Workplace discrimination rarely comes with a “smoking gun.” Few employers or supervisors are brazen enough to openly identify a discriminatory reason for termination, demotion, or refusal to hire.

Healthcare workers are often the first to witness safety violations, fraudulent billing practices, regulatory misconduct, and other forms of wrongdoing in the industry.
