The CDC's big mistake re: Vinson's flight was its reaction to the media

46. Like I said everyone is getting too defensive over this

There are defenders on both sides. The CDC has it's back up against the wall due to all the non stop politicizing of this as well as the nurses. I heard a lady call in from Dallas who said she knew the hospital very well and would never go back there. Went so far as to say she consider having a tattoo saying if I am sick don't take me there. She said a lot, but that is not important. I read an article where an anonymous official said "we didn't actually tell her to fly, but we didn't tell her not to... so it is on us not the nurse". When I am feeling even slightly sick I don't kiss my family members and try to stay out of their vicinity. I personally would not have put my family at that kind of risk. The nurse that originally took care of Duncan sent him home knowing he came from Liberia. A nurse in the hospital supposedly wanted him to be isolated but lost the argument to administrators. So you see these are just a sampling of an endless round of finger pointing, blaming, should haves, could haves, etc. What is the point?

In my little opinion, the effort should be making the health care industry a better place for all involved. I am not saying you do not have a point, but there seems to more important issues than who is right and who is wrong. Big issues like getting the nurses unionized so they have a say in their future and the care that is given rather than being able to be fired because you disagree with some administrator.

Hey, this is just my two cents. It doesn't necessarily mean anything more than anyone else.
