As a man awaited heart transplant surgery at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, a nurse came into his room and "initiated unsolicited sexual relations, including intercourse" with him, according to a lawsuit against the hospital and the nurse.

The husband and wife filed the suit Monday in Cook County, claiming the sexual episode took place on Oct. 12, 2012, while the man was a patient in the cardiac care unit. They are seeking $150,000 in damages.
