In a separate interview with CNN Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen, Hickox elaborated on what she thought of Christie's assessment of her medical condition.
"I'm sorry, but that's just a completely unacceptable statement in my opinion. For (Christie) -- a politician who's trusted and respected -- to make a statement that's categorically not true is just unacceptable and appalling."
"She's fine. She's not sick."
Hickox told Crowley that mandatory quarantine is "not a sound public health decision" and that public health officials -- not politicians -- should be making the policies related to Ebola and public safety.
"For the first 12 hours, I was in shock. Now I'm angry," she added.
On Sunday, Hickox's lawyers met with Hickox at the hospital, saying they had a 75-minute conversation through a piece of clear plastic while she sat inside the tent.
"She's fine. She's not sick," lawyer Steven Hyman said in a sidewalk news conference aired on CNN affiliate WABC. "She went and did a magnanimous thing and deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, not put in isolation because some political leaders decided it looks good to do
Kaci Hickox, a nurse placed under mandatory quarantine in New Jersey, went on CNN on Sunday and criticized the "knee-jerk reaction by politicians" to Ebola, saying "to quarantine someone without a better plan in place, without more forethought, is just preposterous."
Hickox, an epidemiologist who was working to help treat Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, has tested negative twice for Ebola and does not have symptoms, she said. She is quarantined for 21 days at University Hospital in Newark.
"This is an extreme that is really unacceptable, and I feel like my basic human rights have been violated," Hickox told CNN's Candy Crowley on "State of the Union."

From what it seems, yes. This is nothing but a set up so obola can bust in on states' rights.
She is, actually. In the comments of one of the articles, a poster dug up the dirt and she is some sort of consultant for the CDC.
She sounds like a typical bleeding-heart liberal.
Listen, all you “Doctors Without Borders” do-gooders. Are you not over there to cure the disease and to prevent its spread? If so, isn’t that also your goal here in the US?
If so, WHY ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU NOT VOLUNTARILY QUARANTINE YOURSELVES FOR 21 DAYS WHEN YOU RETURN...you know, to PREVENT SPREADING IT TO INNOCENT AMERICANS?
No, your ‘intentions’ are good, so you should be allowed to go over there, do what you need to alleviate your liberal white guilt, then come back here and prance around our population centers spreading the disease and every American who contracts it should be glad to have it, because the cause is good.
Anyone who brings this disease to America through carelessness or maliciousness...AND ANYONE WHO ALLOWS OR ENABLES ITS SPREAD IN AMERICA...is guilty of treason.
Until we know more about how long people infected with hemorrhagic fever viruses can go without symptoms and yet be contagious, I have no sympathy for this nurse - she can sit in quarantine for 3 weeks without belly-aching. Working to ensure the prevention of the spread of a deadly disease is one of the few legitimate exercises of government power.
She doesn't realize how good she has it.
But she works for the CDC. That means she makes A LOT more money and can stay in a 4star hotel and live it up - a la our tax dollars. And maybe strike it rich and marry a doctor. Or maybe get her picture taken with some scantily clad natives and send the picture out with her Christmas card. EX-cuuuuse me, her holiday card.
What a selfish person.
What a pathetic whiner.
You are probably right..
she may not have had a hands on experience with the dying Ebola patients at all..
how long was she actually over there ???
Just an Obamatron blowing smoke for “the one”. They are getting very easy to spot.
BTW - the odious nurse has a sister named Kara who also lives in Texas. Too bad she has such a selfish sister.
This entire Nurse crap is a Dem media and Val Jarret PR scam .
The phony nurse aka CDC political hack is a well known leftist Zealot and written left wing rants before at the Baltimore Sun !
Get over it, princess - You are still getting paid by the CDC .
The CDC will still kiss your booo-boos in 21 days, and give you back pay !!
I am glad you don't go bowling !
or take the trolleys ! Prima-donna !!
I might steal that Null!
I was once stuck on the Small World ride at Wally World with the theme song playing full blast. I ain’t been right since.....
At one time, yes, she was.
Check ray76 posts.
I seem to remember hearing something about the road to hell and good intentions somewhere.
She is p*ssed that she is not getting a homecoming parade and being treated like a hero. So how does it feel leftie to be treated like a Vietnam Vet?

The nurse currently quarantined in New Jersey is an employee for the Centers for Disease Control and a registered Democrat with a history of left-wing advocacy, Gotnews.com has learned.
Kaci Hickox’s ties to the CDC were not disclosed in a controversial anti-quarantine column she wrote for the Dallas Morning News. The CDC opposes quarantines or travel bans from Ebola infected countries.
Initially turned down for Doctors Without Borders, Hickox applied for a position with the Centers for Disease Control’s infectious disease unit. She received that position and began a two-year fellowship in Las Vegas, NV where she currently still works.
Hickox’s travels as a nurse took her to Myanmar, Cambodia, and Nigeria and convinced her of the importance of quarantines and “health surveillance,” according to the University of Texas-Arlington newsmagazine. “I realize that we need to find better ways to improve health surveillance and outbreak response in settings with poor resources,” Hickox said. “My training in the EIS with the CDC will allow me to learn the gold standard of this kind of work.”
But Hickox, who is a registered Democrat in Nevada, is ignoring health surveillance as she pushes back against a mandatory quarantine for persons working with ebola in West Africa.

You couldn’t have made a more ignorant, uninformed, asinine statement about nursing if you tried.
