One of the nurses who was present during the treatment of “patient zero” at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas has come forward with allegations of serious administrative failures that put workers at risk. Briana Aguirre, who has worked at the hospital for three years, says she and other staff members were not given proper instructions about how to handle Ebola, and were also given faulty equipment that didn’t adequately cover their skin.
The protective suits provided by Texas Health Presbyterian did not cover nurses’ necks, for instance, and when they brought this up with their superiors, they were told to simply patch the holes with tape. Nurse Nina Pham, who is currently being treated for Ebola, was one of the workers who was told to take medical tape and apply it to the space between her gown and head covering.
