No need for a reason to terminate.

Of course, lawsuits are an option, if expensive and time consuming.

Years ago, a friend was fired after a patient made a false accusation. No investigation, no counseling, no following the official procedures.

He just left, saying "I need to make a living. I don't have the time or money to fight it."
