I agree that it was a very strongly-expressed opinion, and as I said, I don't know how I feel about employers dictating what people can say. Apart from the free speech issues, it stops whistleblowers and means that those who don't work have more freedom than those who do.
My point wasn't about that, but about the way the situation has been represented on here - that she said she wouldn't resuscitate and then that her employers had been embarrassed.
If she'd said that she worked for Private Medicine Inc, and that she wouldn't resuscitate Tory patients it would be one thing, as obviously they would choose to go elsewhere for their private medicine, but that is not what happened.
I wonder if she'll appeal or sue for wrongful dismissal? Her employers would risk embarrassment then, as they'd almost certainly be named.
