It may be the way the article is written, but it sounds like the nurse locked the student in her office when he had his asthma attack and just watched him through the window in the door. That almost sounds like depraved indifference or an attempt to murder him.
That's what the article says, and also in the video:
"As soon as we opened up the door, we saw my son collapsing against the wall on the floor of the nurse's office while she was standing in the window of the locked door looking down at my son, who was in full-blown asthma attack," Rudi said.It does sound like depraved indifference. It's a bureaucratic response: she CANNOT be fired for following policy to the letter, even if he died. She COULD be fired if she deviated from policy. Therefore, holding that her job was of supreme importance, she followed policy. I've seen that mindset in many places.Michael Rudi said when he started to pass out from his attack, the nurse locked the door.
I would fire her, the school administrator, AND the guy who wrote the policy.
