It is not an "indignity"to face reality. No one sick enough to be on life flight would hire a medical staff with compromising problems or potential problems. It is also possible that Ms. Sorensen did not see her abilities the same way her employer did.

Sometimes, after a diagnosis, the individual must regroup and try another way. I certainly do not fault the U for refusing to allow Ms. Sorensen a job on the Life Flight helicopters, I applaud them. Better safe than sorry when it comes to human life.

I feel for Sorenson, but what happened to her is not "bullying" by any stretch of that word. Discrimination, sure. But bullying?

I do not think that word means what you think it means . . . .

That is not "bullying", every branch of the military would have grounded her too. Life isn't always fair. It is as simple as that.

This entire article is suspect if a medical grounding is considered "bullying".
