no doubt. I just wish I knew who to blame...insurance companies? hospitals? lawyers? pattients who go for reasons they shouldn't? patients that don't pay?
A lot of it is patients that don't pay. That's why you see so many hospitals closing their emergency rooms. Because the uninsured know that if they go there they cannot get turned away...then treatment is given, the hospital losses gobs of money, and they can't afford to keep them open.
Check out an emergency room sometime. There are very few real "emergency" patients in there...it's largely being used as primary care by the homeless or uninsured.
(full disclaimer: this is one small reason for the crazy hospital expenses. Another is malpractice insurance that needs to be carried by HCPs due to the fact that everyone is so quick to sue. There are many more.)

Not reading this but Paige gives me an E Bona. My new made up word. Feel free to use it. If you get a chuckle you can even say you made it up. Enjoy

Be safe out there nurse. My arse wouldn't be handling with that unless given the proper tools to succeed in doing your job correctly. You don't give a truck driver keys and no truck and tell him go drive.

It's been reported on several news outlets that she did in fact fly with fever. That is symptomatic. The CDCs concern threshold is 100.7, but you still have active viral material at that point.

Plus, I am reading she wasn't supposed to fly commercial, symptoms or no symptoms.

Why did this cleveland lady get on the plane? Did she know she wasn't supposed to? If she did and she flew anyway, shouldn't she and her kids not be allowed to fricking breed? Wtf is wrong wth people?
These were my thoughts exactly. She should be denied treatment for intentionally boarding a plane knowing she was still in the fricking incubation period. Absolute willful fricking negligence.

I already knew some of it, specifically the bio-contamination. It's really messed up, but not surprising.

Gupta just said on CNN that Vinson called CDC before she left Cleveland with a low grade fever and they told her it was ok to fly. WTF!

If true, it goes along with the rest of this response. The lessons learned report following this event will be bigger than Hurricane Katrina.

Also Gupta just said that transfer of Vinson to Emory was because they are afraid local nurses would start walking out.
