“American Ebola Patient Arrives in US”

James Woods (the actor) tweeted: “Sounds like the first line in a Stephen King novel.”

Or a Michael Crichton book...

My daughter is a med student at Emory. She said that the medical professionals there are decidedly nonplussed by Dr. Brantley's arrival and stay. In their eyes, the area around Grady and Emory is replete with TB and other serious diseases and the CDC is packed with some of the scariest viruses known to man. Security at Emory is high and these people know what they are doing.

That the social media is all in a tizzy doesn't surprise me. Too bad they cant get up in arms about stuff that actually matters, such as the president systematically unraveling the Constitution. Nope, lets go ape over professionals handling a medical case in the way they were trained.

Yes, Christ paid that price for us, and many Christians feel they have an obligation to live that way for others.

“I noticed them walking over potentially sharp rocks wearing the easily damaged protective suits.”

Where did you see such a picture? The photo accompanying this article showed the doctor and an escort standing on concrete behind the ambulance that was parked alongside a walkway that is blacktop.

Beside the driveway and walkway there is a space apparently containing ‘potentially sharp rocks.’ There is no indication whatsoever that the doctor and his escort walked on those ‘potentially sharp rocks’ and unless the said doctor and his escort are as dumb as a box of rocks, one might surmise they walked, instead, on the concrete and blacktop.

The ebola threat is serious enough, there is no need to make up “stuff” to advance hysteria.

I’m sure you meant to include risking the lives of others with a deadly level 4 pathogen in that ‘live that way for others’ bit. Right?

The point is he was walking.

Have you ever seen a medivac’d person allowed to ambulate THEMSELVES anywhere into a hospital?

If you could transfer him on a gurney with ZERO risk of stepping on a sharp rock and puncturing the containment suit why would you allow him to walk?

Something is not adding up.

His condition has been described as grave. Yet he steps down from the ambulance with minimal assist from just one aide. He then walks to the doorway being led by his hands, but no support. No evidence of oxygen. His gait is slow, but steady.

Me thinks he might be a decoy.

Based on the video at the link the article title is complete bullshit.

I copped a ride to the ER once after a fall (I was pg). Even though I was totally ambulatory I wasn’t given a choice in the matter. Legal reasons and such I was told.

Not just that, I guess. A patient on a gurney is a complete unit of treatment. All his belongings are there; all the paperwork; all the IV, all the sensors. And it's all mobile, so the patient can be moved between stations - in a small surgery center, for example, from the admission nurse to the anesthesiologist, then to the operating room, then to the recovery room, then to release. If anything goes wrong the patient can be moved, on the same gurney, to a different specialist or to a different facility - regardless of whether the patient is awake or not (and that can change in an instant.)

Last night on Fox, the procedure at Emory was explained how the two patients will be transported in an isolation unit within the aircraft and kept in it until admitted into the hospital. What the H happened that he was allowed to WALK in?

They can keep whatever car holding the doctor in from being t-boned.

Him bleeding all over the street is like peeling open an atom bomb and letting people walk away with pieces of it.

It’s interesting that Aids has killed 36 million people although it we only started counting in 1981, and it killed 1.6 million in 2012, yet the panic and hysteria died out long ago.

Ebola has killed fewer than 2,000 since 1976.

A bit shaky on his feet, but otherwise he didn't seem nearly as bad as I pictured him. I understand he was given a transfusion of blood from a young boy that survived the virus hoping for some antibodies to help him fight it. It will be interesting to know if the transfusion helped or the experimental vial of serum given to the American Nurse. One would think scientists are working overtime to come up with something as this could get all 1918 nasty in no time.

Geeze. The film is shot from up on the roof and you can’t even tell who it is. It could have been another tech for all we know.
