  2. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    FLAlleycat replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can see him perhaps in denying. But I can also see him in really not knowing. The family had been told the girl was ill with pregnancy-related illness. He lived in an area where there was no Ebola....

  3. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    FLAlleycat replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I understand the desire to blame Duncan by saying he lied; however, that really has not been proven. According to later news reports, he lived in an area of Liberia not affected (at that time) by...

  4. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    FLAlleycat replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are right on this one. I researched that when people were blaming CDC. I know CDC recommended hospitals have drills and education sessions with lots of practice donning and doffing PPE. I know...

    Well, color me shocked! Appears firefighters get the same lack of sympathy. Families sue Arizona over 2013 wildfire that killed 19 firefighters | Daily Mail

  6. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    FLAlleycat replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ouch! I about bit my lip off! Anyway, you'd think the least they would do is refurnish her apartment, wardrobe, etc. How sad the wedding's off, but guess it's best to find out if "in sickness and...

  7. Ebola survivor Dr. Craig Spencer speaks out

    FLAlleycat replied to Semolina's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are these states still requiring quarantine of asymptomatic HCWs? Haven't heard of anyone, except military, being quarantined, and I know visitors from W Africa as well as HCWs are still arriving at...

  8. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    FLAlleycat replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

  9. 6000 Ebola Vaccines ready in Sierra Leone

    FLAlleycat replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When the first doctor with Ebola was transported to the US, I couldn't believe the public's reaction . . . even the reaction of many on this forum. I personally felt that ANY infected healthcare...

  11. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    FLAlleycat replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She's probably working. I feel sure she'll be back. After all, she IS the center of attention. If it helps fuel her ego, what can I

  13. 6000 Ebola Vaccines ready in Sierra Leone

    FLAlleycat replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ebola has already slowed a lot in W Africa. US troops pulled out of Liberia last month and their government stated there is better adherence (FINALLY, huh) to guidelines and reporting. Liberia,...

  15. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    FLAlleycat replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Going down memory lane in the other thread and then seeing this thread . . . 1. My best friend in middle school was hospitalized for over a year, some of in spent in the famous iron lung, because of...

  16. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    FLAlleycat replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was just posting another thread under "Disasters .. . . " and noticed this thread is STILL going strong. 1077 posts . . really?? Surely there MUST come a time when realization hits that no matter...

  18. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    FLAlleycat replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've said it before and will say it again . . . I LOVE Doc Bastard. He rips apart an article that brought up every anti-vax argument mentioned in this thread by those who, I guess, thought were...

  19. Ketamine for resistant MDD

    FLAlleycat posted a topic in Psychiatric

    My specialty is not psych! But I have been reading research in this area as I have an adult son on disability due to treatment-resistant MDD. He was diagnosed with MDD at age six and has been on so...

    FLAlleycat replied to Preeps's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Today I completed the pt satisfaction survey for my four-day stay:sneaky: I hope I did good by all of you. Of course, I said all the nurses were fantastic, which they were. As a matter of fact, my...

  21. The Story of Jahi Continues

    FLAlleycat replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Thanks, JustBeachy . . . I couldn't tell if he was or was not ever declared brain dead. When I reviewed the articles I could find, I see that the ONLY reports of his being declared brain dead were...

  22. The Story of Jahi Continues

    FLAlleycat replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Oops . . . that definitely sounded insulting to those from NJ. Perhaps I should've suggested "Last chance for the brain dead" instead of "home of". Quite

  23. The Story of Jahi Continues

    FLAlleycat replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I'm not all that familiar with this story; however, it appears he, too, has been transported to NJ. NJ's vehicle tags will soon be changed from "The Garden State" to "Home of the Brain Dead"....

  24. Regarding chronic tardiness

    FLAlleycat replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, Klone . . . I emphasize with you! My son can take a 45-minute shower and think he was in there for only 5 minutes. Smart phones are great in that the alarms are easy to set and carry around;...

  25. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    FLAlleycat replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Somehow when I was borne (a long, long time ago), I caught pertussis in the hospital. My mom said it was touch and go for a long time as I was constantly catching infections like pneumonia, and she...
