A New York woman who donated a kidney so her ailing boss would move up the transplant waiting list says she was fired shortly after the operation, Reuters reported.

Deborah Stevens, a former employee of Atlantic Automotive, said she learned that her boss Jacqueline Brucia was in need of a kidney in November 2010, and said she then told Brucia she would donate one.

Though her kidney was not a match for Brucia, she agreed to donate it to a stranger, setting up a transplant chain that enabled Brucia to receive a better-matched kidney from a donor in San Francisco.

After the operation, Stevens said the company discriminated against her over disabilities brought about by complications from the surgery, and finally fired her. She plans to sue the company for lost earnings and damages.

女子捐腎幫老板卻遭開除

???????據(jù)路透社報道，紐約的一名女子捐出一顆腎，好讓她生病的老板做移植手術(shù)能排上號，但她稱，手術(shù)不久她便被開除。

???????大西洋汽車公司的前員工黛博拉·斯蒂文斯稱，2010年11月她得知老板杰奎琳·布魯西亞需要一顆腎，后告知布魯西亞她可捐出一顆。

???????雖然她的腎和布魯西亞不太匹配，但她同意把腎捐給一個陌生人，這樣便可建起移植鏈，使得布魯西亞能從舊金山的捐獻(xiàn)者處得到更加匹配的腎。

???????手術(shù)后，斯蒂文斯稱，手術(shù)并發(fā)癥使她致殘，公司就此對她倍加歧視，最后開除了她。她打算起訴公司，尋求損失的薪酬和賠償金。
