Watch video as well, since medical correspondent Dr. John LaPook highly stresses to listen to the nurses, for they are the forefront and know what is going on.

Amber Vinson, the second nurse in Dallas to contract the Ebola virus, has retained a high-profile attorney, her family said in a statement. In the statement, obtained by CBS affiliate WOIO in Cleveland, the family said they "are troubled by some of the negative public comments and media coverage that mischaracterize Amber and her actions.""Suggestions that she ignored any of the physician and government-provided protocols recommended to her are patently untrue and hurtful. In the interest of Amber and our family, we have retained esteemed attorney Billy Martin to provide us with legal counsel during this unfortunate and troubling time," the family said in the statement. Martin's past clients include Michael Vick and disgraced former Idaho Senator Larry Craig.
Nurses on the front line in the fight against Ebola
Vinson was among the team of medical professionals who treated the first person to die of Ebola on U.S. soil, Thomas Eric Duncan. Between Sept. 30-Oct. 2 and Oct. 5-Oct. 8, Vinson actively engaged in caring for Duncan, records show. She inserted catheters, drew blood, and dealt with Duncan's body fluids while wearing protective gear. On Oct. 10, two days after Duncan died, the 29-year-old Vinson flew into Cleveland from Dallas. She visited a bridal salon in Akron the following day, and that same night fellow nurse Nina Pham tested positive for the disease.
