potential Ebola case at cabell hospital in Huntington - goherd24herdfans - 10-25-2014 09:12 PM
ER has been taped off and quarantined no one in and out until tests are completed. Really hope this ends up being a false case but damn... if it isnt that hits close to home.

I actually just verified the story from a friend that works in the ER there. Nobody is coming in and nobody is allowed to leave right now. People are freaking out and having anxiety attacks. Id be pissed too if I went to the ER and got Ebola.

There is no linkm just happened. Got a friend there now who sent me a pic of the doors being shut etc. I would never post some bull**** about something like this.

Most likely this is just a precaution.. Ebola has similar symptoms to a litany list of other illnesses and right now its better be safe then sorry.. if someone is coming in displaying symptoms that could potentially be Ebola they are going to quarantine and go through the process to cover all their basis.. Until we get word that the outbreak is over this is how it is going to be.

They dont even know what to do.... they took everyones info and contact info and the nurses are telling everyone "its probably not ebola" and letting them go. Cdc getting everyones info just in case... she said its chaos and clear they hve no idea what to do.
Edit. Nevermind. Not lettinf them go. ER is still locked down.

Normally i wouldnt blame them. I mean, ebola in america? Thats nuts. But gven the recent events of..... ebola in anerica lol, i would think every hospital in the nation would brief their staff and be prepared.

this has been happening more frequently than reported
I have read several credible stories just like this on other different forums
people at the ER or even the walk in clinic and suddenly told they have to stay in the room for the next 15-20 minutes and then when they leave everything in one area is being heavily scrubbed down
and as for preparation it is so expensive to really properly prepare for even starting to handle a patient to even then transfer them that it is difficult to really be prepared
and then it takes a lot of equipment and training to do so
remember many of those that are coming back to the USA are TRAINED Drs and nurses that have been specifically going to work with the disease and are prepared for it....and yet they are still catching it

Getting the feeling my countless hours of watching The Walking Dead may finally pay off.
RE: potential Ebola case at cabell hospital in Huntington - HerdAlum83 - 10-25-2014 10:26 PM
Just got a text from my cousin who is a nurse there.. The quarantine has been lifted.. No Ebola

I need to retread the stand
RE: potential Ebola case at cabell hospital in Huntington - MU42 - 10-25-2014 10:33 PM
I thought it took like a week to decide whether it was Ebola or not, yet CHH did it in 4 hours.

Maybe it turned out to be a broken arm.
RE: potential Ebola case at cabell hospital in Huntington - thunder1114 - 10-25-2014 10:51 PM
Had the same scare at Ft. Benning last week. It was a false alarm. Better to be overly cautious.

Oh they are, are they? The one doc in NY did...how many other medical professionals have come back to the US with it so far?

It's happened in El Paso too.
Hospitals are only operating on the side of caution. I wouldn't be too worried at this point.

Professionals catching it, are doing so as a result of not following the simplest of routine protocols which they were trained for.

Simply put:
Man went into ER with flu-like symptoms. Had flown to US from Nigeria 30 days ago. That's beyond the incubation period. However the hospital decided to play it safe and implement the protocol from the CDC. They'll keep monitoring the man, but they do not think he has Ebola. They were just working out of an abundance of caution.
