I started reading this blog... it is heart wrenching. I haven't finished reading but thought you all would be interested in hearing in first person from a doctor with boots on the ground about how this scourge is being treated and how people are lite...

Good grief. You'll get in more trouble not leaving babies with mom. How can anyone supervise 7 mom's at once. Impossible.

Rub a little dirt on it and you're good to go.

I got in trouble once for giving away too many sandwiches. As they said 'There are only so many and they have to last all night'. I cooled it a bit after that and explained to the family members that it was only for patients as well don't have enough...

I'll never forget giving a guy a sandwich who had just been cleared after a car accident (trauma). He was so happy with the sandwich he got teary… it was a young guy. He was so hungry. I love giving out sandwiches. LOL!

That is truly amazing. When my father in law passed. We had a service at Rosecrans which is a military cemetery. I was unprepared for the honor given him in the military service. I had never experienced it before. Our Veterans do know the meaning of...

These are interesting thoughts… I have someone close to me who is in the arts (modern dancer). She does the 'go fund me' things to raise money for her shows which are small and she doesn't have the money to pay her dancers otherwise with the costs of...

When my kids were young, and ready for camp (they are adults now so it's been a while) I volunteered for a week at a time… they went different weeks. So, I was basically the back up nurse and was there to cover the regular nurse who went home for 48 ...

That's good. I see a lot of positions for NP positions and I think there will be more and more positions available in the future. You have a great attitude and you will gain good experience which will make you more valuable.

Run. Sounds like a very unprofessional place.

I have had several nurse friends get their NP only to go back to bedside nursing because the pay was so much worse. They had a completely different deal with the hospital and were contracted under the doctors contract… Anyways, it completely cooled m...

Nina looked GREAT yesterday! I am amazed that she and Amber have recovered so quickly. Thank GOD!

Kick Ass Amber. Just kick ASS!

I would as long as I had a hazmat suit with a respirator… and a buddy to spot me… and I didn't have any other patients. I think nurses should get a giant bonus though for putting their lives on the line... The problem is… what if it takes a while be...

This came out on Oct 5. Super funny

That's sooo funny! He should be appointed the Eboli Czar!!! That would be a funny Saturday Night Live skit except that only the medical professionals would get the humor.

You know how we say that 'you can't make these things up?' and how when you're at work in the middle of the stupidest craziest fiascos… you turn to your co worker and say…'no one would believe this'… This Ebola 'crisis' is like that… one bad decisio...

And this is exactly why he is a poor choice because Ebola is a public health concern, not a political platform. There needs to be someone who actually knows something about Ebola if they are going to be appointed 'Czar'.

I was a bit shocked by some of what I read especially how he is not treating Ebola, but trying to isolate his hospital from the other Ebola cases yet finding himself exposed. This would never fly in America due to EMTALA (but that is what they have t...

"So far only 130 out of the 800 volunteers have been vetted for suitability, and 120 of those have been approved. They will then still need two weeks of training in the UK followed by more “live” training in Sierra Leone. “The cold training in the cl...

I agree to some degree. I think what the nurses here are concerned about is possibility of it showing up in their hospital knowing that their hospital would handle it equally badly… The CDC sent out the information to be prepared last summer but unti...

It's easier to get a job while you have a job.

Thinking of you both and praying that you will beat this terrible disease. Thank you for your dedicated service in caring for someone with Ebola while not being provided adequate protection. Stay strong and don't give up or get discouraged!!!

Why hire a doctor when you can hire a LAWYER!!?????? Seriously? Are you kidding me? What is he going to do? Manage the political fallout. That's his job. He was hired to find other people to blame. He is a political operative there to protect THE P...

Ok. Retraction: Woman who caused Ebola scare at Pentagon admits she made up story about traveling to West Africa | Fox News It was a hoax. GEEZ LOUISE!!!! The crazies have found a new way to terrorize us.
