  1. Maine Med Assn calls Kaci a hero

    FLAlleycat replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Personally, I doubt she invited the press but they more than likely are hanging out in her front yard. I also note that in every interview, she brings out the fact that the quarantine is not based on...

    FLAlleycat replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Here is the interview with the vice president of Maine Medical Association. He brings up many excellent rebuttals to quarantine, as well as the harm such quarantines will have and the fact that it is...

    Maine Medical Association is referring to Kaci Hickox as a "hero" and I couldn't agree more with them! State health leaders criticize Maine CDC over Kaci Hickox quarantine - The Portland Press Herald...

  7. RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    FLAlleycat replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At least California isn't requiring mandatory quarantine for this returning doctor . . . maybe this will open some doors. But, meanwhile, let' keep frying Kaci (sarcasm)! Bay Area Doctor Who Treated...

  8. Help me bring this into the public!

    FLAlleycat replied to malenurse122879's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But this demonstrates exactly that self-monitoring does indeed

  9. Help me bring this into the public!

    FLAlleycat replied to malenurse122879's topic in Disaster Preparation

    " . . . What's crazy is the hospital does this all the time to patients. How many times have we argued with patients about not leaving the floor, or not to take their personal medications, or not to...

  10. RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    FLAlleycat replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There easily could be experts on the disease posting here. But some of us do get our information about Ebola from experts who have been studying and working with Ebola for over 40 decades and from...

  11. RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    FLAlleycat replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As the general public does read our forum, I feel you are promoting their hysteria when you represent yourself as a professional and post such inaccurate

  12. RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    FLAlleycat replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm really glad Kaci is standing up for her rights. The rights of too many people are being blatantly disregarded because of the fear and hysteria of an uneducated public. I think her filing the law...

    FLAlleycat replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, looks like panic p*ssed off the wrong RN this time:yes: At least Dr. Spencer's belongings haven't been torched and all the subway cars in NYC weren't terminally cleaned so maybe that's a tiny...

  14. RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    FLAlleycat replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    MissyWrite, I do agree with what you are saying, but it is so darn frustrating! I don't think the hysterics will EVER "get it". Maybe this is Kaci's wooden club. If I were she, I would stay inside...

  15. Ebola- Quarantine/Quasi quarantine Yes or No?

    FLAlleycat replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had to take a break from the Ebola threads on AN for a while as I was beginning to feel like Don Quixote . . . so much panic and hysteria and so little science and critical thinking. I am delighted...

  16. Ebola- Quarantine/Quasi quarantine Yes or No?

    FLAlleycat replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Personally, I feel mandatory quarantine of healthcare providers returning from W Africa is outrageous. Per CNN, over 150 people arrive from W Africa daily, and we're only going to quarantine the...

  18. TX RN positive Ebola

    FLAlleycat posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Although I think we all anticipated some exposures to appear, I'm distressed to read that one of the RNs caring for Duncan and wearing PPE has become infected....

  19. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    FLAlleycat replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Both have tested negative. I am going to have to leave this topic (probably to the delight of many) as I absolutely must get some things done when not at work! I will say, though, that I do like the...

    FLAlleycat replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Quote: "A report by CIDRAP Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy and the University back in September believed differently We strongly urge the US Centers for Disease Control and...

    CDC does NOT have that authority. It may after today's panel hearing,

  22. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    FLAlleycat replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    CDC sent several guidelines to hospitals starting in June, I think. Hospitals had sufficient time to make plans (ID isolation, order supplies, train staff . . . all that you mentioned above). The...

  23. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    FLAlleycat replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know because Duncan was discharged. Yes, CDC is the expert and made recommendations to hospitals which were not followed. I am not saying CDC is faultless . . . as I am not saying the hospital is...

  24. Media a bit too invasive of nurse's personal info following her catching Ebola?

    FLAlleycat replied to Blue Roses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Now that more hospitals are seeking Magnet status, it is not uncommon for RNs who have been in a special field to suddenly seek certification. In any media article referring to her "recent"...

    FLAlleycat replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hospitals vs CDC . . . I am not laying all this on CDC. CDC works on a national level; hospitals work on a community level. CDC can only make recommendations to hospitals. It made these...
