Sanjay Gupta To Dallas Hospital: "It's Not That Challenging" Just "Cover Your Skin!"
RCP Video ^ | 10-15-2014

Posted on 10/15/2014 1:17:52 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot

SANJAY GUPTA: "...... It's not that challenging. We're not talking about some new experimental vaccine or experimental medication. We're talking about covering your skin. Cover your skin because that's how you get ebola. If you're a health care worker, taking care of a sick patient, that's the time they're most infectious, that's why health care workers do get sick -- cover your skin. ....."

Dr. Gupta,

Would you like to go to Dallas to personally demonstrate and care for the sick nurses?

Anyone who has seen a news story on Ebola knows that everything needs to be covered, that is everyone except the administration of the Dallas hospital.

He actually did go to West Africa, suit up, and go into a ward. And he’s a neurosurgeon at Emory, so he knows the biocontaiment protocols here. So although I’m not a fan of his, he did walk the walk a bit more than most.

“Hey doc, your country’s calling you home...”

I think Dr. Gupta was born in the USA.

What do you want them to do. Put them in a shead in the parking lot and go Level four before the blood test comes back? Whats a few nurse's after all they are always striking. /s In a lighter note I saw my Dr today and the nurse was pissed that he had been let into the country.

skin?

How about not breathing the same air? All those water droplets in their breath carrying ebola through the air?

Did he use the BSL-4 suit, or just whatever they can find at the Dallas hospital?

The full suit, which is what his hospital here, Emory, would use. I read his on-air comment as saying that the suits should be used because it’s not that hard to figure out not to have uncovered skin.

Covering the skin is not the problem. It’s uncovering where you have real problems.

I saw the video of him disrobing his soiled hospital gear. He was wearing only one layer of gloves, a mask and a back-fastened gown.

What struck me was that he did not disinfect his gloves before he took them off his hands.

Then he FORCIBLY popped open his gown from the front, potentially spraying all the matter on the front of it, into the air and onto the ground.

I would have sprayed down the gown with chlorine before I would have taken it off.

He’s a little too smug for me. Well, he is always smiling. He was ther , he came back. No big deal.

I watch CNN because they are really good with round the clock disaster stuff. They like to whip up hysteria and tell stories about liberal coolness. That is why they had the documentaries on the hippies and Andrew Bourdain and his epicurean globe hopping.

They have stringers all over the globe. They are more important than their talking heads in studio.

Regular, day to day reporting, they are only concerned about BO’s legacy. I mean, that is their constant worry.

He actually did a great demonstration on CNN the other day, all the while reiterating that this is the PPE in the CDC guidelines, but not how he dressed in West Africa. He showed all the places he was exposed—again— wearing the CDC-recommended PPE— and then put Hershey’s syrup on his gloves and the front of his gown before doffing the CDC-recommended PPE. Then he showed potential points of infection, with the Hershey’s on his skin.

He has been very skeptical of the CDC’s handling of this whole situation.

I will try to find the video—

Here it is— http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/health/2014/10/14/sgmd-gupta-ebola-suit-demo.cnn.html
