Wisconsin Nurse Laid Off Mid-Surgery; Could it be any worse?
As if it isn’t enough that health care costs are draining patients’ wallets dry, last week, in a violation of hospital protocol, a Dean Health System manager at Dean West Clinic in Wisconsin called out a nurse in the middle of assisting in surgery—in order to lay her off.

1. Even a cynic is agog at this.
Mind boggling...

2. Looks like they laid off the wrong person. That's just wrong in so many ways.
I don't want that manager in charge of a hospital.

3. Tell the patient. Is there a lawsuit in this?

4. Probably could try.....
But I don't think you can collect unless there are any injuries.

Note: I am not a law expert.
