Who To Blame When You Get Ebola: A CDC Guide For Healthcare Workers
(by a funny Doc)
http://thehappyhospitalist.blogspot.com/2014/10/Ebola-CDC-Flowchart-Blames-Nurses.html
Nurses are used to getting blamed for everything. In fact, most nursing programs teach nurses how to take one for the team when bad things happen. Getting blamed for spreading Ebola is naturally accepted by most nurses as business as usual.
"After speaking with representatives from the American Nurses Association, everyone agreed blaming nurses for spreading Ebola was just the easiest thing to do," said Jason Fenster, a CDC spokesman who blamed his nurse last year for undercooked eggs while hospitalized for an undisclosed infection contracted at a CDC laboratory.
"I've been in the hospital CEO business for 30 years. Whenever bad things happen in a hospital setting, we can count on at least one nurse to take the fall. In fact, I'm so confident that a nurse is always at fault, we built an entire section into our hospital rules and regulations titled 'How To Blame a Nurse For Anything Bad That Could Lead To A Lawsuit," said Jed Brainer, CEO of Texas Presbyterian Hospital.

So after the nurse walks around the Ebola isolation room walking on spittle, goobers, spilled urine, poop dribbles and sprays of vomit, she will remove her gown and mask and then enter your sick room wearing the same shoes. CDC does not recommend the bleach spray down you see in Africa.Interesting article, it seems the CDC and American Hospital Association want to go with minimum protection, and healthcare workers want the maximum.
