Is the only reason you think she didn’t do the right thing because she filed it anonymously?

Yes, and I am interested in Jyro’s opinion on this as well.

I think she was right to report it, but by not signing it she did not really report it. As far as the boss was concerned, some anonymous person reported. What are the authorities supposed to make of that.

A busy manager might just feel that he has not the time to get involved in petty disputes and rely on his/her professionals (the nurses) to report to him in the proper manner if they believe that there is something seriously wrong with a doctor. I think I would trust them to do that.

I don’t thing she should be charged with any crime, but some counselling would be appropriate.

There is also the natural justice requirement that the doctor is entitled to know his accuser and the full nature of the accusation.
