The First Responders: Doctors of the ER Tell the Truth about Ebola in a Special Broadcast

RadioMD and The American College of Emergency Physicians spotlight the Ebola virus global crisis for a full hour on “ER101.”

ROLLING MEADOWS, IL, USA, October 28, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- People are hearing changing and sometimes conflicting news reports on the Ebola Virus with most stories being either politically driven or with talking points from the White House, RadioMD offers its listeners the most recent and accurate update on the Ebola crisis reported "from the trenches" and the doctors in the emergency rooms. The October 24th edition of "ER101: The 411 on 911" with host Dr. Leigh Vinocur, spokesperson for the American College of Emergency Physicians, was dedicated to the confusing and scary topic of Ebola. Five ON-DEMAND segments are now available at RadioMD.com.

The Ebola Virus has taken the lives of 4,877 in West Africa, 1 in the US, 1 in Germany and 2 in Spain. Dr. Vinocur welcomed two well-respected doctors to the Ebola information hour, Dr. Rade B. Vukmir and Dr. David C. Pigott, to discuss this global crisis. One of the topics covered on the show included a segment entitled “Ebola in West Africa, What can be Done?” The doctors shared how we’ve lost focus on the fact the thousands of people are losing their lives in West Africa and that there are steps we should be taking to gain control over the deadly virus. Dr. Vukmir and Dr. Pigott also discusses the travel ban controversy, why the World Health Organization (WHO) is against it and poses the question, “Is a Travel Ban a Help or Hinder?”

The panel of doctors also discussed how the Emergency Room Departments are the front lines of all medical emergencies yet honestly asked if they are really prepared to handle Ebola? No stones were left unturned as the ER doctors tackled additional topics such as “What is the real risk of Ebola to the public?” and “Ebola 101: what we may have missed about the virus.” Both segments were “facts only” driven and offered a real medical perspective on what we as a country are up against without utilizing the “scare tactics” or “vague information” platforms found in some media today.
