They complained about people at my hospital feeling uncomfortable caring for Ebola patients and that these same people complained that they have not received proper training. I asked them if they thought our hospital was properly prepared to take care of such patients, and the response was: "Doctors should know how to take care of infections" and "They have a system in place". Since I am a doctor at this hospital and know of no system, I asked - How do we isolate such patients from the rest of the hospital? Where is my decontamination area? Will I put on a Hazmat suit in a busy hallway and take off the dirty suit and stuff it into a trashcan?<br /><br />Here is the response from my infection control department representative : "No you will put on this suit and remove it inside the patient's room." We are talking about a relatively small room which is meant for use by a single patient and when you open the door, you will already be 5 feet from the patient's bed.
