Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Another loyal voting bloc of the DemocRAT Party (namesly, nursing unions) is on the tip of the knife that stabs Americans in the back.

[wetphoenix]

Screw them! What a nurses they are after that? Some jobs means certain obligations and it is one of these jobs.

[Diogenesis]

DeathCARE/ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE removed the docs and
the insurance. THIS will remove the nurses.

.... But only for the non-EXEMPT.

The EXEMPT will be helicoptered to whatever state
has the best care ... for them, their EXEMPT staff,
and their EXEMPT families.

[Iron Munro]

Don’t these nurses know that Emporer Obama has stated the opposite?

They will be in serious trouble for speaking the truth.

Øbola commands you to be ready!

We can handle a few Ebola cases with isolation in rooms that are designed for this. Think the following:

1. Negative pressure room.
2. Double door portal entrance to the negative pressure room.
3. Absolute sterile technique when carrying for the patient.
4. Anything coming out of that room is to be decontaminated and or burned using proper techniques.

The real problem is we do not have many rooms in our hospitals that can provide this level of care. If we have an epidemic those rooms will be rapidly filled. We can not put Ebola patients on a general hospital ward. To do that would infect everyone on the wards.

If we have a true epidemic you will be cared for by your family or not at all. As a medical professional familiar with sterile technique I could "probably do this" provided I had access to proper gowns, masks, gloves, etc. I would also need access to IV fluids for the patient. The vast majority of people could not do this. They would infect themselves accidently.

Really? Nurses in ERs are not taught the fundamentals of infection control? I thought every hospital had procedures for dealing with contagious diseases; it’s not like the only people who show up in the ER are trauma patients.

“At Medstar, the issue of Ebola training came up at the bargaining table during contract negotiations...”

There ya go... If you want it done right, include it as a bargaining chip in contract negotiations.

Sheesh.

[Organic Panic]

THEY THINK I CARE!!!

Dear Nurses

Get prepared then. Don’t sit there like Katrina people in the dome. Do something.

When Katrina happened I told my kids if you are ever in a situation, don’t just sit there. Walk out. Do something.

[Enterprise]

Dear Nurses: I love you people dearly as a group because of the profession you have chosen. But if you voted for Obama, you voted for your executioner.

I worked in a tissue typing lab during the big new days of AIDS. Most of us were young students, but our supervisors were mature adults. My supervisor - a wonderful woman named Gloria - would grab all the tubes which came in with the bright HIV labels and insist on doing them herself to not expose us college kids to them.

[bgill]

Yet, CDC Frieden claims any ol’ Podunkville Hospital and Veterinarian Clinic can handle Ebola. Nevermind that they’s spent billions of tax dollars to build Level 4 sanctioned Ebola isolation units.

More than 90% of union dues collected by the nurses union goes into the Democrats pockets.
What’s interesting is about 20yrs ago Hillary Clinton was so vocal about her dislike of nurses and commented that they made too much money.
I wonder if the nurses will support HC?
Yeah,they will be worshiping at the feet of the cloven hoofed one,should she decide to trot in 2016.

[Salvation]

BTTT!

My wife is a clinical nurse specialist. From what she tells me and what I see, this is about what I expected.
