GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- An emergency room doctor has sued Spectrum Health Hospitals, saying it wrongfully eliminated her job over her Facebook post about a photo of the backside of a woman.
The Grand Rapids Press (http://bit.ly/1kyQXjf ) says Dr. Catherine Puetz filed the suit in federal court Friday, saying the hospital company incorrectly found her to have violated federal patient record policy rules. Puetz says she saw a picture Aug. 5, 2013, posted by a nurse.
Puetz says she thought she recognized the woman as someone she had seen both in public and at the Grand Rapids hospital. The doctor says she posted a comment on the photo saying: "OMG. Is that TB?"
Spectrum Health investigated and disciplined several employees. It declines comment on Puetz's lawsuit.
Puetz worked as a contractor for the hospital.
