Whistleblower Nurse Sues Over Firing

Peg O'Connor seems like just the kind of seasoned, do-it-right nurse you hope will be caring for you when you're stuck in the hospital. But O'Connor says that after she did the right thing at Jordan Hospital in Plymouth — reporting the hospital to federal authorities for failing to handle a pregnant patient properly — she was fired, after more than 38 years of service. She's now suing the hospital, and talks about her case in this Boston Globe video (with annoying ads first.)

This program aired on August 18, 2010. The audio for this program is not available.
