Oh, I wasn't claiming she was the most reprehensible person in the situation by any means.
Yes, fighting the legal case would be an act of futility, even if she won it in the end. There's a definite 'greater good' argument there, certainly. However to me it came down to a simple fact - she has a job and she can't do that job as it stands. I'd argue she can do just as much good as a doctor elsewhere and if she moved out of the legal order's jurisdiction, she could make whatever she knew public.
If she moved to say Canada and then publicised what she knew, what would likely happen? I know the US can start extradition proceedings on very dodgy grounds, as we've seen, but I doubt even they could manage it for simply breaching an NDA. It's a bit of a 'Spycatcher' situation. OK, big choice to make but what if people start dying? At what point do her medical ethics become compromised to such a point she couldn't realistically carry on practicing there anyway?
