A nurse has filed a million-dollar lawsuit claiming that a Westchester hospital refused to provide her with a mask and she later contracted COVID-19 from a patient.

The nurse, who filed the suit anonymously, charges that Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern didn’t provide the safeguard and assigned her to care for a sweating patient with a 103-degree fever and pneumonia in early March.

Despite the telltale symptoms, the doctor refused to test the patient for the virus in an act of “gross negligence,” the Manhattan federal suit alleges. The physician told her he would only order the test if the patient had pneumonia in both lungs.

The nurse reported to two supervisors that she was unable to get a mask for the patient or herself.

“I’ve lived through three of these end-of-the-world pandemics, and we’ll be ok,” one of the supervisors allegedly responded, according to the suit.

The nurse allegedly told her district manager, Megan Hanys, that she had kidney disease and was at greater risk if she contracted the virus — but she still wasn’t provided a mask, the suit says.

“She had to suction virus-laden gunk out of the patient’s throat,” the federal complaint alleges. Had the patient been tested, the nurse would have been provided personal protective equipment, according to the filing.

After the patient passed away, his family had him tested and he was positive. The nurse soon developed symptoms and was sent home before testing positive.

She remained quarantined from March 16 to approximately April 7 and returned to work. She was finally provided with a mask, but the suit states that was inadequate.

“The first night, the mask would just come off her face,” the filing says. The nurse said she needed a more expensive mask called a PAPR, which retails on Amazon for $1,700, since the N95s didn’t fit her face. But the hospital refused to provide it, she alleges.

She asked to be transferred to a “clean unit” that wasn’t treating COVID-19 patients but her supervisors allegedly refused.

“So it was a Hobson’s choice for Plaintiff: risk reinfection or quit,” the suit says.

The nurse resigned and is now suing for $1 million in damages.

Hospitals have suffered a shortage of safety equipment nationwide during the pandemic. At one city hospital, desperate nurses resorted to wearing trash bags last month, The Post exclusively reported.
