COURTHOUSE,
April 10 – Kristin Carmody was
fired by NYU Langone, and sued
for retaliation citing her
advocacy around Black Lives
Matter and to protect medical
staff from the risks of
COVID.
On April 10
in the trial before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Valerie
Figueredo, NYU Langone's
Robert Femia said he had
initially wanted to suspend
her, for writing that she had
checked a "VIP" patient when
she hadn't.
But then everyone
he consulted, he said, called
it a firable offense.
The jury
and those in the courtroom
gallery were shown Femia's
text with Robert Grossman, due
on the stand Friday, referring
to "Yin's wife." If the
complaining patient had not
been a VIP, the spouse of an
NYU Langone big wig, would it
have been a firing offense?
The trial
continues.
