    Angelina, doesn't a "right to work" state mean that a person is not required to be a member of a union? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law What you are talking about is "at will" employment, which describes most of America. If an employer hates your nose, s/he can fire you. But, the question then becomes whether that person was fired for reasons which are against the law, including a host of civil and employment rights, granted by statutes or otherwise. That's a matter of proof and the quality of the attorney you have.

    The proof which you describe which is generated by a subpoena would certainly help this employer, but I think if I were this physician I would certainly sue. A friend of mine was fired recently because she "used inappropriate language." She works in a retail setting and the words she used were "damn it to hell." I know as her friend that she rarely uses foul language and she told me she was really upset. Her co-workers on a regular basis use language like mf, wtf, etc. on a regular basis. She went to an attorney who contacted her employer and that was enough for her to receive a settlement. She's 26 and I don't think some of those older dudes ever thought a young chick would ram it to them. And, thankfully, she has a new job in a better environment.

      Do not write down ANYTHING that you couldn't live with EVERYONE knowing.
      My soon to be ex wife is finding that out the hard way!
      Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out alive.
