Atlanta sources have stated that 65 year old Indian American nurse has recently sued Denver Health Medical Center claiming she was fired for her support of President Donald Trump, reports Denver Post. Meanwhile Lizzy Mathews also brought the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Denver against Kelly Torres, nursing manager, and Marc Fedo, director of acute nursing.
Moreover Mathews seeks her job back along with back pay and punitive damages for emotional pain and suffering, according to the lawsuit filed by Denver attorneys Francis Culkin and Karen Larson. The lawsuit says that no other employee was disciplined for talking politics and political discussions were common among employees and patients.
Mathews, who has a nursing degree from the Hamidia Medical College Hospital
in Bhopal, India, worked at Denver Health for 27 years. She studied psychiatric
nursing at the Front Range Community College. Further according to Denver Post,
on Sept. 10, 2016, Mathews was tending a patient, a former high-ranking
hospital employee. The patient was watching election coverage and asked Mathews
who she thought would win. Mathews said Trump would win and she was “praying
for him.” To that the patient replied, “Oh no, she don’t want him to be.”
