Although it sounds like you have it covered it is not for the reasons you are stating. With that said, in a patient care area you can not have an "isolated ground" period, you must have a raceway that in itself is an EGC recognized in article section 250.118 and an insulated ground wire per 517.13(B), these two EGC's must be bonded (tied) together to give redundancy to each other. It sounds as though the Jman pulled two insulated conductors and this was unnecessary but, if they are both bonded to the raceway in one way or another it is fine.
Did you check to see if the receptacles had a green dot or did they have a green triangle?

Roger,
Agreed.
Leaking voltage/currents can harm/kill a patient with intravenous catheters.
Once had an administrator berate me for requesting a fix to a "switch on cord-plug" method that had been used since day one.
His wife was a nurse in the patient care area, and
she grabbed the cord-plug and was 'shocked' to the floor. hmy:
The admin apologized in person, and authorized a fix.
Everything must be grounded, and more. Also, per code, as stated.
To the point,
Please differentiate between the "green dot" and the "green triangle".
Is the "dot" for hospitals and the triangle for computer lines ? ? ?
