Doctor who treated Ebola patients rushed to NYC hospital
New York Post ^ | 10/23/2014 | Jamie Schram

Dr. Craig Spencer, who returned to New York City from Africa 10 days ago, was rushed in an ambulance with a police escort from his Harlem home to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday, sources said.

He was suffering from Ebola-like symptoms — a 103-degree fever and nausea, sources said.

While he was in Africa, the doctor had been treating Ebola patients in Guinea, sources said.

I wonder if he was monitoring his temp? 103 is pretty high.

“It would be far safer and less destructive to just bring in the big heaters and heat the apartment to something like 150 degrees for a day or so. That would kill Ebola.”

Didn’t work when they tried it on the Reston strain.

Does “glycosylated” have a connection to sugar? Interesting question.

You can get the link by right clicking on the image and selecting "Properties". Looks like it's from the New York Times.

If he already has nausea, he’s gonna be dead in a week or so.

"These are children who had a normal course of illness...and had a clinical recovery, and both of these children became ill in a day or two," Dr Sprecher continued. "They came back and were found to be febrile and [PCR-]positive again. Both children had some neurologic signs. The feeling amongst the virologists is...the virus gets into some parts of the body with immunologic protection, like the central nervous system. The immune response clears the virus from the periphery, the patient has a clinical recovery, while the viral infection progresses in the [central nervous system] and eventually returns and reemerges as a renewed positivity. At least one of the children became negative again.

O.M.G.

Clearly there are way too many unknowns with this virus.

They are just sending all the Ebola, like this Doctor, home too early. Before the 21 undetectable days. Thomas Duncan died on 10/8... Add 21 days to that point and that is the first cleared hurdle. We are still 7 days away from the 21 day period (on average in Africa).

You do know the WHO (World Health Organization) does not consider someone Ebola free until they have gone 42 days?

If we are in the same point 90 days from now, then I will agree with you.

Until then... they are sending the Ebola patients home way too early. Guess they are thinking the election vs. life?

Thanks. So the bowling story- while possible- is unconfirmed at the moment and no one knows where the story came from.

"Yep, ol Chucky Schmucky Schumer implied that NYC hospitals were better prepared for Ebola than the ones in Dallas. For once I hope’s right."

I'm not sure this is "the test" that will provide the answer. The chances are very good that it is early enough in the disease course that the doctor will recover with appropriate treatment. Early on in the disease it doesn't appear that it's very contagious. It's in the horrible final stages that Ebola so frightening. The New York "stress test" will begin when the first advanced Ebola patient is carried (not walks) off the first passenger airline flight.

Dallas Presbyterian hospital was exceeding the CDC guidelines at the time. (I don't think Texas hospitals are heavily unionized like New York hospitals are.)

Yes, unconfirmed. This source says he took Uber to the bowling alley: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-possible-nyc-ebola-patient-took-uber-to-williamsburg-bowling-alley/

Sen. Upchuck Schumer is deeply saddened.
