I recently returned to work(off caring for my mother s/p a hip surgery). I work at the bedside in ICU/PCUs. I worked on the front lines when the Coof ramped up(3 years ago). Upon returning to work I was surprised to see that Remdesivir was still being ordered for Coof+ patients with the kidney/liver damage that it causes. I have never given the vax and won't; I won't give Remdesivir(I am unvaxxed and I refused Remdesivir in December 2021 when I was an inpatient with the Coof...or whatever it truly is...). If I can locate the studies/finding should I have copies of the Remdesivir trials? Will I be asked to leave/be fired for refusing to administer dangerous treatments? I am, also, sending this question to America's Frontline Doctors...not sure if I will get an answer....BTW, thank you to everyone on this site. It makes me feel "less crazy"!
Looking for legal advice regarding my job as a nurse. What are the consequences if I refuse to administer/give Remdesivir, the Vax, etc.? Do I have any legal recourse as an "advocate"?
LAWFAGS IN THE HOUSE?
I don't know the specific legal position you should take, but my instinct is to fight fire with fire.
Gather together any evidence you have that shows the lack of efficacy and/or safety of those things you might be told to do.
Then, if you are told to do them, write a letter to (a) the doctor(s) telling you to do this, and (b) the hospital administrators who are responsible for telling the doctor(s) to do this. In the letter, I would remind them that coercion is a felony under law.
Coercion is generally defined as:
Use the info you gathered to show them that THEY are in the wrong on these issues.
At least, you will put the scare into them that you might sue them, and if they fire you or take any negative action against you, you have a stronger basis to sue. After all, you put them on notice, in writing, and they did it anyway. Shows willfull violation of your rights, not a mere "fire for cause" case.
You could also state in your letter that coercion is a tort, under law, and that the hospital's legal liabilty protection and insurance does NOT cover tortuous acts, which are crimes (felony in this case). That might or might not hold up in court, but you can be damn sure they WILL be running it by the legal department and will most likely treat you with kid gloves from that point forward -- unless they are stupid, which is also possible, but which puts you into a much stronger legal position post-firing.
