fricking this. The healthcare worker fricked up somewhere. Maybe she got lazy and didn't properly follow protocols. Hospital staffs need to be better trained on this.
This .
But I must backtrack & apologize as I assumed she may have been contaminated on the patients 1st visit.
Similar thing happened in Spain.

All I know is that I have a 12 gauge ready to go if I get that shite. Note on the door saying that I contracted it somehow, messages to the family, etc all outside. I'll call 911 and tell them what I'm about to do and tell them I had ebola.
*Bam*
If I'm going out, it definitely WONT be from that painful agonizing death.

Triage nurse? Maybe not. Doc? Probably. 103 fever and from Liberia I believe? Wow! He must have been in robot mode or burn out mode and said "frick this guy. this is Dallas. What are we gonna do? Call CDC and lock down every black man with a fever and an accent? Get this "troll" out of here."
If you don't know ER use of word "troll" you aren't in it.

Well that's kind of silly, considering it's not always fatal. If anything, call one of the main centers and then barricade yourself until they can transport you properly.

He prolly doesn't have kids or any family.

I think suicide is a bit of an overreaction

Ebola AIDS though, it's like.....later

Someone with that attitude is better suited to a field that doesn't involve caring for other people's loved ones anyway, IMHO

I up voted for contact....

Meanwhile, the virus gets to multiply and mutate in that victim for as long as it lives. And what about the people in the ER that first treated the victim, before it was determined it was a victim. Can't put everybody in a bubble suit.
are you saying we should put down any person who contracts Ebola?

Im gonna move to Senegal or Nigeria. Seems like they are pros at treating ebola compared to the US

I actually read his comment as "I'm an idiot who has no idea how this viral infection works"
Incubation period is like 2-21 days, then if the patient survives with supportive care, the virus is self limiting after ~1-2 weeks from the time symptoms present. The patient is contagious when they start showing symptoms.
I feel like this has been posted in every Ebola thread, some OTers are just too stupid to read.

CDC director has avoided 3x the question of moving the patient to Emory or Nebraska where they are thoroughly trained and have the biocontainment facilities in place.

So being from Liberia means you can just spontaneously contract Ebola right now? If he wasn't clear about his recent travel to the endemic region it would be easy to miss. Considering there had never been a case diagnosed in US previously.

Why move the patient, potentially exposing more people and adding stress to someone who is already going to be fighting for their life? There's negative pressure rooms in most hospitals. I'd think it makes more sense to move CDC personal into the hospital the patient is currently at

The former CDC director Dr. Besser who works for ABC News asked the question the first time. I heard him on local news in Dallas. Reason is to make sure that the protocols that were breached at Texas Presbyterian are drastically reduced at a hospital that has biocontainment facilities and thoroughly trained personnel. CNN is now raising the question as well.

Not what I said. He just came from Liberia and presents with febrile illness?
They keep referring to a "battery" of tests. Guy had to be there 2-3 hours. We are in the middle of the panic mode. What protocols were in place at that point for all intake areas like en ER. He had to ignore some.

Deny anyone who is traveling on a passport from a West Africa country entry into the U.S. or if any has their passport stamped as being in these countries, no entry into U.S. Order the airlines to check the passports before the passengers get on the plane coming to U.S.
Special accomadations can be made for relief workers.
This is a situation that overides all the PC crap.

We move people all the time for level of care. This is a form. Level of safety to public as well. In addition this dude died. The 3 missionaries/cameraman are all still alive.
How many CDC personnel are available to roll out all over the country?

quote:Because they all received care before they reached the point Duncan was at. Those hospitals were also notified since they knew prior to going to the hospital that it was Ebola.

The main problem though is when that person receives care. The Liberian was symptomatic without care for much longer than the others due to his unknown arrival in the states.
