Former GW Hospital resident with cancer sues GW for discrimination

A former GW Hospital resident is suing the University for discriminating and retaliating against her and eventually firing her because she has cancer.

Stephanie Waggel, a psychiatric doctor who was in GW’s residency program, is suing the University for allegedly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, the local and federal Family and Medical Leave Acts and the D.C. Human Rights Act.

The complaint does not list a total amount of monetary damages, but demands that GW “cease its illegal personnel practices,” reinstate her into the third year of her program, pay at least $300,000 in compensatory damages and cover the costs from the suit, according to the complaint.

Waggel has kidney cancer and underwent treatment last spring while she was working at the hospital.

Any reason why this is getting posted again? This was discussed in a couple of threads around the same time that the article came out a few months ago and there don't seem to be any new developments.
