Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Dallas Commissioners Will Declare State Of Disaster Tomorrow Over Ebola

Where's Rancho Loco with his definition of hysteria???

Yup.....lawsuit central is right around the corner. Especially, for those who now die in that hospital.

Like a buddy of mine said last night can't you just imagine those 72 people laughing while putting on their suits and then parading around in front of this guy wanting to see the man with ebola?

Sad but true.

BTW what idiot hospital administrator allows that many people even close to the man???

I was not aware of that. If true that's a level of incompetency I can't imagine

But as a health care professional, why in the world is she calling the CDC to ask if she should fly with a fever after working with an ebola patient?

seriously?

Can you imagine how pissed Jerry Jones is? The Cowboys finally don't stink and everyone's distracted by this pandemic crap.

Well, if you asked YOUR Doctor for advice (so you can be a responsible man) would you trust his word that you were OK enough to travel?? The CDC idiots should literally HANG for this.

Forgive me God...but that right there is funny. Especially, to an NFC East guy!!! Thanks for the laugh.

GO REDSKINS!

And their boss.

I was being very inclusive.

Have you met many people in the healthcare profession?

Ever meet SES level of government employees?

There's your answer.

My wife works in a Hospital. The DRs in charge of Infectious diseases in this Hospital have set up their Requirements for protection and Containment.

Their requirement go well past the "Minimal" requirements recommended by the CDC.

At a management meeting The DRs were asked why the Need to go to the Extreme if the CDC doesn't require it, it was a money question.

Their reply, was not very flattering towards the CDC. One comment was made, watch the CDC workers on the TV, see any of them parading around in "Minimal" protection, yet they recommend "Minimal" for the rest of us?

It is almost as if the CDC and our Federal Government wants this to spread.

I have to agree with Trav on this one.

Most of the "health care professionals" I know are neither "professional" nor all that intelligent. I mean no disrespect to nurses who I know and trust to behave responsibly and professionally, but this Dallas-Ohio nurse's idiotic and irresponsible travel behavior was about what I'd expect for the average RN.

You can't blame the CDC for this mess. The nurse knew she was sick. She knew she'd been exposed to Ebola. If she had a shred of sense and real education (most nurses have very little real medical science education) she would have taken personal responsibility for this and would not have gone out in public.

The key to defeating this outbreak is application of sound public health procedures and and acceptance of personal responsibility by every member of the public, including (perhaps especially) healthcare workers.

WTF Doc! News flash - the poor average RN called the CDC more than once, told them all of the relevant facts and the country's foremost EBOLA experts told her it was fine to travel by air.

Can't blame the CDC my azz!

that's like a garage mechanic asking a GM technician if he should change the oil in the car.

It shouldn't have to be asked, regardless of the careless response. Then again, this is the hospital that told a guy from Africa who complained of ebola like symptoms to go home.

With all due respect Doc, you're talking about a country where the majority of voters went for Zero. I don't think as a country, we're big on personal responsibility right now.

If I had been in contact with the ebola patient, I would have not flown for a month and made sure I was somewhat self quarantined anyway. It would be a responsible move for a caregiver IMHO

Great answer!!

Actually, we should keep in mind that when she called the CDC, she almost certainly didn't get to talk to one of the scientists on the Ebola team.

She most likely talked to a telephone operator with a high school education and a photocopied script of "talking points."

Hasn't Dallas always been a state of disaster anyway?

In all fairness Dave, you tend to pick on Texans a lot....

Well, the cowboys have been. At least for quite awhile.

After watching the news the past five days, I can't imagine why.

Laughin'....
