An emergency room physician who publicly decried what he called a lack of protective measures against the novel coronavirus at his workplace, PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center, has been fired. Ming Lin, who has worked at the hospital for 17 years and became a local cause célèbre for his pleas for more safety equipment and more urgent measures to protect staff, was informed of his termination as he was preparing for a shift at the hospital Friday afternoon, he said. “I got a message that said, ‘Your shift has been covered,’” Lin told The Seattle Times. He phoned his supervisor and was told, “You’ve been terminated.” Lin said he was told he would be contacted by human resources staff from his employer, TeamHealth, a national firm that contracts with PeaceHealth’s emergency department. TeamHealth could not immediately be reached for comment. A spokesperson for PeaceHealth St. Joseph confirmed that Lin had been fired but said the hospital had no comment because Lin wasn’t a PeaceHealth employee. Lin said supervisors threatened his employment more than a week ago after he spoke to reporters and made social media posts accusing PeaceHealth of a lack of urgency to protect health care workers from the virus.

什么辟谣？不了解美国医院的雇佣程序啊？在美国，医院不是医生的直接雇主，医生自己加入一个类似于中介公司一样的机构，这个机构是医生的直接雇主，然后这个公司作为医院和医生之间的bridge直至最终finalize合同。在这个case里，这个中介公司一样的机构是teamhealth，而这个医生已经在这家医院工作了17年了，并不是医院的“临时工”，但也不算是医院真正意义上的员工。
哪里辟谣？英文link？
又是这个在美国到处搜刮口罩的ID，脸皮真厚。
这个林医生等到疫情缓解下来后告医院肯定是一告一个准，他提出的每一点都有理有据，保护医护人员，减少病人交叉传染的危险，医院后来依照他的建议改进了很多措施，没想到居然把人家开除了。这个案子肯定会以医院主动settle结束。
活下来，告赢，让医院那些官僚付代价。
支持他告！
在美国战争就是军工资本发财，瘟疫就是医疗资本发财
Excuse me? 请对后半句展开说明一下。
你是啥皮呀
官僚付出什么代价？他们拿钱一点不少，有什么代价？
这个完全正确，非常少的医院有医生作为自己的一部分，医生大多在一个叫 provider group，和医院或许就是租用医院设备和房子的关系。医院好比一个商业出租房，医生是租客，那些设备或许是医院的，也或许是另一个机构的。
编造故事请有点知识的来！
何苦呢，中共除了吸血你们，为你们做了什么？给你了个免费埋骨灰盒的地方？？
美国给你们最多的工作机会，让你们从买点肉都是按几两一年的日子到现在，你们恨死美国，害惨美国，还想着美国人全死掉；
北朝鲜通过中共天天要走你们的吃穿用的资源，你们有难第一时间关门你们在外，你们和他们是朋友。。。。。 就你们造下的这些罪孽，美国也不会死在你们手里！谁死的快还不明白吗？
虽然我很同情这位华人，不过他的确是contractor, 不是 employee。 所以他的直接雇主是headhunter, 不是医院。他不满意可以随时离开，甚至不需要通知医院，医院谈不上开除这件事。我认为这篇报道有误人之处，楼主是不是故意歪曲事实的重要细节？
请具体解释一下我是怎样故意歪曲事实的？转述全文来自大报Seattle Times，至于医生与医院的关系，有位网友已经解释的很清楚了。
