    This hamburger story is one that got traction on the internet to the point that people believe it as fact. Someone here said she saw the grandmother admit to giving her food on a news report, but I...

  3. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm going to take issue with a statement from the lawsuit: Nina Pham states that she never had "any" training on infectious diseases? I am willing to believe she had no training about ebola...

  6. Support Kaci Hickox

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you believe the above, then why the hell did you come on here criticizing Kaci Hickox for not wanting to be IMPRISONED when she was not sick?! She had every intention of following the current...

  7. Support Kaci Hickox

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay, well, let's look at how ebola "behaved" here in the US. Mr. Duncan traveled to Texas from Liberia after he was infected with ebola but not yet symptomatic. He sat on airplanes in Europe and in...

  8. Support Kaci Hickox

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why should Kaci have known she would be forcibly quarantined when she came back? HCW treating ebola overseas have been coming back for DECADES with no forced quarantines. But for some reason this...

  9. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think people are getting confused about how this all went down. The hospital never threw Nina under the bus. It was the CDC head who stated that she was infected "because of a break in protocol,"...

  12. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    In the suit, Jahi's bio dad is referred to as a "nominal defendant." I'm not sure why he was included at all. nominal party. n. a defendant or a plaintiff included in a lawsuit because of...

  14. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Considering that she was ill with a very deadly infection, I think a discussion about end of life care was completely appropriate. They wanted to know her preferences about being intubated, put on...

  15. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Wow, the tide has really turned here, imo. I read this article and then went down to read some of the comments. I expected to see a mix of supporters and those who are not impressed with the...

  16. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    That's not at all unusual in personal injury or malpractice suits. Although, for some reason, I thought they had two years from the time of injury to

  21. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    IIRC, Dolan has always said if there was to be a malpractice lawsuit, that he would not be the one handling it. It's not a matter of "being booted" if I understand the situation

  22. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Well, perhaps we will get an official look at what happened. Of course, the hospital will now have the opportunity to defend itself through the medical record. I have my opinions on how the family...

  24. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Who is she suing? Do you have a link? This whole thing becomes very interesting. Do we have some kind of fundamental right to not be exposed to illnesses to which there is no vaccine? Even if we do...

  25. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe Mr. Duncan did lie to the staff at PHD, but I also believe he did so because he was terrified that he would be turned away from the hospital if he admitted he had exposure to ebola....
