Why are they apologizing for following faulty CDC protocols?
I think they wanted to take care of Duncan to beef up their prestige( that had already taken a hit due to the misdiagnosis), instead of sending him to one of the four hospitals skilled in treating Ebola.
When they made that decision to keep Duncan , they should have known that the PPE the nurses wore was inadequate. So, instead of going to Home Depot to obtain Tyvek suits, they forced the nurses to wear inadequate coverage, over their protests. Another cheap move on their part, as Tyvek suits cost $7-10 each, and they probably did not want to spend the money.
Then, in a real moment of being absolutely cheap, they assign an ICU level patient to a nurse who had 3 other patients. That is dangerous, for the other patients that the nurse had to take care of. I would never want to be in a hospital ICU as a patient with horrid staffing levels like that. All ICUs should have a nurse patient ratio of 1:1 or 1:2. This staffing ratio for ICU patients is negligence.
Then, they send the specimens through the tube system, contaminating the rest of the hospital.
I would never want to be a patient in this hospital at all.
CDC? That's an acronym for Center for Disease Control? Yes?
Seems they may be due for a name change. How about Center for Disease Propagation?
