The lawyer for North York General Hospital (NYGH) has threatened to take legal action against a former hospital employee for answering questions about her religious beliefs with verses from the Bible during the discovery phase of a lawsuit.

Wanh Porter, a Christian woman from Toronto, worked as a pediatric occupational therapist in the neonatal intensive care unit at NYGH until November 2021, when she was fired from her 17-year position due to the hospital’s mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy.
