Apparently 13% of ebola patients do *not* present with fever - which is scary, bc this means that people truly must be tuned in to their body's other less-obvious symptoms with ebola....and being "run down" would be one of those symptoms. This is where I think the doctor should've applied his knowledge of the larger symptom picture. |
agree! I don't understand why professionals who know the publics vulnerability to hysteria and fear right now keep making these same errors, its almost as if they don't realize they are the people we look up to in situations like this, if nothing else they have a responsibility to be a good example for the people....
