TREATMENT OF NURSES HARSH, BUT TREATMENT OF BABY ISN'T I GUESS

Baby left in closet at Saskatoon hospital - Saskatchewan - CBC News

What a bizarre country we live in.

Two nurses put a crying baby in a closet and are fired.

The nurses appeal the decision and win as arbitrators and the Court of Queens Bench say firing the nurses is too harsh.

I wonder if the arbitrator felt putting the crying baby in a closet was especially harsh?

I chuckle when I see the CBC has closed this story to commenting. The reason being is that 99% of us likely feel a firing is exactly what should have happened and the Saskatoon Health Region made the correct decision.

Suspensions are for things like 'late for work'.

Nurses Elise Reban and Erica McCullock are due back to work at Royal University Hospital very soon. They'll be in the pediatrics ward. Hopefully you or a loved one isn't planning on having a baby at this hospital.

Once again, tax dollars for healthcare hard at work.
