Nurse called out of surgery and laid off

A Dean Health System nurse was called out of surgery so a manager could tell her that she was being laid off.

Dean Health said the surgery was minor and the patient wasn't affected, but the manager who summoned the nurse from surgery violated medical protocol.

Dean Health spokesman Paul Pitas said the incident happened at Dean's West Clinic in Madison on Wednesday or Thursday.

The Madison-based health care provider announced last week that it planned to immediately lay off 90 employees.

Pitas declined to name the employees involved or what type of surgery the nurse was attending when she was called away.

2. From personal experience, I will tell you

that a lot of hospital administrators are extremely unqualified and stupid people.

(I said a lot, not all)

5. The surgery was minor as the incision was only big enough for one hand?
