Wonder why there was never a photo-op with the family?
You would think creepy judge guy would have been all over that.
The health care worker who was quarantined at a New Jersey hospital because she had contact with Ebola patients in West Africa is sharply criticizing the way her case has been handled
"This is not a situation I would wish on anyone, and I am scared for those who will follow me," Hickox said of her quarantine. "I am scared about how health care workers will be treated at airports when they declare that they have been fighting Ebola in West Africa. I am scared that, like me, they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganization, fear and, most frightening, quarantine. ... The U.S. must treat returning health care workers with dignity and humanity."

Valid thought.
Things just don't seem to be adding up. There is more to this than meets the eye.

NEW YORK — A look at the recent activities of Dr. Craig Spencer, a New York City physician who treated Ebola patients in West Africa and this week became the fourth person to test positive for the virus in the United States:
Sept. 18: Spencer leaves for West Africa via Brussels.
Oct. 12: Spencer has final contact with Ebola patients in Guinea, where he had been working with Doctors Without Borders.
Oct. 14: Spencer leaves Guinea.
Oct. 16: Spencer returns to Brussels and checks into a hotel.
Oct. 17: Spencer arrives in New York and, adhering to guidelines, starts a routine of twice-daily temperature checks.
Tuesday: Spencer notices he is feeling more tired than usual, officials say. Visits Manhattan's High Line walkway and the Blue Bottle coffee stand along the walkway.
Wednesday: Spencer takes a three-mile jog along Manhattan's Riverside Park. Later in the day, he takes the A and L subway trains to the Gutter bowling alley in Brooklyn. He takes a car service back home.
Thursday: Spencer feels feverish after 10 a.m. He and his fiancee call health authorities to notify them of his symptoms. EMTs in protective gear take Spencer to Bellevue Hospital in an ambulance surrounded by police cars. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sends an Ebola team to New York. Spencer tests positive for Ebola. His fiancee and two friends are quarantined to prevent exposure to others. www.startribune.com...

Reports are coming in that an "extraordinary number" of staff are calling in sick to the New York hospital to avoid having to treat this Ebola patient.
Horrible morals and ethics from a heathcare system that is constantly touted as "the best in the world".
Any worker that called in sick that can't produce a doctor's note (one NOT written by a doctor at the same hospital) should be fired on the basis of their incredibly poor morals and ethics.
If you're working in a job that requires you to look after sick people, you can't pick and choose which sick people you'd like to look after.
They are kind of like kryptonite because of vague protocols and lack of proper PPE equipment.
Goes back to what the one doctor said about considering not treating Ebola patients. Don't know exactly what 'not treating' includes, or doesn't include.
Sorry, don't remember where I read that about possibly not treating. If anyone has the link, it would be appreciated.
