ER Doctor Who Blasted Lack of Worker & Patient Protections at WA Hospital Removed from Post
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington state, the American Academy of Emergency Medicine
condemned the removal of a Bellingham ER doctor who publicly called out
his hospital's lack of protection for workers. Earlier this month, Dr.
Ming Lin posted on Facebook that Peace Health St. Joseph Medical Center
was not following appropriate testing protocols and was exposing
healthcare workers and patients to unnecessary risks.
