An allegation is an allegation. Every complaint has to be
investigated. Saying you "could be" is not a very definate statement. Usually things that involve money have a dollar amount as to the severity of the issue. You appeared to have redeemed yourself when you paid the money back. Like at this point you dont owe anyone anything. I assume the pt. had your name on the check. Not like you stole it. In some cases a thing like this might be viewed as a violation of a company policy to be accepting any type of gratuity from a pt. or a family member. I dont think it is against the law unless the person was not of sound mind or able to make their own decision. I have a feeling it will be all cleared up. Pls. let me know.
