On Sunday night, a man showed up at a hospital in Massachusetts with symptoms associated with Ebola. He told staff that he had been Liberia but they aren't considering him someone at high-risk. When he arrived at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates Braintree with headache and muscle aches, he was transported to Beth Israel. Just as a precaution they put him in isolation and have tested him for the virus. They should know the results within the next 24 to 48 hours. Hospital officials, intelligently, ordered anyone who was going to have contact with the patient to wear masks and hazmat suits.

Yet another possible Ebola scare, but it looks like the hospital staff are handling this in a very safe and professional manner. I can only hope that the results come back negative. I think it would add relief to an already stressful national situation. I am glad that hospital officials are taking every case very seriously and running tests even when they think the patient is not infected.

ReplyDeleteWow... well it's good to know that they have a heads up to wear masks, albeit it's sad that it's beginning to spread to other areas of the US.
