Just fired

In current (outrageous) news –

So Vancouver Coastal Health wants nurses who don’t know that men are not women?

Doesn’t that sound like the very short route to medical malpractice? Doesn’t that sound like “First do all the harm you can”? Doesn’t that sound like the flat negation of any reasonable hiring/keeping criterion for medical professionals?

What next? Firing nurses and doctors who can’t can tell the difference between people and rabbits, cormorants, rattlesnakes, bowls of soup?

    Did you mean can instead of can’t? I personally hope my doctor can tell I’m not a bowl of cormorant soup!

    Whoops, why yes, I did mean can.

    By the way, I was thrilled to see you using ‘cormorant’. It’s become a kind of joke in my young adult book series, and such a happy coincidence here…

    I like cormorants. They’re abundant around here.
