dr. mark siegel. dr. siegel, what's the latest from there? >> sean, this is the situation here. the dr. came into the united states it looks like about six days ago. and he was feeling okay until about two days ago. then he started feeling lethargic and he stayed in his apartment. he developed a fever this morning to 103. he called 911. the fire department has these hazard technical units that can actually be test ed. and they will not let them be used for these possible ebola patients unless they've had 80 hours of this training. they came and brought him down to bellevue hospital. he was whisked into an isolation unit in the same area where bellevue treats tuberculosis patients. bellevue has a long history of treating tuberculosis, hiv/aids, so this is a very good place for this. let's hope we see a better outcome here than we saw in dallas. unfortunately, sean, he exposed many people over the past several days although when he was not symptomatic the chances of there being a problem or somebody getting sick is a lot ó less. but still theñj contact tracing that's going to have to go o

dr. mark siegel. good morning. what do we know about the different context of people and how they are being monitored? >> until october 12th he was caring for patients with ebola putting his life on the line trying to help people. he didn't have any symptoms at that point. he was in new york city feeling we well. october 21st he first felt tired and fatigued. he traveled to the bowling alley and took the cab was jogging. on the 23rd he felt the first symptoms of fever called 911 and the unit called him to bellevue hospital. he already had exposed many people on the subway as well as in the bowling alley. >> the president obama put the 21 day quarantine in place would this have ever happened? >> it is not mandatory. i believe there should be a mandatory quarantine of all healthcare workers who are taking care of ebola patients before ever entering the united states. that wouldn't have been mandatory quarantine if workers follow it we are concerned of course about the exposures his fiancee in bellevue well. >> there

dr. mark siegel and dr. gill mobley with us. you went to hartsfield airport in atlanta, full bioprotection gear, goggles, written on the back the cdc is lying. do you think this is far worse than the government is telling us? >> either they're lying, sean, or grossly incompetent. numbers have shown, statistics, that the chances were overwhelmingly that we would be importing ebola to the united states by the end of october. yet the president was saying there's a very small chance, just a week before the first patient came. and it just makes sense that as a million people are in quarantine on the continent of africa right now for ebola and 10,000 people leave that continent a day, the whole world will be seated eventually with this. and my concern is once it gets into guatemala city and mexico city, the cdc is not sending planes in to take care of it. >> do you think america could be overwhelmed with ebola? >> absolutely. >> you believe that? >> yes, sir. it's going to consume every third world country on the planet. they have dep

dr. mark siegel, one of the leading experts in the field of infectious diseases, member of the fox news medicaleam. dr. siegel, good have you here. this is quite a change in the matter of days. we were told no more than 18 people were in contact. now that number has ballooned to 100. the centers for disease control, other officials, as we reported here, not giving the public a lot of information. the man's name, his photograph, none of this was put out. lot of people are worried. perhaps needlessly but nonetheless worried because the way in which our government and agencies at various levels have responded to the public's right to know. >> i agree with that statement, and something that casey just said has something bearing on this, airports are the places where people have to be screened properly. and we're not even taking temperatures at airports in the united states, only in west africa. i don't know why we're not using the infrared guns to check everybody's fever, everybody's temperature coming from west africa. lou: it's obtrusive. >> absolutely. we have to have quarantine agents but relyi

dr. mark siegel shows us how one medical center is preparing for the alert. >> reporter: hospitals are now on high alert as ebola hit -- we went behind the scenes at my own hospital, beyond the doctor's basic training, dr. michael phillips says communication among health care workers is a key element. >> there is always goings to be emerging path though agains, and enif we're alert to it, -- we need to have multiple areas of protection, where it's not just that triage nurse asking the questions, but everybody in the system. >> reporter: if a patient with flu like symptoms recently traveled from west after karks the question of ebola is raised. dr. phillips responded to concerns that a patient may not fully disclose their risk factors. >> the person may not give you the epidemiological history, the travel history, but we do know what the symptoms are, hopefully we have an idea or a suspicion of their exposures and that alone should trigger further investigation. >> reporter: if a possibility of exposure is determined, the patient is isolated, staff dons gowns, gloves and masks to protect th

dr. mark siegel who's written a provocative column about this very issue. thanks for joining us.s about the column. is this over panicking by the american people? >> well, for sure fear is a huge problem here. and panic is a huge problem. there's a problem with our perception because for example the patient in dallas, the unfortunate patient who died in dallas, what we could learn from that if 100 people were exposed, no one has gotten sick yet. which makes the point ebola isn't that contagious. we should learn that. but to your question, eric, what is the government doing and is it doing enough? ij it depends on the agency. i like what the nih is doing developing a vaccine. i think that's great. i don't like the department of defense didn't get the antiviral drug zmap out into production where we could actually use it or study it sufficiently. i don't like what the dallas health department did. they fumbled the ball many times down there with this case. i like what the centers for disease control is doing with something called contact tracing where they look to see who's got it,

dr. mark siegel. how extraordinary. i mean, a couple things jumped out at me.ously she's overwhelmed. we talk about antiseptically. it's got to make you so scared to have somebody wear that to take care of you. >> not a bit of skin was exposed. that's one of the issues of the original treatment of duncan people were walking in there with their neck uncovered. when that happens, i think people out there need to realize the sicker you are with ebola, the more secretions you have. so all this talk about traveling on the plane which is inexcusable, still, it's the sicker you are. that's why health care workers get it. because when you're in a room with a patient with ebola that has vomit and diarrhea and blood, they have a lot of it in their blood. >> let's say nina pham, say she did it perfectly thanks to the guidelines and having them enforced, they're saying more and more think she may have gotten in the early stages when it was undetected, he came into the hospital with vomiting and d diarrhea not diagnosed with ebola yet. >> that's true, megyn. >> that's why p

dr. mark siegel, dr. nina radcliff. saudi arabia's banned visitors from ebola-ravaged nations.rance is not flying to these nations. great britain's not flying to these nations. have we made a mistake by allowing people to come in from these countries? >> we have to be realistic. this virus i our world today. we have to understand we need to deal with it when it comes to our borders. that's what we're doing. we have a coordinated response by the centers for disease control. >> but why did great britain and france do this? listen, sean, the numbers are still pretty small. but we also have to manage the fear factor here. let me explain what i mean by that. first thing we should be doing is taking temperatures on people coming here from west africa. >> they did. >> but they're taking temperatures of people when they leave west africa. i want them to use that gun infrared temperatures when people come in here. >> why not let them in until they solve their problems? >> let me address that. the numbers, just the pure numbers, don't allow for that because their numbers are small. but a

dr. mark siegel. but now we turn to washington where the intelligence community is now striking back against president obama after being blamed for underestimming the threat posed by ice. new information about the security breach at the white house after lawmakers grilled the secret service director at a house hearing earlier today. fox's own ed henry standing by at the white house. he has the details on both these breaking stories. >> sean, good to see you. right, intelligence officials not happy about the fact that in that "60 minutes" interview sunday night the president suggested that james clapper and by extension the rest of the intelligence community had sort of screwed this up and had underestimated the threat from isis and overestimated the ability of the iraqi army to push back against these terrorists. that's why a scathing article in "the new york times" where senior intelligence officials basically said no, we were setting off alarm bells, putting off flares, the president, other official

dr. mark siegel is here. >>> and take a look at this. this criminal hugs it out before running off with a bag of cash. that disease is for older people. not me. i take good care of myself. i'm active. i never saw it coming....it hit me like a ton of bricks. pneumococcal pneumonia was horrible... the fatigue... the chest pns, difficulty breathing. it put me in the hospital. you don't want to go through what i did. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor. you may be able to prevent it. >>> good morning, everyone. a fox news alert. you are looking live in dallas at texas presbyterian hospital where another case of ebola inside the united states has been confirmed. texas health services confirmed a dallas health care worker tested positive for the deadly virus. >> the worker came into contact with thomas eric duncan, the first person to die from ebola inside the united states. doctors say the worker duncan -- saw duncan on the second visit to the hospital and was deemed a low risk. doctors addressed the situation at a press conference that en

dr. mark siegel joins us live outside the hospital where the patient who himself is a doctor, dr.siegel, what have you learned? >> megyn, i'm standing outside bellevue hospital, the oldest public hospital in the united states which has a long history ofte we know this doctor had a 103 fever this morning. 'd911. the fire department has a rule you have to have 80 hours of experience before you can respond to these calls for potential ebola cases. one of the hazards came down and brought himfçzfz down to bellev hospital where he was put in isolation. our reports are he was actually put in one of the:p units wher you isolate tuberculosis. and then testing was done across the street at the public laboratories. i've been inside there where they do the ebola testing. it takes about three to four hours to get a result back. and they've told me with 95% accuracy on something called a neucleotide test. in the meantime the patient is in isolation at bellevue. >> dr. siegel, have they told you with 90% accuracy what the "new york times" is reporting tonight which is that those preliminary te

dr. mark siegel. i personally don't get flu shots. i don't think they work reliably. what is wrong? >> i am five feet from you and you don't get flu shots? i'm getting awfully shot right now. stuart: johns hopkins assigned us -- baxley. but as you wait for the john hopkins news watch this because you get more of it from dr. siegel. >> this is your best defense against the flu. it decreases circulating flu viruses. stuart: i haven't had a flu in 40 or 50 years. >> would you know if you had it? fatigue, fever. stuart: hi, are we still on for tomorrow? tomorrow. quick look at the weather. nice day, beautiful tomorrow. tomorrow is full of promise. we can come back tomorrrow. and we promise to keep it that way. driven to preserve the environment, csx moves a ton of freight nearly 450 miles on one gallon of fuel. what a day. can't wait til tomorrow. i'm sure you know what this meeting is about. yes, a raise. i'm letting you go. i knew that. you see, this is my amerivest managed... balances. no. portfolio. and if doesn't perform well for two consecutive gold. quarters. quarters...yup. then
