Healthcare workers must accept responsibility for the choices they make

especially when they have the knowledge in their respective field and what is at stake.

What this also shows is that not even the professionals known the extent of how Ebola is being spread precisely. Lots of educated guesses at this point, which is why people are disappointed with the healthcare workers infected making a series of poor choices.

I knew what I needed to do to protect myself, there was always a remote chance of getting a needlestick, etc. I was aware of it and did what I could to prevent mistakes.

train you? Or maybe even the President? Or the entire CDC staff?

Or would you recognize that perhaps you had breached technique in spite of your best efforts and training?

Because I am hearing that the nurse ebola cases are entirely the fault of Obama, Frieden, and CDC as a whole (not from you).

If an accident happened, if I messed up somehow, I would have taken responsibility for it. Our entire society is afflicted with a lack of personal responsibility; that's why everyone's losing their minds over this.
