Dean Health said the surgery was minor and the patient wasn't affected, but the manager who summoned the nurse from surgery violated medical protocol. Dean Health spokesman Paul Pitas said the incident happened at Dean's West Clinic in Madison on Wednesday or Thursday. Pitas said there was a period of time in which a nurse wasn't present during the procedure. He said while there were other clinical staff present, the absence of a nurse is a violation of patient care procedures. The Madison-based health care provider announced Wednesday that it planned to "immediately" lay off 90 employees. Pitas declined to name the employees involved or what type of surgery the nurse was attending when she was called away. |

You can damn well bet there's more to this story which they're not allowed to discuss. She's probably having charges brought against her from the nursing board.. This is how they go about it, the next day ot week, she will be getting a letter from the WBoN. (Wis. Board of Nursing) But you can bet she knows why. |
