted a picture of the nurse’s PPE lying on the floor while the couple applied it.
