Is There Discrimination

I​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‍‍‍​n this discussion, you get to be the lawyer. Read the scenario below then pick a side. Decide whether you want to represent the employee alleging discrimination or the hospital defending the claim. Case 2: A management position has opened up due to a recent retirement in the medical staff office at the local hospital where you work. You and your pregnant coworker Melissa are talking about it at lunch one day. Melissa is very excited because she has been told several times by different senior managers that the next management position available would be hers. The next day, however, it is announced that a male coworker with less experience, education, and time on the job was offered the position. Melissa feels very strongly that it is because she is pregnant and going on maternity leave in two months. Melissa has an impeccable performance record throughou​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‍‍‍​t her employment at the hospital, and other than two weeks of doctor-ordered bed rest for gestational diabetes, she has not missed a day of work during her pregnancy. She has consulted an attorney to see what her rights are and whether there is any action that can be taken against the hospital. Next, write a one-page letter to the other side arguing why your client is right. Set out the facts, the specific law or laws supporting your client’s position, and what your client wants to resolve the situation (for example, a request for a formal investigation, the offer of a promotion, or dropping the claim). You can reference Medical Law and Ethics Textbook Ch. 4 Today’s Healthcare Environment, Ch 7 Public Duties of the Healthcare Professional, and Ch 8 Workplace Law and Ethics. Your letter should use at least one scholarly or professional source other than the textbook as well. Thanks​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‍‍‍​.
