I had a boss who told me to do things that I knew, from ten years of prior experience, would not work.
I said, "Okay, I don't think this will work, but I'm always willing to learn new methods and we'll try it your way."
It didn't work. It didn't work in exactly the manner I expected and predicted that it wouldn't work.
I was the one who got blamed for it not working.
I can't even complain about that. The moment I accepted responsibility for carrying out the plan, KNOWING it wasn't possible to do it, it absolutely became my fault.
When someone tells you to do something you know can't be done, say so. Say "This cannot be achieved in the manner you want done, and I refuse to accept responsibility for attempting something I know cannot be done. If you insist, I will end my employment here, so that you can find somebody who believes in your vision and is willing to give it an honest shot."
The replacement won't succeed either, but they might successfully scam the boss into looking at a shiny object over there for a while.
The level of stupidity on Dr LaRochelle and his nurse wife is astonishing. Dodged a bullet once and decided to roll the dice again. Really? And exposing their own kids to it all? This has crossed the line of sacrificing and doing good into being retarded. So yes, slow learners indeed. Hope? I hear hope is worth shit going up against Ebola.
Aesop, that’s from Uganda. Patient 3 looks like a classic Ebola patient, down to attending a DRC funeral. Uganda says initial testing negative, but we’ll see.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

From local rumors in Omaha, UNMC BL-IV is trying. With a real world Ebola patient. Let us hope this is only rumor.
I had a boss who was crazy. He'd tell me to do things that I knew were impossible. Oddly, I managed to do nearly all of them.
That was transformational. I learned the biggest limit on me, was me.

@steveo
Spot the slow learner in this picture...
They must have had so much fun the first time around that they wanted to expose the whole family to Ebola a second time.

Okay.
I give it 14 days before they have 5-20 new cases from their Patient Zero & Family.
We'll see.
