2scents -“Company Policy might prohibit (remember prohibit..) from doing CPR, however being that she is a nurse and trained in resuscitation, this makes her un-human.”
I can’t agree with your assessment of “un-human”, unless this applies to almost e/o in the US. She was prevented from helping this sick person due to the company’s policy. And these policies were created due to the Gov’s laws. You can find fault with the laws, but not with s/o who feels they must listen to these laws!
I’ll give you an example. I’ll put it in your supposed line of work. You frequently are called to a house with a sick Frum elderly person. The chilren are Not Frum, but have gotten this person a DNR. You asked a Poisek, a Boki in DNR’s, and said no way is this elderly allowed to have one. You are now called by the maid for an arrest, but upon arrival you’re presented with a DNR, would you now go ahead and resuscitate? And even if you would, would you call s/o else who is afraid to be sued and their squad sued, amongst other punishments, and therefore refuses to resuscitate “un-human”?
