RNs, Family Protest Denial of Critical Surgery for Orange County ICU Nurse

Published in Lab Business Week, March 30th, 2008

Registered nurses, family, and concerned community members will protest Blue Cross of California in support of 46-year-old Kim Kutcher, RN, as she battles Blue Cross and its decision to sentence her to a possible lifetime of disability by denying her back surgery that doctors and nurses believe is critically important.

The nurses will accompany the family and demand to speak directly to a Blue Cross corporate decision maker. Kutcher vows to go through with her surgery scheduled for March 11 at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, even if she has to pay out of pocket and lose her house in the process.
