Black nurse sues Michigan hospital for honoring patient's racist request

I will have to respectfully disagree with you.

She will lose.

This sort of thing and much worse happens to nurses all the time. Sick and injured people (as well as their families) are frequently irrational and unreasonable. Nurses bear the brunt of that and are injured emotionally, psychologically, and frequently physically while doing their jobs far more often than the general public is aware.

When a patient, for whatever reason, makes it clear they don't want a person caring for them, it's in everyone's best interest to not have them cared for by that person. Period.

Injustice, prejudice, antisemitism, misogyny, reminds them of their evil uncle, whatever.....you do not set up a healing situation by forcing a patient to accept care from someone they don't want to receive care from.

This has been standard practice forever, the nurse is beating a dead horse and it is unlikely in the extreme that she will prevail in this matter.
