Ok...why haven't they released her name and flight?
In the latest "how bloody selfish can one person be" segment of Non Fluffy, we find this beastly creature who had no problem putting others at risk, and her idiot doctor who didn't make sure she couldn't fly. Time to make this public so that everyone exposed to the bitch can sue her sorry ass.
TB Patient's Trip To Bay Area Causes Alarm - News Story - KTVU San Francisco:
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A Santa Clara County woman was hospitalized in isolation after becoming infected with a dangerous strain of tuberculosis and then taking a plane flight to return to the Bay Area.
Health officials said the 30-year-old woman was being treated for a form of TB at Stanford Hospital that is considered a public health problem because it is difficult to treat and has a higher mortality rate than conventional TB.
"The patient is in isolation, and we're taking all necessary precautions -- both to protect her and the public and our employees," Shelley Hebert, executive director for public affairs for Stanford Hospital & Clinics, told the San Jose Mercury News.
The woman was overseas when she flew back to the United States earlier this month.
Dr. Marty Fenstersheib, Santa Clara County's public health officer, did not know how the woman could have ended up on an international flight given she was diagnosed with TB while overseas and told her strain was probably resistant to multiple drugs.
"If people were here in our county and we know they're infectious, we would not allow them to fly anywhere," he told the paper. "She was aware of it. Her doctor was aware of her diagnosis. And then she got on a plane and came here. But there's no question she had symptoms."
Health officials also contacted the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who will contact and do a follow-up investigation with passengers on the woman's flight.
"Three or four rows in front or back of where she was sitting," on the plane will be contacted, according to Fenstershieb.
Stanford officials were also contacting those who may have come in contact with the woman when she was in the emergency room. Hebert said that was fewer than 10 people.
"The risk to those people is very low and there is no risk to the public," Hebert said.
The woman's name or the flight she was on has not been released.
