Russian Scientist dies after sticking herself with ebola

[CrazyHelloDeli]

Scary!

Man, that has got to be a horrible way to go. Imagine the panic youd feel after you stuck yourself with the worlds deadliest virus.

 

[jagec]

yikes. Still, how do you stick yourself with it? All I know is that if I had a syringe with ebola in it, I'd have a cap on the needle and/or puncture-proof gloves.

[RaynorWolfcastle]

deleted, you're right that was insensitive

 

[SuperTool]

This would be funny if noone died.

 

[Balt]

Ugh, this woman died a horrible, horrible death while she was trying to help develop a vaccine for ebola and you jackasses crack jokes.

 

[CrazyHelloDeli]

Its freaky that theyre doing this type of research in Russia. I doubt the security for these diseases is that good, a terrorist could probably get these bugs pretty easy.

 

[TitanDiddly]

:Q

 

[StageLeft]

Yeah that would suck.

Security for serious bio agents in russia is like a padlock and a drunk guard.

Agreed.

Just a sample of the depraved individuals that frequent internet boards.

Get a life people.

It sounds just as likely she was involved in using ebola to create biological weapons. This is sad, but no sadder IMO than some benighted Zairean dying from it - at least she had the training to be careful. Still, that is clearly a dreadful way to die, and it would be doubly scary being quarantined like that, for the protection of others.

Only had one clean stick as a medic, knock on wood. (clean stick is a freshly uncapped needle, never contaminated)

On a call about 6 years ago my partner was giving a glucogon injection to a patient, he grasped the patients thigh and plunged the needle in. Right as he was doing that the patient convulsed and my partner pushed the needle through the patients thigh and it came out the other side into his finger. (went in at an odd angle from the convulsion, not like it went from front to back...)

The patient tested positive for Hepatitis C.

Not sure what happened to him because I moved to a new city, but even the most careful person can get stuck for the strangest reasons.

:roll: Pot to kettle....

"It's sad and somewhat frightening," said Mr. Fredeking, "that Vector didn't inform the W.H.O. or even its own lab directors that the accident had occurred in time for us to offer help."

Gee, over 20 days to report that, no, that's not fishy at ALL...

The first public mention of the accident was over the weekend on Pro-Med, the informal Internet reporting and discussion network of doctors and other health care professionals, which posted the Vector account of the laboratory accident on its Web site (www.promedmail.org).

The first public mention is on an internet forum? Yea... I would definatly trust this Vector company.

It's sad and all, but people die daily. Mabey spend some time reading between the lines.

if that ever happened to me, i'd get someone to lethally inject me so I can exit in a nonpainful way

Sorry you feel all butthurt since you feel as if that were directed towards you. Now why would you feel that way?

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

That's awful! My god, her heart must have stopped once she realized what had happened.

No you wouldn't. The deadliest strain, Ebola Zaire is about 90% lethal. The lesser strains are only fatal about 50% of the time. You'd be crying like a baby begging to live, you would not off yourself with a 50/50 shot of recovery.

 

Sorry you feel all butthurt since you feel as if that were directed towards you. Now why would you feel that way?

I don't. Just making a general observation.

 

[tweakmm]

That's one hell of an "ooops".

My Brother-in-law is a ambulance tech. One day he went to a accident where they guy needed a shot. While pulling it out the ambulance swerved and he ended up sticking himself with he already used needle.

He got lucky. it was rumored that the guy had aids (they live in a really small town of less then 500 people) but the test came back clean.

Take a good look in the mirror before making another of your misguided "observations".

It really is more than likely that I have done more in the past five years for the betterment of mankind than you will accomplish in your entire life.

So again you can take your "observation" and stick it sharply up your ass.

How's the weather up on there on your high horse?
