What a great idea, fire all the Nurses ...

[dogtag]

Just because they looked at Smollet's records.
Why don't you fire all the Doctors as well while you're at it ?
Maybe the Janitor can do the heart surgery and the
cleaning woman the anesthesia.
The "Boss" who did this is obviously shy on brainpower..

If they did look at his records needlessly, they violated HIPAA, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and that's Federal Law.

He went there for care. Don't the Nurses have to check to see if he's allergic to bed pans ?
If I were to need hospital care, I'd prefer a Nurse did it rather than a bureaucrat.

That's the question -- did they look through his records in order to give him care, or merely for curiosity?

I would imagine Nurses are a little too busy tending their patients
to waste time trolling through some nobody's medical records

If that's true, they'll sue and win. If not, they won't.

And where are their replacements to come from ?

These aren't the last nurses in the world. Doctors and nurses retire, get fired, and so on quite frequently. And hospitals manage to find replacements.

Now it's sixty that have been fired. That'll teach 'em.
Hey, why aren't the patients being fed and the bed pans emptied ?

We don't know that the patients aren't being cared for.

Oh right, I forgot about the Janitor and Cleaning Lady pinch hitting.

Any evidence for that?

I don't believe you asked that.
Look up the word Satire - assuming you have a dictionary.

I can't believe you said what you said -- look up the word Delusion, if you have a dictionary.

The thread opening talked about the Janitor doing heart operations
and the cleaning lady administering the anesthesia
Did you take that seriously ???
Yes, you did obviously, why else would you have asked for "evidence"
