Never underestimate the power of a mortgage to make smart people bend over backwards to not notice something.

Someone close to me, a very experienced nurse, reported some misconduct on the part of a senior physician. This was both required by law and an ethical duty.

She essentially got blackballed from that hospital as a result.

Just out of curiosity, did she report this to the hospital itself? If I were placed in that situation, it would make more sense to go to a more impartial authority, such as the state medical licensure board.
