Two nurses face jail time for reporting a doctor to the Texas Medical Board

was it a false report towards the doctor? thats all i can think of without any more information

Without knowing the circumstances, I can't really have an opinion. If they made a false report, accusing the doctor of something he/she didnt do and it had a detrimental effect on the doctors reputation/career then, they should have some penalty. However, if he had committed some misdemeanour - particularly if it endangered life they should be applauded.

hi braver1987 my opinion is if the doctor did something wrong and the nurses had enough guts to report him, he should have been tht one going to jail, not the two nurses who blew the' whistle on him. shame on whoever put them in jail that is so wrong.

I wonder what it is the doctor is suppose to have done. I also wonder whether or not the nurses told the truth, or, if they did tell the truth, who the doctor knows.

What did they report him for? How come they are going to jail instead of him?
