Why no news on Amber Vinson's status?

What happened to Nina Pham's boyfriend? He was admitted for monitoring.

Maybe she has no symptoms at all, and it would appear to be a hoax.

Do we even have original photos of them to compare to?

Amber, according to Fox news last night, is using her HIPPA privacy thing. I think she's pissed that people are accusing her of being selfish after behaving like Typhoid Mary.
What she did was reprehensible. I can't imagine deliberately exposing one person, let alone hundreds as she has, to a deadly virus, just so I can get my wedding gown. She can blame the CDC and others all she wants, but she knew that she was exposed and in turn, she knew her actions would expose others as well.

Privacy? The public should be informed as to the general condition her status tho, Right?

If you had contact with that someone who requested privacy, would you not be able to know their condition?

Silence adds to the drama.

I think he's in quarantine.
Notice there's no mention of Amber's fiancé. At all. Weird huh?

Her behavior was as illogical as Obama's is to not ban flights from West Africa. So I can't help wondering if some of these people are being mind-controlled to go out and about, so as to spread the virus around.

As far as I am concerned she falls under the category of domestic terrorist and doesn't get privacy.

It is crazy that we are hearing nothing of her, and only the Douglases through their preacher. And they don't want to be knows as his family and have a stigma about them when they are released back into public. Some wonder if they aren't at the empty base where Pham's dog is being taken care of.


I would imaging that pretty much everyone would like to tear into Amber for knowing she had symptoms and flew anyway and subjected many to the germs she was carrying. I imaging it may not be safe for her.

Where as, another good point made, Pham went in immediately as soon as she had symptoms. Good for her.

Ebola Amber is the next Typhoid Mary

I bet Ninas dog is a lab rat at this point

Hey, there are actually pics of him. You can follow him on a Twitter feed. I forgot the name though. He looks happy and healthy, even if he's surrounded by moonsuits.

Fox News just said they are about to give an update on Ambers status....

And nothing. She has demanded details of her condition remain private. The reporter stated they received information from a source she was in "stable" condition. And CDC believes she was sick as early as the flight leaving Dallas for Cleveland.

Give the girl a break. She was probably terrified. And I'd be willing to bet we don't know the full story.

No I won't. She is a health care PROFESSIONAL. She knew the consequences of her actions when she got on a plane SICK, when she tried on wedding gowns SICK, etc. She watched Thomas. Duncan die and she had zero concern for the people around her being subjected to the same fate because of her irresponsibility.

Like I said, I don't believe we know the full story.

Nope. We know enough.

She did wrong.

I agree with this observation. There is a media blackout on these patients and it will get worse.

All hell is breaking loose.

Good luck.

Lets post this info here…

It is illegal for them to release any info, only the families or patient can release info.

Meaning if I get Ebola, I can tell the hospital to say nothing and no one will ever hear about it, me or my name or condition ever.

Also if a person is released to another hospital, they can not disclose it, they can only say the patient was released. So when you hear "released" it does not necessarily mean they went home.


Remember all this as you read through the media BS, what they report vs. what the words mean are two different things. No one would know Duncan was even dead if the family said the info was not allowed to be released.



Meaning we have zero clue how many may be sick.


I suggest reading this link very close. [link to www.rsfh.com]

Snip1; Condition and Location of Patients: What You May Release and to Whom

Inquiries that identify the patient by name Information about the patient’s general condition and location of an inpatient, outpatient or emergency department patient may be released only if the inquiry specifically identifies the patient by name. No information may be given if a request does not include a specific patient's name or if the patient requests that the information not be released. This includes inquiries from the press.


Snip2; Question: For deceased patients, can the hospital provide the media with the date and time of death, as recorded on the death certificate?


No. The hospital may not disclose a patient’s date or time of death to the media. A hospital may disclose to the media only that information maintained in the hospital directory, which is a patient’s name, location in the hospital and general condition, if the media asks for the patient by name. No other information may be provided without individual authorization. In the case of a deceased patient, authorization must be obtained from a personal representative of the deceased.

Snip3; Question: If the hospital can say that someone has been “treated and released” without getting permission, may the hospital disclose when the patient was released or to where the patient was released?

No.


Snip4; Do not release information that could embarrass or endanger patients Spokespersons should not report any information that may embarrass a patient….

Are you willing to contemplate the idea of her being mind-controlled to spread the virus?

I guess not......must be a case of black & white for you.

I keep hearing Pham is fair,and Vinson is stable.

The pRoblem is "stable"is not a legitimate term hospitals use to describe someone's condition.

They use the condition, like "good and stable" or "serious and stable" adding the term stable to the condition.

Describing her as stable, with no actual condition, makes me think she is Wide than what they are saying

Here are the real conditions...

*Good: Vital signs such as pulse, temperature and blood pressure are stable and within normal limits. The patient is conscious and comfortable. His outlook for recovery is good or excellent.

* Fair (also satisfactory or stable): Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. The patient is conscious, but he is uncomfortable or may have minor complications. His outlook is favorable.

* Serious (also poor or guarded): The patient is acutely ill with questionable outlook. Vital signs may be unstable or not within normal limits. A chance for improved outlook.

* Critical: Questionable outlook. Vital signs are unstable or not within normal limits. There are major complications. Death may be imminent.

She might not make it.

Any news on Ambers condition?
