Dismissed George Washington resident with cancer sues school, alleging discrimination

A former resident at George Washington University Hospital sued the university last month, alleging she was dismissed because she had cancer. Stephanie Waggel, whose suit said she had to work "more than 100 hours a week," received "letters of deficiency" after alleged shortcomings on the job in the wake of her diagnosis. A George Washington University spokeswoman denied Waggel's claims but declined to discuss the case in detail.
