Nurses Union: Duncan Not Put In Isolation, Waste Piled Nearly Up to Ceiling
CNN News via Breitbart TV ^ | 14 Oct 2014, 8:15 PM PDT

Posted on 10/14/2014 9:15:46 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported on further allegations made by a nurses union that Dallas Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan was not put into isolation, allowed his blood to circulate through the hospital’s tube system, and that waste “piled up nearly to the ceiling” inside patient’s rooms on Tuesday’s “CNN Tonight.”

Gupta said that the National Nurses United stated that they were informed by nurses that “Mr. Duncan was not in isolation. He was not in isolation for several hours, despite the fact that a nursing supervisor asked that he go into isolation, and that he may have come in contact with seven patients at that time.”

The also claimed, “the blood, the laboratory blood that was taken from Mr. Duncan was sent through the hospital tube system…and the concern is that tube system could potentially become contaminated as a result of the fact that this blood with Ebola was circulating through it.”

All of this was going on while Barry was on the golf course.

If it goes pandemic, or at this rate long before, it will take a military operation to manage this disease.

Of course, that brings its own set of problems, namely the third world will flock here in droves to stay at the American “Ebola hospitals.”

I am a nurse. If this is true it does not surprise me in the least.

What precautions?

Here’s the CDC website on dealing with Ebola for hospitals:

http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/index.html

Look at the link for Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs):

http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/pdf/ppe-poster.pdf

The hair and neck are NOT covered in the illustration there.

That is live right now on the CDC’s own website.

They are blaming the nurse and the hospital??

This is that rare occasion that a Union is useful and needed.

What were they thinking they were doing? SEVEN pts also in contact w/Duncan?!?

Heaven help us.

Remember from the democrat playbook, create the crisis and give them the solution you want them to have. And never let a crisis go to waste.

Liberal politicians make it seem that we don’t want them coming here because they’re Africans. Some want to make it about race.

It wouldn’t matter to me if they’re Europeans, Asians, South Americans, etc., coming here if they put our nation is harm’s way. I don’t want them to continue to fly over here until the threat is over.

Right.

This is by design. Allowing those from the hot zone would allow Americans to feel the pain of the disease, call for massive government action, Martial Law.

Once it hits central America and Mexico the decision will be either to defend our borders (machine guns and all) or open the doors to millions, many of whom will be potentially infected.

Top down, bottom up, collapse the system.

Quite a few nurses' unions have telegraphed their intention to bail out, if Ebola spreads here.


From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric

I’m guessing they have picture proof, or video.

Waste piled high to the ceiling?

What, dare I ask, do they mean, saying “The waste was piled up nearly to the ceiling”? I refuse to believe they’re talking about feces, I certainly hope not. There are all sort of bags in all sort of colors to hold waste and secretions. Of course, all bets are off with Ebola, at this early stage of the epidemic, it is still the Great Unknown. It was almost this bad 25 years ago when AIDS started. Almost this bad.

Thank you for referencing that article sheikdetailfeather. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Alleged events at the Dallas hospital concerning Mr. Duncan need to be put on a timeline. I understand that medical personnel initially ran tests unrelated to ebola to try to pinpoint his problem. So there was a period where medical personnel didn't know that the problem was ebola.

My question is this. At what point in the timeline did medical personnel correctly diagnose the problem as ebola?
