I am a physician and I absolutely believe this action by the SRNA is wrong in so many ways... I hope Ms. Strom sues the SRNA.

So...a layperson can make the same complaints without consequence from the SRNA. And I also presume a nurse can make the same complaint without consequence if the nurse was NOT a member of the SRNA (let's say Ms. Strom was a nurse in BC). So Ms. Strom is being penalized for speaking up for her grandfather JUST because she a member of the SRNA?!?! And the SRNA supposedly even wanted to charge her with breach of confidentiality? This is simply preposterous beyond belief! How can one breach confidentiality when one is complaining about care received by your own family member?

We should all encourage people to speak up when they see substandard work being performed. That is how things improve. Look at the example with the police and the "code of silence". This is how problems are perpetuated and the "bad apples" are allowed to create rot in the whole bunch...
