A nurse has been sacked from a hospital after she was seen taking money from a patient's wallet - by a relative who was watching on the other side of the world on Skype. New dad Nick and his wife, Chrysa, were on a Skype call to family in Greece when they stepped away briefly to check on their baby in the nursery at Melbourne's Epworth hospital. Their family waited on the line, watching the live feed of the new parents' empty hospital room. Scroll down for video Chrysa's husband Nick had money stolen from his wallet in her hospital room just after the birth of their baby
