Kaci Hickox, the nurse who grabbed headlines for defying quarantines in New Jersey and Maine after treating Ebola patients in West Africa, is leaving the state.
Hickox, a Texas native, told me in an email that she’s moving to Oregon to take a job with a large health care system.
She arrived in Maine in October following a trip to Sierra Leone to care for Ebola patients, bringing the national debate over travel restrictions for health care workers returning from West Africa to Fort Kent’s doorstep. Hickox lived in the Aroostook County town during her showdown with the LePage administration, later relocating to Freeport and then Yarmouth.
As she insisted throughout the ordeal, Hickox never was infected with Ebola.
She has remained in the spotlight, named a person of the year by Time magazine, blasting New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for his comments about vaccines, and embarking on speaking engagements to raise awareness about Ebola and the world’s response to the deadly virus.
She has said she hopes to return to West Africa.
She'll fit in better in Oregon. Better still, in Africa.
Leaving a $500,000 unpaid bill behind, no doubt.
She put so many people in jeopardy.
Oregon residents ought consider
increasing the health care insurance
(if anything exists at all, anymore).
I think it’s foolish for any medical service to hire her. She is very cavalier and arrogant
Oh look, its’ The Ebola Nurse! better keep your lawyers on speed dial, cause here comes trouble, the Drama Queen herself. Wonder if her Boyfriend in still playing Clyde to her Bonnie.
Yeah, Africa would be a perfect fit.
Didn't work. :-)
“I think it’s foolish for any medical service to hire her. She is very cavalier and arrogant”
I certainly wouldn’t want this person attending to me and If I was being taken to the hospital she worked in in an emergency I would request being taken elsewhere, even if was further away.
Defy an quarantine order and still fine gainful employment in the healthcare industry.
I think that's worse than merely refusing to get a vaccine.
A Sandra Fluke wannabe.
/snark on
I doubt she needs them much. There's a pic at the article. Didn't want to paste it and scare away the FReepers.
/snark off
She did not put a single person in jeopardy.
Yes she did.
Look at the way the news plays her up as some type of rebel. She “fought” and “defied” the quarantine. She’s not a rebel. She’s a self-centered idiot.
I live in Maine, and everyone I talked to last Fall was pissed off at Kaci the moonbat, including people in the medical field.
Good riddance.
How so? The Ebola virus is only contagious when the infected person exhibits symptoms. Hickox did not exhibit any symptoms, because she was not infected with the virus. How, exactly, did she put a single person in jeopardy?
In the meantime, she DID put people in jeopardy. Isolation has ALWAYS been the primary tool for Ebola
Well at least as a new resident of the State of Oregon she can always off herself legally via the state's euthanasia laws.
