No. Apparently not.
But I felt my radar go up after the lead physician at Emory University seemed to me to be laying some kind of ground work when he spoke at the press conference celebrating the Texas nurse being free of the Ebola virus.
I really, really, admire the work done there and am very proud of their efforts. He explained that they had used some methods; dialysis and breathing assistance considered "extreme" and " not needed" by the CDC and that they had worked.
Afterward CNN's Sanjay Gupta commented that he did not know this. But today Sanjay Gupta commented that he did not feel a quarantine was necessary. I am just a little skeptical of everyone's decisions on this issue with so little experience, even though at this point we are doing "quite well" in saving five lives out of six.. A medical issue is now a political football and as I said before, it would have been better handled by a medical person in my opinion...but there are medical people and medical people. Few "experts" exist on this disease.
Kaci Hickox has once again been on the news saying that she planned to ignore the quarantine. She may be skilled in medicine, but has very little skill in social interaction or teaching or being diplomatic or making her point. She isn't doing any good for Doctors Without Borders in my view. By the way the decisions made by Doctors Without Borders are NOT made in the U.S. It is a French Organization.
I really am turned off by Kaci Hickox...
