I mentioned the lawyers just this morning - and here they come. But in this case I cannot blame the nurse, and here is why:
People are human and NO ONE meant to make it worse. When you notice a problem, fix the problem.
What would a lowly nurse have to do to convince big bosses from the CDC that they are wrong? Those bosses issued a defective PPE to her and then insisted that it's perfectly safe. When it was proven that it wasn't safe, those same bosses chose to blame the workers.
Some people just aren't reasonable. They have to be forced to act reasonably - and we have courts to do just that. It may well be that this nurse had no other way to make changes in the procedure. If nothing is done, it only means that the CDC is going to kill medical workers - and none of the CDC managers will be indicted for murder.
“It will be much harder to fight the disease while fighting lawsuits and obsessing over every failed step.”
The Lawsuit Dance has only just begun.
The Litigation Lottery is now in full effect, and the courts will be dealing with it for DECADES.
You are correct. Administrators have historically played fast and loose with the welfare of first line healthcare workers. In the event of mishap, they call “operator error.” In instances of egregious irresponsibility, they claim, “I wasn’t aware that there was a problem.”
