Nurse suspended for not using “correct pronouns for inmate”
A member of the British Parliament is taking a stand for a nurse. The nurse was suspended for not using the correct “pronouns” of a patient. That patient was a convicted pedophile. The nurse, Jennifer Melle, was labeled a potential risk for refusing to identify a male prisoner convicted for victimizing children as a woman. The inmate claims that he identifies as a woman, despite having all medical records identify him as a male and being imprisoned in a male prison ward. The man according to Melle, had a female name listed on his bed and became irate when she referred to him as Mister. The prisoner then called the nurse, who is black a racial slur and tried to attack her. Ms. Melle was later suspended with pay for what officials claimed was a potential data breach. The nurse says she refused to refer to the inmate as a female because of her Christian faith. When Melle tried to appeal the case to the Royal College of Nursing, officials refused to hear the case and advised her to “do a reflection” to ensure a similar incident wouldn’t happen again. Claire Coutinho, a member of Parliament says that she will address the case to officials associated with the hospital and presiding board. Coutinho scolded officials saying Melle has a stellar record, /and that common sense must prevail.
