  1. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe it was the Texas Dept. of Health which destroyed her belongings, not the CDC. Are they named in the suit as well? As to the dog, I'm not sure, but I think that was mandated by the City of...

  2. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    First, let me re-iterate that I support Nina here. I think she SHOULD be compensated. HOWEVER, if the CDC protocols were followed, and they were inadequate, that's more on the CDC. Public health and...

  3. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree the protection was inadequate but I disagree that having to tape the gowns is the "same" as taping one's neck! The question for a jury will be: was the Hazmat/respirator current CDC protocol...

  4. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From what some of the other nurses there said, they followed CDC protocol, which turned out to be inadequate. It took weeks for the CDC to modify their recommendations. I don't think it is fair to...

  5. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I support Nina's right to sue, but just wanted to address the comment about Duncan's "lie." The ER nurse who took care of Mr. Duncan on the night he was delivered to PHD by ambulance states that he...

  6. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    First of all, the authors of that study did NOT conclude that the virus was spread via the airborne route. Secondly, one of the authors of that study did a follow up study to see if he could...

  7. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't blame Nina for filing suit. Some of her language sounds like PI lawyer speak, though. It sounds to me like a lawyer contacted her, and over time, whispered in her ear long enough to bring...

    They didn't tape their necks. They taped the gowns so that their necks would no longer be

  10. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think the hospital will settle with her. I don't think it would be a smart PR move on their part to go to court on this. I'm sure Amber Vinson won't be far behind with her own lawsuit. It...

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That dress is SOO blue and dark brown. I just showed hubby, and he said "is this a trick question? It's white and tan." He had NO idea this was "a thing," and had not heard a thing about

  13. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Somehow I missed this gem. You do realize that you have EXACTLY described Wakefield and his completely bogus study, don't you? Hand picked subjects, fabricated data, a financial conflict of...

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I loved that one doctor: "Remember that time you got polio? NO, YOU DON'T, because your parents got you $%#@-ing

  15. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think for some it has a lot to do with ego, almost a narcissism. "I am too special/superior/intelligent/whatever for you to TELL ME WHAT TO DO." That's why they not only bristle against health...

  16. Ebola survivor Dr. Craig Spencer speaks out

    Horseshoe replied to Semolina's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When Dr. Spencer was hospitalized, I remember reading comments from people saying they should destroy the bowling shoes he was wearing so the next person wouldn't get ebola from them. Seriously, no...

    Horseshoe replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    FLAlleycat, I'm not surprised. When all the hysteria about bringing infected HCW to Emory started, people who KNOW EBOLA, those who have studied it for decades and worked with for decades said that...

    LOL, I've kind of danced around that concept for a while. And I'm considered to be overly blunt. LOVE

  19. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The meningitis one is a BIGGIE. This thing gets going at colleges from time to time and it's very scary. Think Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy. I had a patient with this complication, and it...
