The Drs and nurses don’t make policy. It’s the Hospital CEOs, and hospital boards who make policy and handle the money/profits - they were giving the orders to the doctors/nurses/etc., that if they don’t follow hospital COVID policy they will lose privileges and their licences. I’m not excusing those who went along with it to save their careers, but I am saying we can’t be looking to CEOs, hospital boards or their attorneys to remedy any of this. They’re the ones who took the bribes.
Makes sense...except the reality is that the patients died at the nurses' hands. If the punishment is severe, then next time, the nurses will refuse. Non-compliance would have solved everything. After losing their jobs, they could have gotten their money back in lawsuits. Because the big hospitals would have gone under, small, doctor-owned hospitals would have emerged, run on behalf of the patient, like they used to be.
I agree, but FEAR (of anything) is a huge motivator. I think that’s why God tells us repeatedly, “DO NOT FEAR”. It’s not just Him trying to reassure us - it’s a warning. Fear can make people do things they would otherwise never consider doing; things that will change them forever. Some of the stories I’ve seen of what’s gone on in hospitals over the past two years - the way patients and families have been treated - I agree, there needs to be accountability, and I believe God will exact a judgment. “I was afraid [fill in the blank]” will not be an excuse for what was done.

Exactly, but that does not excuse doctors and nurses who carried out orders, knowing it would kill their patients. “Following orders” does not cut it.

True. Trusting God honors him and gives us peace and clarity of mind, for sure.
