Ebola - The New Pandemic - Coming to someplace near you soon?!

[Peter Lemkin]

Another hospital worker in Dallas has ebola. So how will they spin it this time? We know they were in protective gear. A sneeze perhaps?

I just heard how that Dallas hospital handled this case - twice; they did worse than most Liberian health facilities. The first time he was given antibiotics and send home. On re-admission the patient first long sat in an emergency waiting room with other patients and staff. Then, he was finally moved to an isolation unit, but the nurses and others who were around him did NOT have anything NEAR sufficient protective clothing! [nor the training on how to use them, and how to treat an Ebola patient!]...and worst of all, they sent his lab specimens through the hospitals pneumatic tube system - infecting the entire system, other lab specimens, and lab technicians. That hospital will likely have to be partly closed and disinfected - and many who work there and/or were patients/visitors will come likely down with Ebola...sorry to say. Dallas is the new American epicenter of Ebola.....ironic fate. Now would be a good time to stop shaking hands around town and go on vacation......

Wasn't there a note written by a nurse in the electronic records system alerting to possibility of Ebola?

Yes, the nurse that attended the man the first time he self-admitted and said he had just returned from 'West Africa' suspected he MIGHT have Ebola and noted this in the computer - but NONE of the doctors that 'treated' him ever saw that computer entry - so he was just given antibiotics and sent home. This hospital has made MANY mistakes and will pay dearly for them, I'm afraid. When he returned in an ambulance the second time he stated he feared he had Ebola - and they put him in a waiting room for some hour.......
