"Puetz says she saw a picture Aug. 5, 2013, posted by an emergency department nurse that showed the backside of a woman. Believing she recognized the woman as someone she had seen in public and in the emergency department, Puetz posted a comment on the photo: “OMG. Is that TB?”According to the lawsuit, the Facebook post and comments were investigated by Spectrum, and some employees were fired and some were not.
Puetz said a nurse who posted “I like big butts and I cannot lie …” – an apparent nod to the popular Sir Mix-A-Lot song - was only reprimanded, not fired.
Puetz worked as an employee of Emergency Care Specialists, an independent contractor that provides emergency department staff to Spectrum Health.
After the Facebook comment was made, she says she submitted an apology to the nursing director. She also says she was assured by the chief medical officer that her job was not in jeopardy."
