Remove Dr. Laura Forese from her position as VP/COO of NewYork-Presbyterian

In a video made public on CBS This Morning (source video) on April 10th, 2020, Dr. Laura Forese, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of NewYork-Presbyterian, threatens hospital staff, who are no doubt concerned for their personal health and safety during the coronavirus pandemic, with professional retaliation for expressing that they feel disrespected by the hospital.

From the video:
"Please, for you and your families, stop sending emails, cards, and letters saying that we are disrespecting you. If you feel that way, we can understand that. You're entitled to your opinion. It raises for us whether you, in fact, want to keep working for NewYork-Presbyterian. I'm not gonna continue to harp on that, but I ask you, really, you have to make your own judgments."

When interviewed by CBS's David Begnaud regarding her comments in the video (full interview), she was evasive in her responses to direct questions and remained unregretful and unapologetic.

Although Dr. Forese claims that her comments were directed at "back office staff", no employee should be threatened with professional retaliation for expressing that they feel disrespected by their employer.

This is conduct unbecoming of a person in a position of leadership and of a person charged with maintaining a safe working environment for hospital staff, especially considering the dangerous nature of the coronavirus pandemic and its effect on hospital staff. Thusly, Dr. Laura Forese is unfit to serve as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of NewYork-Presbyterian and should resign from or be removed from her position, effective immediately.
