Heading: Infectious Waste Room

Text: 4 By July 1994, Dr. Craven had become aware that [t]he refrigerated infectious waste room on the dock [was] being improperly used[,] resulting in an increased risk of blood borne pathogen exposure. Id. at 1017. In addition to reporting to the safety committee and consulting with appropriate hospital personnel to remedy the problem, id. at 274, Dr. Craven and her staff took a number of photographs to be used in a presentation to the hospital's management council at their monthly meeting in August. Id. at 275-76, 399. Her then-supervisor, Ruth Sens, advised against the presentation on the grounds that given the management council's inability to solve the problem, the presentation would have been a complete waste of time and cause nothing but stirring the group up. Id. at 549. Although plaintiff was allowed to compile a poster display, stand with it outside the meeting, and answer various managers' questions as they entered or left the meeting, id. at 277, 400, she was ultimately dissatisfied with the arrangement: I wanted to present [the problem] to everyone, not just people that had the time to stop and talk. Id. at 278.
