Who is Nina Pham? -- Ebola Puts Conscientious Nurse In The Spotlight

Ebola Puts Nina Pham, a Nurse Unaccustomed to the Spotlight, in Its Glare
By Jack Healy
Oct. 13, 2014
DALLAS — Nina Pham spends her days in isolation inside the same hospital where she contracted the Ebola virus working as a critical care nurse. She discusses her care plans with doctors, said a friend who has corresponded with her. She reads, video-chats with her family and keeps in touch with friends through text messages and emails.
“She’s hopeful and just resting,” said the friend, Jennifer Joseph, who until recently worked with Ms. Pham at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. “Not letting the media and all this overwhelm her. She’s just having some time to herself, to be able to read and relax.”
Ms. Joseph called Ms. Pham, 26, a conscientious and careful nurse who double-checked her charts and never seemed to make a mistake, a description that deepens the mystery of how a nurse garbed in gloves, mask and other protective gear contracted the disease from a Liberian man who died last week of Ebola. On Monday, Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that Ms. Pham’s positive test for Ebola over the weekend had prompted the agency to “substantially” rethink how it approaches infection control for health officials.

I truly hope and pray that she recovers. She risked her life to try to save another - a hero in my book.

Cerealisly - is this a cure for this thing or what? The vaccines are preventative, but what about after you contract it?

She's cute.
I just heard that her condition is now listed as good. That's great news, since she was listed in stable condition before mow.

I know it's not on her mind right now, but assuming she gets better, does she have a reasonable case for defamation, libel or slander against the CDC and its chair?

Btw can we get a thread made every time someone comes down with West Nile and HIV and maybe Lupus?

What's the defamation and what are her damages?

It's interesting how the "war on women" proponents were so quick to blame her lack of accountably and personal/professional responsibility in contracting the virus while doing her job, an admirable service.
Yet, any mention of personal accountability or responsibility for someone like Jennifer Lawrence (who is FABULOUS BTW)and her noods are considered a form of sexual assault or a college woman drunk at a fraternity house who engages in sex or is even (God Forbid) raped are both examples of this "war."

I'm no lawyer, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was able to get something out of a lawsuit like that.
