German clinic forced to scrap two machines worth £1m because Ebola patient vomited on them"
He recovered after five weeks of intense treatment but not before vomiting on two expensive machines - first vomited on a mobile x-ray machine and then on an equally expensive ultrasound scanner that now must be scrapped.

They couldn’t just clean it with some bleach?
I’ve got a Norelco MG150 x-ray from the 50’s you could probably pressure wash. The price is right guys!
When Ebola arrives in town, it’s very expensive.
Sounds logical to me, but who knows with these highly sophisticated technological marvels.
They couldn’t just clean it with some bleach?
Well pull it apart and spray bleach and expose to UV light...
But I am being paranoid
After about the fourth time this happens they’ll just spritz it with bleach. Will they burn thousands of cars and homes because somebody died in them? Not after the first couple of months.
Hose them suckers down and send ‘em to Ebolaland.

What are you using that for?
Are you irradiating your liberal neighbors ... AGAIN....?
Duncan was put on dialysis ...Can & how does a machine processing blood of an ebola victim get “sterilized” properly for the next patient?
Sounds like they wanted some new equipment and this was the best excuse at hand.

We used it to calibrate x-ray diodes, which were used to measure the output characteristics of the “devices” used in underground nuclear tests back in the day. Also used it to verify radiation transport codes (simulation software).
It is a pretty potent machine, we had to put up lead sheets on the wall next to it because it was dosing the middle stall of the men’s room.
It hasn’t seen much use in recent years, but still works. Nothing made today can run at similar energy levels for the same duration of time. We used to run it 10 hours a day for months.
Fortunately, I don’t have any liberal neighbors. :)
Good thing the guy didn’t vomit in a Bugatti Vayron!
Why discard such expensive, useful medical equipment. Obama has assured us we can all get on the bus with Ebola patients no problem at all.
Does it give you a close shave too?
:-)
Stupid. Chlorine bath plus 10 minutes (overkill) of UV-C would have sterilized the equipment.
Government theater...
Send them to Washington to be cleaned. We have a CZAR that knows everything about E B O L A.
Heck yeah, just sit there a while an all your hair falls out.
