At this point I think all lawsuits are tacky. It will be much harder to fight the disease while fighting lawsuits and obsessing over every failed step. People are human and NO ONE meant to make it worse. When you notice a problem, fix the problem. That is all that is humanly possible in a case like this.
WTF?
If the have workers’ comp in Texas, then this is workplace matter. If there’s no exposure, what are her damages? You can’t sue somebody cuz you got scared you might get something. Now if she caught it, that would be a workers’ compensation claim. Or in Texas, not?
You’re not serious? This wasn’t a ‘mistake’.
I mentioned the lawyers just this morning - and here they come. But in this case I cannot blame the nurse, and here is why:
People are human and NO ONE meant to make it worse. When you notice a problem, fix the problem.
What would a lowly nurse have to do to convince big bosses from the CDC that they are wrong? Those bosses issued a defective PPE to her and then insisted that it's perfectly safe. When it was proven that it wasn't safe, those same bosses chose to blame the workers.
Some people just aren't reasonable. They have to be forced to act reasonably - and we have courts to do just that. It may well be that this nurse had no other way to make changes in the procedure. If nothing is done, it only means that the CDC is going to kill medical workers - and none of the CDC managers will be indicted for murder.
Being a Nurse, she noticed the gap under her neck, why did she follow through with care for the patient? I would of found something to cover my neck, wrapped another gown around my neck and used medical tape....
Interesting you sign up this week to give cover to this administration and how they are handling this situation.
I detest BS lawsuits as much as any patriot, but at a minimum the CDC's actions have been criminally negligent. On the other hand I find it hard to believe that our Fed Gov could be so totally incompetent. The whole thing is one big cluster ----. This could be part the Muzzie buttboy's end game plan for the one world caliphate.
sWe are now facing a perfect storm. World economy on verge of collapse...radical Muslims with chemical and nuke weapons on the march...Russia and China rattling sabers...Ebola and other disease imported by our government...racial hatred fomented by the Obama administration. What a better way to destroy Western civilization...wipe out hundreds of millions of people, wipe out 100s of trillions in debt..and install a new government over all that's left.
“NO ONE meant to make it worse”
Are you crazy? Are you not watching what’s happening?
At the very best this is about “never let a crisis go to waste,” at worst it’s something far more sinister.
Sue the government and anyone else who follows their advice to bring ebola into our hospitals and our communities.
Take a good strong dose of your own medicine, you Marxist idiots.
You’re right, mere civil lawsuits are tacky. Criminal charges are in order.
This is conspiracy, and the criminals must be prosecuted.
Government worker/ operative?
Well, bless your sweet heart, dear!
I will assume that you mean well, but find your comments ingenuous, ignorant, and serving only the Obama spin.
I also noticed your sign-up date. Nice try, but you have instantly failed the Freeper “smell-test”.
You think lawsuits are tacky? Wait til they start walking off the job because they don’t have adequate PPE!
Lawsuits might be the best way to get Obama and the CDC to ban travel from the affected western African countries.
CDC, states, and hospitals have had 40 years to prepare for a Levev 4 pathogen outbreak with appropriate facilities, equipment and training. It became very obvious that the risks greatly increased last Spring. This is gross incompetence and negligence. I’m surprised the OSHA ambulances haven’t shown up yet. Defending against lawsuits isn’t helpful right now, but maybe legal action will snap everybody out of their lethargy.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Bye, 'Penny'.
