Scared medical staff in Madrid refused to treat possible Ebola patients on Thursday for fear of becoming infected themselves, as the condition of the Spanish nurse who contracted the virus deteriorated further.

The Carlos III hospital, where seven quarantined cases are being treated, has had to draft in extra staff after nurses there refused to turn up for shifts.

“There are members of staff who are cancelling their contracts so that they don’t have to enter [rooms with possible Ebola patients],” said Elvira Gonzalez of the SAE nurses union

Although no formal absentee figures have been released, a number of nurses and health technicians have formally resigned from their posts, while others have made excuses to avoid going into work.

“A lot of people are calling in sick,” one member of staff told El Pais newspaper. “They are saying they have period pains, or that they feel dizzy. People are anxious and can’t be expected to work like that.”

and the African medical staff are on strike for higher pay.

That's why the big lie about it NOT being airborne has got to be maintained...once they find out the stuff is floating around the hospital can you say DESERTION of all Medical staff !

They are going to have to address this with reason. They are talking down to the public like we are stupid.

They need to tell the truth and then make sure that those strong enough to deal with It have the right equipment to do so. Because you don't want weak people dealing with this anyway. You need intelligent, confident ( not over confident) meticulous people dealing with these patients.

and they need more than surgical mask. The surgical mask thin is really getting on my nerves. Im so upset about the surgical mask thing I am considering calling the CDC today.

The Spanish nurse isn't deteriorating.  Reports for the last several days say she is "serious, but improving"... Sitting up and talking.

That good news.

Perhaps she is Rh negative. There's a little conspiracy going around that Rh neg people don't die from it.

They also say transfusion is the main treatment that works...I hope it does and big pharma doesn't make the "killing" they are greedy for.
