Greene's attorney, Steven Nullman, said in a statement that he believes"the decision sets out a very dangerous precedent that could have a major impact on health care providers around the country who are risking their own lives while fighting to save others," according toEric Greene's attorney, Paul Leinoff, said in a statement that he and his client"have the upmost respect for Dr. Greene's commitment to her critical work during this pandemic," according to CNN.
