7:02 am
>> long time coming. it all starts tuesday in kansas city. it's going to be an exciting one. >> home field advantage to the kansas city royals. we'll have more on that later, but let's get right to the top story on a friday morning. the latest on this ebola crisis. nina pham arrived at national institutes of health facility in maryland overnight. >> her infected co-worker may have shown symptoms earlier than originally believed. so the cdc is now adding hundreds of names to its list of people potentially exposed to her. >> and as we mentioned, a co-worker who handled the specimen from an ebola patient and is being monitored for signs of infection is actually on a cruise ship right now. officials are now working to pick up that woman at sea and bring her home. nbc correspondent kate snow is in dallas, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt, the ripple effect from the very first patient from flew from liberia to dallas now extended to two airline flights, and this

7:04 am
on thursday, a centers for disease control doctor said they kbaent sure when she first showed symptoms and it may have been earlier than they thought. >> more information that's come through just recently would say that we can't rule out the fact that she might have had the start of her illness on friday. >> reporter: that's one week ago, the day she flew from dallas to cleveland from frontier airlines to plan her wedding with family. authorities are trying to find everyone on that flight in addition to tracking down passengers on her flight from cleveland, back to dallas on monday. when vinson told the cdc she was running a fever. anyone who shomed that the bridal store where vinson spent time last saturday is also being asked to call a special hotline. dr. braden says its been difficult to get a clear timeline from vinson herself because she's sick. overnight, news about a lab supervisor at the hospital who the u.s. state department says may have had contact with clinical specimen from thomas eric duncan and is now on a
7:05 am
carnival cruise ship. she is not sick. she's at very low risk for ebola, just to be safe, she remains isolated in a cabin. an official from the dallas hospital testified remotely at a hearing on capitol hill. apologizing for mistakes and vowing to find out how the two nurses became infected. >> we know that they are both extremely skilled nurses, and were using full protective measures under the cdc protocols. so we don't yet know how or when they were infected. but it's clear there was an exposure somewhere, some time. >> reporter: at the same hearing, the director of the cdc telling lawmakers that disspite missteps, he's confident that the american public is safe. >> there's zero doubt in my mind that barring a mutation, which changes it, which we don't think is likely, they will not be a large outbreak in the u.s. >> reporter: health care workers who came into contact with duncan today are being asked to sign an agreement that they will not get on a plane, that they won't be in public areas here in dallas.
7:06 am
ebola symptoms, remember normally manifest within 21 days. important to note that the woman has been symptom-free for 19 days already and the family and friends of duncan, they'll be up with their 21 day window this sunday. so that's some good news from here. matt, natalie, back to you. >> that is encouraging news, kate snow in dallas this morning, kate, thank you very much. >> of course all of the talk of ebola has a lot of people on edge, fears that are in most cases unfounded. nbc's peter alexander has that part of the story, peter, good morning. >> reporter: natalie, good morning, this is the clinical center, this is where nina pham is being treated this morning. medical experts here and kreesz the country say it is extremely difficult for ebola to be passed from one person to another, but that hasn't stopped our fear of ebola from spreading. it's a nationwide outbreak, ebola fear infecting much of america, but when does caution become hysteria?
7:07 am
the ohio bridal shop that amber vinson now closed. a nearby elementary school shut down simply because a student's mom spent time with vinson. even though vinson had no contact with the woman's daughter. and near san diego, just word that a student's sister was hospitalized with flu-like symptoms was enough for officials to evacuate and briefly cordon off a college building. >> what if we run out of bags, two days ago. >> reporter: they are fueled by images fueled for the movies, not real life. twitter users had their own diagnosis for the man without a clipboard, the only one who escorted vinson aboard her medical flight. he may want to the strap on a hazmat suit. phoenix air said suits can block your field of vision and hearing which is why it's part of their protocol to have one specially trained person not in a suit keeping his distance. a passenger donning this homemade hazmat suit at the
7:08 am
washington airport. a virginia psychologist says his patients have expressed fears about the virus. >> i'm finding that children and teens are walking in and talking about ebola and saying, i'm wondering why is ebola on your mind. and after speaking to these kids, right away they tell me, i just saw it on the tv. >> reporter: comedians have mocked the media coverage. >> and the inevitability of all of using it now, run. >> reporter: we have anxiety. >> there is a lot of doomsday processing going on about ebola, and that's caused a lot of people to be confused with, with nowhere really to turn. >> reporter: the experts say there is some good that comes out of these fears right now, if it leaves american to focus on the things that we can control like washing our hands and covering when we cough. all of it could make a big difference as we head into flu. >> season. definitely, thanks so much. in the meantime, texas health presbyterian hospital is
7:09 am
exponding to -- responding to our interview with a nurse that are says they weren't ready for ebola patients. the hospital remains safe. good morning, today exclusive -- >> on thursday, this nurse described the hospital that she says was woefully unprepared to deal with ebola. >> they should have known that it was getting out of hand, but they should have called in more help. even to make a public plea and say, help us. you know, help us get the supplies we need. help us to get the nurses the education and training, we're not handling it well. and i watched some basic prince. s of nurse and care. >> late thursday night, the hospital responded issuing a statement addressing her concerns, and how she expressed them. saying in part, it is incorrect and disturbing to many of our staff to hear media exaggerations about their commitment to the organization they love. the hospital also addressed specific claims made by her
7:10 am
concerning the lack of proper protective gear, the hospital provided during thomas eric duncan's care. is it true that some of the nurses were wrapping tape around their throats trying to cover that space that was left exposed? >> well, when i, when i started expressing that concern, the infeshs disease nurse at that time said we know, we know that that's an issue, and our, our stance on that is that we are taking tape and we are taking, at that time it was four or five pieces of one inch tape, and we are closing that gap. >> the hospital acknowledged staff members concerns over the suits, but says they followed cdc guidelines and standards. we have conducted interviews with well over 100 care givers involved in mr. duncan's care. some multiple times. the consistent and universal theme we have heard is that all care givers reported being consistently compliant with
7:11 am
utilizing the appropriate ppe in accord dance with the guidances from the cdc. they changed frequently, and those changes were frustrating to them and to management. they added it was the cdc who recommended how to close the exposed gap in the suits. two on-site cdc members approved and recommended that they pinch and tape the necks of the gowns. because they continued to be concerned, particularly about removing the tape, we ordered medical shrouds. the statement points out that the hospital has two different ways they can raise issues about safety concerns, but says, no one did that, adding third parties who don't know our hospital, our employees, and who were not present when the events occurred are seeking to exploit a national crisis by inserting themselves into an already challenging situation. so clearly a lot of back and forth there now. but the bottom line is hopefully they're getting the oversight they need now if they were to have to deal with another ebola
7:12 am
patient. >> yeah, you would hope so, defini definitely. >> and this sunday, chuck todd convenes a summit on the ebola crisis. check your local listings for that. now the twin monster storms that are now churning off both the east and west coast. we have both covered beginning in bermuda, hurricane gonzalo is bearing down, good morning to you dylan. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. you know, hurricane gonzalo is going to pass about 20 to 50 miles just to the west of where i'm standing right now, as a category three hurricane. we are such a tiebny little -- tiny little speck out here in the atlantic, but this island had natural defenses. there's a reef than surrounds the island that will prevent against a massive storm surge we so often see out of these hurricanes, and in addition to that, the elevation of bermuda is fairly high. while we will see coastal flooding, we're not going to see the effects of major flooding further inland. now residents are cautiously optimistic, they are buildings
7:13 am
are made for these hurricanes. they're built out of solid cement to so they can handle those winds, and we are though keeping an eye on the fact that the causeway out to the airport, was destroyed during hurricane saban, sergeant three storm that hit in 2003. we'll see how the replacement bridge holds up. that is our lifeline to the airport. hurricane winds are expected later on this afternoon. the height of the storm should hit between 5:00 and 8:00, we'll see how this tiny island holds up. so that's the latest near bermuda, natalie. >> all right. dylan driver in bermuda, thanks. meantime evacuation shelters are being opened in hawaii today. residents brace for ana. halle jackson is in kona, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt, right now this is the calm before the storm. the state's emergency operation center is set to open in just a few hours because even though tropical storm ana is tracking
7:14 am
further h than expected, hawaii will still feel an impact we're talk about progress longed rain, potential for flash flooding, mud slides, and definitely some very high and dangerous surf. schools here on the big island are closed for the day and folks all over are getting ready. one local store ran out of bottled water, people are filling up tanks in case of extended power outages. that's what they saw during tropical storm iselle. unusual to have two name storms in such a short period of time. they're hoping for the best, but getting ready for the worst, matt. >> halle jackson on the big island of hawaii in kona, thank you very much. meanwhile tracking both ana and gonzalo, it's time. >> gonzalo, this is the one we're really, really concerned about. it is a according to 4 storm, right now pushing its way toward bermuda. currently 250 mimes south, southwest, 130 mile per hour winds, it's moving north, northeast at 15 miles per hour. and look at these water temperatures.
7:15 am
80 and 90 degree water temperatures. there is some drier air off to the west. we expect tonight into tomorrow, it's still going to go by the island as a category three storm, and there is some concern that it is going to go right over bermuda, and then continue on out as a category two storm, but this is going to be a major, major catastrophe for bermuda. then we go out into the pacific tropical storm ana, 340 miles south, southeast of hilo. 60 mile per hour winds, 80s and 90s, water temperature, it looks like it's going to stay to the south, and yesterday we thought it might make a hook towards honolulu. looks like it'll stay south and west of the islands, so that's better news for those folks, much better news than in fact what we're watching for gonzalo. this is going to be a very, very catastrophic storm we're really worried about loss of life in this one. >> thank you very much. hunter biden, the youngest son of the vice president is apologizing this morning after it was revealed that he's been
7:16 am
kicked out of the navy for testing positive for cocaine. nbc's kelly o'donnell has more, hi, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, matt. the office of the vice president is not talking about this this morning. the sudden dismissal from the navy of hunter biden. less than two years after his military career was just getting started. the vice president's youngest son, a yale educated lawyer and married father of three. >> i lernled a lot about leadership through listening to my dad. >> reporter: 44-year-old hunter biden ha h barely begun as an officer when his service was abruptly, yet quietly cut short. senior u.s. officials tell nbc news, hunter biden had tested positive for cocaine, in 2013. and was discharged in february of this year. hunter biden said in a statement, it was the honor of my life to serve in the u.s. navy, and i deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge.
7:17 am
i respect the navy's decision. with the love and support of my family, i'm moving forward. biden works for an investment firm and is chairman of the world food program. >> you have about 870 million people that go to bed hungry every single night. >> reporter: here with brother bo biden who was in iraq with the army national guard. last year the vice president proudly teased that hunter had actually needed an age waiver to serve. >> my son is over 40, just joined the united states navy, is about to be sworn in as an officer, hunter biden. >> reporter: navy officials aren't commenting either. senior officials tell us that this is pretty typical, that hunter biden was treated just like any sailor, junior officer or enlisted, who was discharged for this kind of test, they timplly don't talk about it. hunter biden was commissioned and his job was working in public affairs. matt. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you very much. cameron's here with more drama for oscar pistorius. >> yes indeed.
7:18 am

7:29 am
7:30 am
this is an nbc news special report. here's chuck todd. >> and good morning, we've got some breaking news on how the obama administration plans to handle what has become a political crisis here, and that is the handling of the ebola outbreak in africa and therefore, the ebola patients and how ebola has spread some panic here in the united states. after hinting that he would contemplate appointing what was being dubbed as an ebola czar, he is doing that, he is named ron clan. a former chief of staff to both vice president biden and gore that he will lead the government's effort to be the
7:31 am
lead's spokesperson, the point person on information regarding all things ebola for a little bit more on this decision, the timing of the decision, let's go to our senior white house corresponden correspondent. chris, obviously the president hinted at this last night, they quickly made a decision, ron clehane, a household name in washington, but not somebody with a deep knowledge, say in the medical world. >> reporter: no, but somebody who has olgs skills the white house would say. somebody who has been chief of white house staff who might succeed, rahm e manual. he went to the private sector, his claim to hollywood fame was that he played by kevin spacey in recount which was the story of the 2000 election. the president said look, this is an all government effort, we have all the different agencies, but maybe it makes since for one person to coordinate it all. there was a push by a number of
7:32 am
people most recently, democrats bill nelson from florida, but there softball a political component -- obviously is a political component to this as well. congressional democrats who found this is weighing down on their campaigns and they wanted the president to take some action. so it came very quickly after he gave that hint late last night, chuck. >> thanks very much. again, president obama's appointing long time government and political veteran ron clehane to be the point person, the ebola czar. a point person for an information and organization necessarily though, not necessarily the government spokesperson on this, we will have more coverage, of course, of all this and more of the ebola announcement later tonight on the nbc nightly news with brian williams. i'm chuck todd, we'll see you later. to an
7:33 am
outpatient clinic in manhattan followed by a raspy throat and stomach reflux. during the exam the oxygen supply to rivers' brain dropped, eventually leading to the comedi comedian's death. there is no conclusion of wrong doing in the rivers' autopsy. the death resulted from a predictable complication of medical therapy. >> whenever we do a procedure on a patient that's older, they're more susceptible to having complications. however, we do ensure across the country, you know, millions of procedures a year to patients that are in their 80s and they do well. >> reporter: in a tweet, melissa rivers wrote, in response to new york city's medical examiner's report, we continue to be saddened by our tragic loss. no further comment at this time. the outpatient clinic did not return calls for comment.
7:34 am
yorkville endoscopy said no longer medical director and no longer performing procedures. circumstances into the comedian's death, the report has yet to be released. what the medical examiner does not answer is what caused the drop of oxygen to rivers' brain. death in a procedure like this is rare. one in 10,000 people die each year from the procedure. matt? >> thank you very much. dr. natalie azar is a clinical professor at languaone medical center. in layman's terms there's a lack of oxygen to the brain. they called it a predictable complication. what does that mean? >> you know when you go in for a procedure and sign consent? >> right. >> you have to read the fine lines but you're actually
7:35 am
signing that the anesthesia you're getting, the medicine that's causing you to go to sleep, the sedative hypnotic that you get, in this case, propofol, can cause death. we know this. it's not actually shocking that a medicine like this can have this complication. >> are we talking about perhaps there was a too high of dosage? >> potentially. >> or it is more complicated to use propofol in an older patient? >> all very good questions. it happens to be the most commonly used anesthetic right now. it leaves people not feeling so hungover, it's quick on, quick off. the issue with propofol is either if the rate of infusion is too high, if the dose is too high, perhaps, it can cause -- it's known to cause apnea, which means you can stop breathing. it's known to cause a drop in blood pressure. >> i want to make sure i understand. is the possibility that this was a medical error still open? >> do they take blood samples,
7:36 am
do they see the level of propofol in her blood? was it dosed appropriately for someone of her age? it seems to me that what they've determine sd simply she stopped breathing -- again, a known complication of propofol and by the time she was resuscitated her brain had not received oxygenated blood for a period of time. and at that point it was irreversible damage to her brain. >> such a tragedy. >> it's a lesson to the viewers. again, we have to take something home from this. this was maybe not necessarily an elective procedure. she was doing an endoscopy to look for acid reflux, because of her hoarseness. any time you undergo a surgical procedure, as minor as this may have seemed, complications like this can happen. >> that's why, as you said earlier, read the fine print. >> very much and be very thoughtful of undergoing elective procedures. >> dr. natalie azar, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. let's get a check of the
7:37 am

>> thank you, matt. great to be here. we're returning to denver this week. we're meeting a surgeon who credits his remarkable success in the operating room to lessons that he learned on the field. >> don't snap it until i say omaha. next word after omaha, snap the ball. i love football because it teaches you lessons. as a boy, i spent ten years playing organized football. you talk about figuratively having to pick yourself up off the ground and in football that happens a lot. you find yourself using those lessons later in life. >> reporter: dr. ron hugate drew on those lessons of perseverance as an army reservist, saving lives in iraq and afghanistan and now serves as the defacto quarterback for one of the top cancer treatment teams in denver. >> bone cancers as early as 20 years ago were almost a death
8:36 am
sentence for young people. survival rate maybe 20%. for children that present to our clinic, survival is almost 90%. it's one of the highest survival rates ever been reported in the literature. >> reporter: the statistics are remarkable, but it's the human side that sets dr. hugate apart, like in 2011 when he arranged a presurgery surprise for a boy who dreamed of flying army helicopters. >> just put my mind at ease. >> this is awesome. >> meant a lot. it meant that he cared about me and i'm not just another patient to him. >> i think dr. hugate was heaven sent. we owe a lot to him. he saved our son's life. >> when we go into the o.r., it's my team against a cancer. we have to have people who are good at what they do and have to be able to mesh together. that's a lesson you learn on the football field. >> are you coming to the football game tomorrow? >> where are you playing? >> city park.
8:37 am
it's an annual tradition. even though i didn't play college or nfl, all those lessons we learned back then really translate into everything that i do today. >> you line up right and go deep. >> football teaches you how to prepare. >> we'll go down into the muscle a centimeter or so and take the whole thing out. >> it teaches you about team work. it's on-the-job training, on the field with your buddies or teammates. there's no way i would have any degree of success without the lessons i learned from football. >> and dr. ron hugate is with us now. doctor, good morning. good to see you. >> good morning. >> i was reading this script from josh last night. the thank jumped out at me is you're not just operating on anyone. you're operating on young people. >> right. >> they've got their whole lives ahead of them. they want to accomplish so many things. because of that, you seem to have taken this beyond the doctor/patient relationship. >> we really do. it's one thing for a 90-year-old to get cancer. it's tragic. but it's another thing all together when a 12-year-old gets
8:38 am
cancer or 8-year-old. lots of life ahead of them. lots of hopes and dreams and so we take it very seriously. we are very aggressive about the way we treat cancer, especially in young people, who have so much to live for. >> we saw hunter. you were mentioning hunter baker, all these kids with whom you form these bonds, it's very clear. you talked about your team against the cancer. we actually are going to pull a bit of a misdirection play here. >> since you're a football player. >> and wanted to give a couple people a special opportunity to say thank you. >> okay. >> so with no further ado, if they could please join us. hunter baker. >> how are you? >> nice to meet you. >> how are you? >> come on over. sit with us. >> jason, good to see you. glad you guys could make it. wow! >> welcome. to see that look on his face and on your face, i guess, says it all. hunter, i want to start with you. we saw what he arranged for you.
8:39 am
but what does he mean for you in your life? >> well, it was just amazing what he did for me, you know. he means so much to me. he's not just a doctor. he's a friend. and every time we -- i go in for a doctor visit, we talk, you know. >> talk about race cars. >> yeah. talk about cars. >> jason, he operated on your leg. >> yes. >> you had a tumor on your leg. what did the kind of care you got from dr. hugate mean to you? >> i can't say how much it did for me. i mean, i thought i was never really going to walk again possibly and now i keep getting complaints that i'm doing too much, he did too good of a job. >> you saved their limbs. you saved their lives and, obviously, gave them lives as well. in fact, he motivated you, yeah, later in life?
8:40 am
>> yes. >> your life's work now will be because of him? >> certainly. i mean, i was a little lost in high school, what i wanted to do. and dr. hugate was a mechanical engineer as an undergraduate and i was always fascinated with the implant that he put in me. and i started studying biomedical engineering. >> that's great. >> i'm glad you're both here to tell your stories. i'm glad you're here to have them here. thank you so much. >> congratulations. >> we also want to mention, sunday the deadline to share the stories we've been hearing every friday for your chance to win a trip to super bowl xlix. head to today.com to enter. >> by the way, little bit of a promo here. we might as well take the opportunity. broncos take on the san francisco 49ers sunday night. nbc sports coverage begins 7:00 eastern time with football night in america. josh, always good to have you here. thank you very much.

9:05 am
behavior because the child started to cry and said the pediatrician -- her pediatrician must be appalled that she was exposing the baby to so many germs in court. for the record, she did ask the pediatrician and the pediatrician said the baby is 4 weeks old. don't let anybody touch the baby but you should be fine. the baby is going to be okay. she had nowhere to go, nobody she could turn to. she runs her own practice. and no other attorneys could take over the hearing for her. what do you do in that situation? that's a tough call. >> she said, can i postpone. the judge refused. >> right. >> so what else is she to do? i mean, that's crazy. >> yeah. and it's not like you can drop a 4-week-old off at daycare. >> most don't take -- >> they don't take 4-week-olds. she said if she could have done that -- >> it's not like just showed up with the baby saying oh, well. she tried to get the case
9:06 am
postponed. i realize it probably made it difficult for other parties but this is the ongoing battle that moms have -- parents. >> sure. >> parents have, trying to get child care. and i think that people are not understanding on the other side of the fence, as in the case of this judge. >> the judge sees an attorney mom showing up with a baby in a baby bjorn, you say, listen. >> postpone. >> she's not making an excuse here. it's very clear, she has -- >> put yourself in my shoes, judge. what would you want someone to do for you? >> i admire the woman's commitment to her job. >> right. >> these guys needed her to be there. >> getting it done. judge! >> we're all in agreement. >> the woman attorney has filed a complaint against the sxwrunlg can't comment on the case because there's a complaint filed. >> way to go, judge. nice. yeah. right? >> that's the i told you look? listen, i told you. >> come see me in my court. >> oh! >> the al roker court.
