So it's okay for the gov and the president to decide who should live but it's not okay for medical professionals to decide who can live:

Quote:

A top medical executive at a Buffalo hospital was fired this weekend after demanding that supporters of President Donald Trump renounce ventilators if they become critically ill with coronavirus.

In a Facebook exchange, Laura Krolczyk, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center's now former vice president for external affairs, wrote, "Trump supporters need to pledge to give up their ventilators for someone else ... and not go to the hospital."

Krolczyk also said Trump supporters should "barricade themselves" inside churches to ride out the coronavirus.

"Also don't cash your stimulus check. It's all a hoax. Chew some ibuprofen and be on with your day," Krolczyk wrote of Trump supporters.

Krolczyk was initially placed on administrative leave, but was later terminated over the comments, according to the Buffalo News.

Roswell Park released the following statement announcing Krolczyk's termination, WGRZ-TV reported:

This employee was terminated today [Saturday] after our Human Resources team concluded its investigation. We followed standard procedure, which required that we gather and verify relevant information before taking any disciplinary action.

Dr. Johnson and her team responded with swift and appropriate action. We have always been and continue to be a center serving everyone who needs us. That is core to our mission, our culture and the experience our patients and families can expect every day.

This behavior is not tolerated at Roswell Park. If any team members act in a way that does not accord with that commitment, we will take swift and appropriate action, just as we did in this instance.
Krolczyk earned $226,580 in compensation in 2019, the Buffalo News reported.

Krolczyk previously worked for Hillary Clinton and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).

I think the charge of "Speaking While Democrat" also had a lot to do with it.

Let me guess? Politics in the work force and they do not allow politics.

Do you feel what Kwolcyck said was justified ?

How can this person have come up with such a thought?

Life and death is way beyond politics. Trump supporters deserve to live just as much as Trump detractors.

To recklessly surrender such a nice job.

Did you forget that Trump and the gov of Texas both said that we should let the elderly die?

Let's hope none of them think the elderly and the disabled should die off. That is already being said by politicians. It goes both ways.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about, after all the risk of COVID19 is overblown, less of a threat than the seasonal flu or car accidents so why would it bother you if you get sick and don't have access to a ventilator? You can just pretend the threat doesn't exist, what you don't know can't hurt you right?

He is an Trump apologist, Trump can do no wrong. It doesn't matter what Trump says, even video clips of Trump speaking in his own words he will be able deny the words were ever spoken.

I don't really see the hypocrisy, what she said was terribly inappropriate and I can see why the medical facility does not want someone with that kind of attitude working for them.

Patients regardless of anything should be treated to the best of the medical professionals ability. Even if Trump himself came down bad with coronavirus he should get a ventilator provided there is one available. It's not the medical professionals job to judge the patient.

Exactly.

The original poster simply does not understand the issue.
