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.

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.

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.
