‼️After Dr. @Cleavon_MD Gilman was FIRED by Yuma Regional for speaking the truth about the #coronavirus pandemic, @CorriganWright—an ICU nurse at the hospital—RESIGNED over “mistreatment and negligence” from the hospital’s administration.

Wright was enraged by a "lack of action” stemming from the #coronavirus outbreak at the #Arizona State Prison Complex in Yuma where >1,400 inmates & >1,500 staff have tested positive.
Sick inmates were treated at the hospital—guards were forced stay close *without adequate PPE*.

Wright emailed hospital administrators about the risk to prison staff, but her manager “told me to shut my mouth.”🤬
THIS IS SO WRONG.
Our frontline healthcare workers are heroes, who are valiantly fighting to SAVE LIVES. We must listen to them!

Wright’s concerns reached the Yuma prison's warden, Edwin Jensen, who DIED a few months later after being admitted to Yuma Regional. The Yuma County Medical Examiner’s Office said it would not be determining the cause of death or making a report due to federal privacy rules.🧐
After @Cleavon_MD was FIRED for publicly revealing the dire shortage of ICU beds, Wright decided to RESIGN: “It was so disgusting what they did, but I wasn't surprised. They would do that to anyone."
Wright said 6 other ICU nurses also left.
OUR HEALTHCARE HEROES DESERVE BETTER
