Commutes will be affected. Good evening. Im jan jeffcoat. New frightening estimates from the front lines of ebola. Im derek mcginty. The World Health Organization warning today there could be as many as 10,000 new brandnew ebola cases per week by the end of next month. About. These grim figures come as the department of Homeland Security and wallace dulles and newark plan to begin taking temperatures of passengers from the hardest hit west african countries. The World Health Organization director says if the world response is not stepped up in 60 days, a lot more people will die and healthcare workers will be stretched even further. The centers for Disease Control and prevention announced today 76 Staff Members at Texas Health Presbyterian are now being monitored for ebola. Until now the cdc had been monitoring less than 50 people. The 76 workers either had direct contact with Thomas Eric Duncan or involved in his care before or after his death. Nina pham, the dallas nurse who contracted ebola from duncan released a Statement Today saying, im doing well and want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers. The infected nurse in dallas raises a lot of concerns for medical professionals who potentially are putting their lives at risk every time they treat someone infected with ebola. Does it become too dangerous to treat a critical patient and what Legal Protections do doctors and nurses have . Wusa9s jim osman picks up that part of the story. All of us know doctors and nurses are in the business of saving lives, but who is in charge of protecting theirs at a time like this . More and more questions are being raised about guarding the people there to help us. The dallas hospital workers who may have had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan who died from ebola at the hospital are being monitored as the cdc announces enhanced steps to guard the health of hospital workers including putting in place a site manager. That individual makes sure that the personal protective equipment is put on correctly and taken off correctly. In fact, in our work stopping ebola in africa this is the single most important position to protect health workers. Reporter dr. Anthony fauci with the national substitutes of health told wusa9 tonight its institutes of health told wusa9 tonight its a much needed upgrade by the cdc. While there been much talk about the items medical professionals wear to protect themselves and how to put them on and remove, theres an ethics discussions that impacts those healthcare workers as well since an ebola patient at a critical stage becomes all that more dangerous. If someone is in a very advanced stage and is vomiting, diarrhea, going into organ system failure, the material, the body fluid, has a very, very high content of virus. Reporter which means at some point do you cease certain care to protect the nurses and doctors . Thats a tough discussion. Thats a very tough discussion whenever youre talking about the ethics of how much you do or do not do for a very sick patient. Thats always something thats a sensitive issue that needs to be addressed according to the best ethical principles. Reporter ethical issues d. C. Attorney scott oswalt says that cross over into the protection of workers who are employed in high risk positions that might come in contact with an ebola patient. Doctors have a separate oath to their patient. They have a patient doctor responsibility, but workers in high risk areas as an example have a right not only to refuse to work, but to insist that the employer provide them with certain kinds of protection. Reporter as it comes to lawsuits say in the dallas case, possible legal claims could be brought by the ebola patient and hospital workers. However, texas tort reform measures may make it difficult to prevail. Basically texas law says hospital staff would have to knowingly put people at extreme risk. Jim osman, wusa9.
