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

[Jake Stern]

19. Cousin is a nurse

Highly qualified - graduated 3rd in his class.

Is occasionally removed from care teams because the patient wants a female nurse. Most of the time the requesting patient is a female or people from more "traditional" cultures. The request is always granted.

Should he have sued based on gender discrimination?

Once a Muslim family demanded he stop working with their child after the father noticed his wedding ring which is engraved with Stars of David. The hospital granted the request.

Should he have sued for religious discrimination?

Patient care comes first, even when the patient is a bigot.
