thank you to everyone who gave their input. Here are some more details My co-worker was administering conscious sedation to a patient receiving an epidural steriod injection in our pain clinic. This co-worker let the doc know the bp was high (200/100). My co-worker did continue to give the conscious sedation per the doctor's orders. The versed that was given did bring the blood pressure down. Nothin at all happened to the patient. The patient did have a hx of HTN and some cardiac history(I'm not sure of the details of the cardiac hx). But the patient went home after the meds wore off like normal and my coworker was fired. She did have a few other disciplinary actions that were taken against her for small things (ie. starting a procedure without the h&p being completed). It just doesn't seem right that this situation is what got her fired.

My coworker was administering conscious sedation and informed the doctor that the patients blood pressure was 200/100. The doctor said ok and continued with the procedure. My fellow coworker was just terminated because she didn't stop the procedure. Is this legal?
