美国护士自购N95口罩上班,提醒同事照做被开除:医院不让戴

近日,美国芝加哥市一名护士把医院告上法庭。该护士称,自新冠疫情以来,医院仅指定护士佩戴院方发的外科口罩,她购买了N95口罩上班时用,并提醒数十名同事医院发的口罩“不够安全”,结果遭医院报复性解雇。

综合《芝加哥太阳报》及美国全国广播公司等媒体消息,劳里(Lauri Mazurkiewicz)是芝加哥市西北大学纪念医院的一名护士。自3月起,她所在的医院开始接收新冠肺炎确诊患者,劳里称这使自己及同事暴露于感染风险下。

劳里表示,自己非常关心病毒在空气中的传播以及口罩的防护等级,因此买了一盒N95口罩在上班时用,而非仅佩戴医院发放的外科口罩。

3月18日,劳里向约50名同事发电子邮件建议他们也戴上N95口罩,因为医院发的口罩“防护效果较差”。次日,劳里便接到人事部门电话称她被开除了。

劳里向记者表示,她怀疑自己是因提醒同事而被报复性解雇,从院方角度看,这一提醒可能会引发医护人员抗议甚至罢工。“可能导致护士向医院索要N95口罩,随后引发抗议,然后医院里就没护士了。”

劳里称,医院禁止他们戴N95口罩,在医院发的外科口罩下面戴一个N95口罩也不被允许。“可能是因为医院没有足够多的N95口罩发给所有人。”劳里认为,“医院本应准备得更好,应能保护前线人员。”

据悉,劳里在观察室工作,她所接触的一部分病人最终被确诊入院。

周一(23日),劳里将医院告上法庭,并向院方索赔至少5万美元(约合人民币35.4万元)。

对此,院方发言人表示,“目前医院正在应对前所未有的疫情‘大流行’,最优先考虑的是患者和员工的健康和福祉。院方正调查此事,暂不发表评论。”

截至北京时间25日12点,据美国约翰斯·霍普金斯大学发布的实时数据,芝加哥所在伊利诺伊州共有1537例新冠肺炎确诊病例。此前,该州已宣布“居家隔离令”,要求居民不要出门以防疫情扩散。
