“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.
Ebola IS a virus similar to the flu virus. A contagious person who sneezes will cause it to be airborne. An uncovered sneeze can send water vapor/particles up to 20′ . Some linger in the air,some fall onto surfaces.
Iwould imagine that by now she is unemployed. Lately in this country if you speak the truth you most likely will suffer for it.
there goes her job !!
Thank you for sharing this Ms Brianna Aguirre !!!!
Nurses need to be responsible for themselves and the public sector. This is not a pass the buck situation. They are supposed to be educated. What else is being spread around due to lack of proper care
nurses and doctors are not the only hospital personnel that come in contact with the patient. Lab technicians,dietary persons,housekeeping,who handled and clean the room and toilet, question,how thus these personnel being told to handle working with a contagious disease patient on isolation?
It wouldn,t even be here if not for Obummer
We are in Trouble
Sad
Great!! :/
I was happy to see the Hospital (VP) step up and apologize for their short comings. We all know that mistakes will happen in any situation but they failed to acknowledge the outcome of their actions. I hope all hospitals will learn from this.
