Medical News: Cardiologist Who Revealed Echo Errors Out of a Job – in Cardiovascular, Atherosclerosis from MedPage Today

In an e-mail, an Aurora spokesman said Sagar’s firing was not related to her presentation.

“Dr. Sagar’s contract was terminated for a number of reasons, none related to her study. This was in no way a retaliatory action. As a matter of fact, the study supported our quality improvement initiatives and has resulted in heightened standards in the echo lab.”

If an employee termination is not a retaliatory action then why does an official spokesperson even mention the thought and go on to elaborate further?  Sadly, stories like this no longer surprise me.
