The Minister of Health of the Community of Madrid, Francisco Javier Rodriguez,
Teresa blamed Romero,
the nursing assistant infected with Ebola , to
hide their GP and the other people who cared to entry on Monday at the
Alcorcón Hospital who treated Manuel García and Miguel Pajares Viejo,
the two priests repatriated from Africa for treatment in Spain (the first
died on 12 August and the second on 25 September). "Today has
recognized an error undress costume. Denied all this time systematically
concealed as he had treated a patient with Ebola", has accused
Rodriguez.
Subsequently, Rodriguez qualified. "I do not take responsibility.
Involuntarily has had an accident, got enough with what you have." "I
do not think it's negligence, just nodded instinctively that neither
appreciated," he added.
The number of people affected increases by the hour. If in the morning
there was talk of 54 people, the health minister has extended the fork in
the afternoon between "60 or 82". Specifically would be 84, of which 30
would be doctors and clinician, reported Fernando Simon, director of the
Center for Coordination and the Ministry of Health Alerts.
Besides the husband of Rosemary, the medical center staff who attended
and Alcorcón Hospital, where he remains stable, are also under
surveillance two hairdressers, according to the counselor. Romero came
on 30 September to their GP. Community sources say that that day went
to the hairdresser to the depilaran.
When unwell, the patient called on 2 October (last Thursday) in the
service of occupational risk prevention Hospital Carlos III following
telephone instructions of the physician who attended him. Romero said
he had fever since the 29th According to the Ministry of Health, told all
that had taken care of the above cases of Ebola, without going "fluids in
contact with the patient." "He acknowledged that he had gone to her
primary physician with fever and hid it was a nurse who had worked with
Ebola patients," said Rodriguez.
"Day 3 [Romero] called in response to an earlier call of Madrid Health
Service. Reported that it had 36.7 degrees. Said also have fatigue and
back pain," said the regional director. "[The previous days] was advised
to take temperature twice daily and, passing from 38.6 degrees, liaise
with health authorities. At no time had fevers greater than 38.6 degrees
and case was considered low risk. (...) This is from my harvest, but do
not rule out that we may have been lying, "said the Minister in the
Assembly of Madrid, which has given explanations of the crisis at the
request of Ebola UPyD.
Rodriguez has said that Romero even denied problems with equipment
and insulation when it was learned that he had participated in the care
of Garcia Viejo. At four in the night of Sunday to Monday called the
preventive service with fever of 37.2 degrees. It was decided to send an
ambulance to your home (did not meet the requirements of security
protocol for these cases). In Hospital Alcorcón he called it low risk. After
further tests, and in the afternoon it was confirmed positive for Ebola.
The infected twice entered the room where the priest Manuel García
Viejo was isolated. At no time had direct contact with patient fluids. The
September 25th changed diapers and sheets, a process in which the
patient was immobilized. The next day I was in charge of the collection
and disposal of vomiting sick.
Rodriguez has denied that health professionals who attended the two
missionaries not count with sufficient training. In the first case, that of
Miguel Pajares, there were 25 nurses, including 15 volunteers (10 of La
Paz). There were also 18 volunteer assistants during treatment of the
deceased Spanish priests. Health estimated six laboratory workers and
health employees 54 people attended and García Pajares Viejo.
"A high degree of training when they have filed voluntary. People will
not be forced "has settled the head of Madrid's health against criticism
over the lack of training of professionals and labor unions. "All cases
were considered low-risk because they came with the right equipment to
the rooms. No respondents had contact with fluids, all said they had
acted properly," insisted Rodriguez. The Minister has talked of
"harassment" by the criticism.
The Minister has argued that has been respected "scrupulously" security
protocol. Even so, it has been in favor of revision. Rodriguez has insisted
that the plan of action in a crisis of Ebola "is posted on the intranet for
all hospitals and health centers." Professionals deny.
"Professionals are the same as were in the Carlos III, and the same who
took part in the three cases of Ebola. As auxiliary, which have been
voluntary, "insisted Rodriguez. In this sense, Rodriguez stressed that
this is "a new disease like AIDS 35 years ago."
About the
reviews sector workers who report that health is taught to
wear the suit to prevent contagion in 20 minutes, Rodriguez has denied
the mayor: "If the first thing that comes, the driver of the ambulance, it
knows how to , hospital staff as well. "
The Minister has flatly denied that Romero found out she had contracted
Ebola website by THE COUNTRY: "That's sick that he learned from the
newspapers is a lie: he personally told her and her husband."
Counselor Statements have been received with astonishment among the
nurses. "We will not allow the criminalization professionals. Companion
This trance is in the worst possible life as a result of caring for a patient
to have played," said Máximo González Jurado, president of the General
Nursing Council .. "If Health have scientific evidence that indeed there
has been such a mistake that effect and make public the evidence as
soon as possible, but if not, make an exercise of responsibility and
consistency and not "crucified" to a professional in these moments is
struggling to survive a lethal infection, a risk assumed by his duty and
vocation of caring for a patient who needed his care. " González Jurado
says they are seeking first-hand information to prove that "there has
been and there is great risk of becoming infected professionals." "We
believe that in the coming days we will inform rather than several rules
have been violated," he said
