Table 4.

Casus (continued).

C101: Esther, you’ve made a number of statements. We’ll now write them down one by one. You said at the end of the discussion: “I want to be a big girl and say something about it.” Can you elaborate on that?
E101: I think that I shouldn’t be afraid. I don’t want to be so afraid for my own job that I no longer protect the most vulnerable. Then I’d only be acting out of self-interest.
C102: You don’t want to act out of self-interest, but instead stand up for the interests of others.
E102: Exactly. If everyone only thought of themselves, that would be at the expense of the most vulnerable. I don’t want to be like that.
C103: So, I’ll write down: “I want to stand up for the interests of the most vulnerable.” And also: “I don’t want to act out of self-interest.”
E103: Not purely out of self-interest, no.
C150: And this statement from the beginning: “That’s no way to treat people.”
E150 What management is doing isn’t just. You have to treat people with respect, you can’t just unceremoniously discard them.
C151 Discard
E151 If someone’s given her all for your hospital for 40 years, I think you should thank them for all that they’ve done and let them work in peace until they retire. It’s a question of respect and appreciation.
C152 I’m writing down: “I believe you should treat people with respect and appreciation.”
