“I can no longer defend my hospital at all,” stated Brianna Aguirre, a nurse at the Dallas hospital who treated Ebola patient Thomas Duncan.
She came forward to state that their infectious disease unit had no idea of the protocols needed to handle the patient. Not only was Duncan was held in close contact with other patients, but the medical staff working with Duncan had no protective clothing and worked with other patients after leaving Duncan.
When Aguirre worked with a nurse that was infected with Ebola she was dressed in protective clothing, but her neck was completely exposed, threatening her with infection.
Aguirre reveals many more stupid things this hospital did in their treatment of Patient Zero.
hopefully nothing more will happen but not relying on it.
Absolutely.
Goodbye DFW

This hospital’s infectious disease unit was obviously not prepared to handle a patient with a BSL-4 disease like Ebola, and now many more people may be infected, not just the care givers on the front line because of the callous disregard for infectious disease containment at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in both Plano, and Dallas.
I didn’t see ANYPLACE where she “began” defending her hospital! No matter what the circumstances, this nurse acted like she and the hospital had conflict and she wanted to be the first to flush it down the toilet. There is a difference between incompetence and inadequacy This is the first hospital that was smacked with an Ebola patient and CDC should have been “johnnie on the spot” to direct proper protocol. I’d like to know if she had previously had any authority or workplace issues, then I could say if she were grandstanding or not. For whatever, not a very loyal and/or professional individual at her facility.
We should be sending all these infected people to a hospital in Washington, DC. You know so Obama could go and visit them and hug all their caretakers. You know he said on television that he hugged the nurses in Dallas and felt perfectly safe. Just saying…..
Really, incompetence in hospitals, nah!!!! Its everywhere and in everything!
Arrest Barack Obama for Treason. Fire every one of his Appointees. Shred his Executive Orders.
No Damn Democrats.
The CDC and Barack Obama are not following any safety protocols that exist for Bio Hazards, if you saw the movie the Andromeda Strain, you know protocols have been in place for a long time.
Why shouldn’t the CDC be as horribly corrupt and misguided as every other Federal Agency working for Joe Biden and Barack Obama ?
