Actually, hospitals do not have protocols. When the Ebola patient landed in Texas, our hospital in WA state sent out an email about the PPE we should wear. Except, the neck, arms and lower legs were exposed. Its like they didn’t care. Even the hospital in Texas didn’t care about their staff, and a couple of nurses got Ebola due to a lack of protection protocols.. Thats why the CDC is useless, there was no screening of people coming from Africa. Thats why I don’t care why they are getting fired now under Musk , they also was useless during covid.
Well, the hospital I worked at had them. As a member of the EM team we had protocols for a binder full of scenarios. And we reviewed them and augmented them on an annual basis.
It was the most interesting part of my job there. It was scary to review ALL of the things that could happen.
