7:03 am
cruise ship full of passengers is on edge this morning. that, as both of the nurses have been transferred to other facilities. nurse nina pham, seen arriving in maryland overnight, getting helped off a medical transport plane and into a waiting ambulance. the final leg of her journey to the national institutes of health facility for treatment. >> we're really proud of you. >> reporter: just before she left, first look inside an isolation unit at first health presbyterian dallas, releasing this video of pham talking to her medical team. pham, wiping away tears. >> we love you, nina. >> reporter: her colleagues chanted and held signs as her ambulance left the dallas hospital. #presbyproud and #supportthe scrub. amber vinson's travels has the cdc scram bebbling to identify
7:04 am
may have come in contact with her. they are not sure when she first showed signs of ebola and it may have been earlier than they thought. >> 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 on frontier airlines to plan her wedding with family over the long weekend. authorities are now trying to find everyone who was 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 shopped at this bridal store on saturday is also being asked to call a hotline. it's unclear to get a clear timeline from vinson herself because she's sick. anyone from the state department who may have had contact with specimens from thomas eric duncan is now on a carnival magic cruise ship near belize.
7:05 am
the government saying she is very low risk for ebola but just to be safe she is isolating herself in a cabin. 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 precisely 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, despite 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, there will not be a large outbreak in the u.s. >> reporter: now, there is some promising news in this story. remember, it's 21 days that it usually takes to come down with ebola. the person on that cruise ship,
7:06 am
she has been 19 days away from thomas eric duncan. it's very unlikely she would get sick. also, all his family and friends who have been monitored their window of 21 days will expire on sunday. matt and natalie, it's looking like none of them have gotten sick so far and it is looking good for them to be out of that window very soon. >> kate snow, thank you very much. all of the talk of ebola has a lot of people on edge, fears that are, in most cases, unfounded. peter alexander has that part of the story. peter, good morning. >> reporter: natalie, good morning to you. the clinical center at nih, where nina pham is being treated this morning. medical experts here and across the country say that 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. when does caution become hysteria? the ohio bridal shop that dallas
7:07 am
nurse amber vinson visited saturday now closed, nearby elementary school shut down because a mom spent time with vinson, even though she had no time spent with her daughter. and flu-like symptoms was enough for officials to briefly evacuate and cordon off. >> reporter: until now, reserved for the movies, not real life. twitter users had their own diagnosis for that man with clipboard. >> humans are stupid. >> unless clipboard man is chuck norris he may want to strap on a biohazard suit. one specially trained person not in a suit, keeping his distance. still, not take negative chances, homemade hazmat suit
7:08 am
being donned at an airport. >> children and teens are walking in here, talking ebola and saying, i'm wondering, why is ebola on your mind? after speaking to these kids, they're telling me, i just saw it on the tv. >> reporter: comedians have mocked the media coverage. >> and the inevtabiliitability of us getting it. run! >> it's caused a lot of people to be confused with nowhere, really, to turn. >> reporter: experts say there is some good that come out of these fears right now, if it leads americans to focus on the things that we can control, like washing our hands frequently and covering when we cough. all of it could make a big difference as we head into flu season. >> definitely. peter alexander, thank you so much. meantime, texas health presbyterian hospital is now responding to our exclusive interview with a nurse there who claims the hospital wasn't ready
7:09 am
to handle ebola patients. while they admit mistakes, they say the hospital remains safe. nurse briana aguirre describes a hospital that was woefully unprepared to deal with ebola. >> they should have known that it was getting out of hand. 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 get the nurses the education and training. anyone. we're not handling it well. and i watched them violate basic principles of nursing care. >> late thursday night, texas health presbyterian responded, issuing a statement, addressing aguirre's concerns and how she expressed them saying 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 aguirre
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 ? >> when i started expressing that concern, the infectious disease nurse at that time said, we know. we know that that's an issue and our stance on that is that we are taking tape and we are taking -- at that time it was four or five pieces of tape, one-inch tape, and we are closing that gap in the suit. >> the hospital acknowledged staff members concerns over the suits but said they followed cdc guidelines and standards. "we have conducted interviews with well over 100 caregivers involved in mr. duncan's care, some multiple times. the consistent and universal theme we have heard is that all caregivers reported being consistently compliant with utilizing the appropriate ppe in
7:11 am
accordance with the guidelines from the cdc. the cdc guidelines 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 gown. because our nurses continued to be concerned, particularly about removing the tape, we ordered medical shrouds. the statement also points out that the hospital has two different ways employees can anonymously 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, 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. >> you would hope so, definitely. this sunday on "meet the press," moderator chuck todd conducts an ebola summit on the crisis. check your local listings for that. monster storms churning off the east and west coast. coverage with you beginning in bermuda with dylan dreyer where hurricane gonzalo is bearing down. good morning to you, dylan. >> good morning, natalie. i'm on the western side of bermuda, which means hurricane gonzalo will pass 20 to 50 miles from where i'm standing as a category 3 hurricane. we are just a speck here in the atlantic ocean. there are some natural defenses this island has. there's a reef that surrounds the island that protects from that dangerous storm surge you so often see with these hurricanes. also, most of the island is fairly high in elevation. so, while we will see some flooding along the immediate coastline, inland areas shouldn't get flooded out. that being said, residents are
7:13 am
cautiously optimistic, putting a lot of faith in the way things are built here. they are built with solid cement. they are up to hurricane code. and while they are boarding up, they're just really going to hunker down as we go into the afternoon. one area of concern is the causeway that connects to the airport. the last time a category 3 hurricane hit this island was hurricane fabian in 2003, it washed out that causeway. there's a replacement one there now. we'll see how it holds up against this storm. conditions are expected to deteriorate from here on out. the height of the storm expected this afternoon and this evening. natalie? >> dylan dreyer, thanks. the big island of hawaii today, residents there brace for tropical storm ana. hallie jackson is in kona. hallie, 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 a few hours, because even though tropical storm ana is tracking further south than expected,
7:14 am
hawaii will still feel an impact. prolonged rain, potential for flash flooding, mud slides and definitely very high and dangerous surf. schools on the big island are closed for the day. and folks are getting ready. one local store ran out of bottled water. people are filling up their propane tanks in case of extended power outages. that's what they saw on this island just a couple of months ago. very unusual to have two named storms threaten this island in such a short period of time. people here are hoping for the best but getting ready for the worst. matt? >> hallie jackson in kona this morning. tracking gonzalo and ana. >> we are tracking gonzal o first. 250 miles south-southwest of bermuda. 140-mile-per-hour winds moving north-northeast at 50 miles per hour. look at these water temperatures, 80 and 90 degree
7:15 am
water temperatures. some drier air off to the west. we're hoping that gets in. we're expecting tonight, maybe tomorrow, it will go by the island as a category 3 storm. there is some concern it's going to go right over bermuda and continue on out as a category 2 storm. this is going to be a major, major catastrophe for bermuda. we go out into the pacific, tropical storm ana. 340 miles south of hilo. water temperatures very warm. 80s and 90s. it looks like it's going to stay to the south. yesterday we thought it might make a hook toward honolulu. it looks like it will stay south and west of the islands. that's better news for those folks, much better news. and what we're watching for gonzalo, this will be a very, very catastrophic storm. we're really worried about loss of life in this one. >> al roker, thank you very much. hunter biden, the youngest son of the vice president, is apologizing this morning, after it was revealed he has been
7:16 am
kicked out of the navy for testing positive for cocaine. kelly o'donnell has more on that. good morning. >> 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 learned a lot about leadership by listening to my dad. >> reporter: he had barely begun as a naval reserve 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. i respect the navy's decision.
7:17 am
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 beau biden, who had been deployed to 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 over 40, joined the u.s. navy, about to be sworn in as an officer, hunter biden. >> senior officials tell us this is pretty typical, that hunter biden was treated just like any sailor, junior officer or enlisted, who is discharged for this kind of test. they simply don't talk about it. hunter biden had been commissioned as an enson and his job was working in public affairs. matt? >> kelly o'donnell, thank you very much. tamron is here with more drama in the sentencing of oscar
7:18 am
pistorius. >> yes. good morning, everyone. prosecutors are calling for stiff prison time for track star oscar pistorius. state prosecutor jerry nail said in his terms the minimum term that society will be happy with is ten years. last month, pistorius was convicted of killing girlfriend reeva steenkamp. the sentencing hearing resumes next tuesday. more photos from north korea of kim jong un, who had been out of sight until this week. broadcasting dozens of photos of kim, using a cane, inspecting a newly built housing development. it's not clear when his visit took place. earlier this week, he was seen for the first time since early september. federal investigators are trying to find out what caused a frightening crash in northwest arkansas. a freight train collided thursday with another train full of tourists on a fall foliage tour in the ozarks. at least five people were critically hurt there.
7:19 am

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 signing that the anesthesia you're getting, the medicine
7:35 am
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, do they see the level of
7:36 am
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

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 sentence for young people.

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? >> yes. >> your life's work now will be
8:40 am
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. guys, great to see you.

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 postponed. i realize it probably made it
