there are other workers in the o.r., for example, where if you're a physician going into the o.r., a scrub nurse will help you to get ready. also to get undressed afterwards from all the gear. there are potential for problems there. >> can i interject with this quick question? you said you used cameras in the o.r. in medical school. isn't that kind of what we're in right now? this disease has only been around since 1976, which sounds like a long time, and it seems like we're learning as we go. the messages have been so confusing coming out of health officials. maybe we treat this like it's medical school with those doctors and put up cameras. >> harris, there's a reason why we have not invested a lot of money in there. >> why? >> and we haven't paid attention to this. if you look at the history of ebola going back to 1976, fast track to 35 years after. there's only about 2500 cases, 1500 dead. there has been about 20 epidemics of ebola over the last many decades. they always come from this remote villages in africa. it comes in with a couple hundred people, 50% death, and it disappea

when we learn to put on it, when you go into the o.r. so you don't infect patients, that's a process. you don't learn it in 15 minutes. there are new efforts, i think, going to work. and that is to send teams out on the ground within a few hours and any place in the country that has a new case and make sure that these personnel who have dealt with this before are the ones who are training the health care workers at the hospital and observing them most importantly, taking it on and off multiple times so they can see where any gaps in their knowledge is and intervene before this hams again. >> thank you so much. this is great information. dr. natalie, thank you so much for your time this evening. a very informative segment. thank you. >>> coming up, good news for democrats fighting to save the senate. yes, it is in play! and it is winnable. and speaker boehner, we're about to introduce you to speaker boehner. she's still the one for you. and cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. cialis is also the only daily

. >> we would actually be asking for an o.r., or a very low bail. most defendants ask to be released for free, on the understanding that they'll show up for their court date. >> my biggest concern is your likelihood to appear in court, as well as the fact... >> but most have to pay >> i'm going to set your bail at $20,000, which is actually below schedule. >> for bail bondsmen, the court is where the market is set. each bail decision can mean a new payday, when defendants are willing to come up with ten percent of their bail to but their release. it's the reason why this courthouse, like most others across the country, is surrounded by bail bond shops. >> in california, if it's a $25 thousand dollar bond and you ain't got the money to afford it, i understand you're innocent until proven guilty, but you're going to stay in jail until you go to trial. >> leonard padilla is the face of the bail business in sacramento. >> this is some office you have. >> rattlesnakes, you ever heard of them? stick your tongue out for him, come on. good girl. >> you're q

we spent about nine hours with him in the o.r. this is one of those injuries that you see a couple of times in your career. every single bone that you can imagine in the face was broken, plus loss completely of the nose and the upper and lower lip and half of the tongue. >> komyatti lay in a coma for the next 22 days. during the time he had six more surgeries and will have to have seven. >> i probably have to have at least a dozen more surgeries. this is what the doctor put on until my nose can be reconstructed. >> at the time of our visit with komyatti, he still had another three months to wait until the nose reconstruction surgery. it won't be the same as his old nose, but his old nose will never be far away. it's in his freezer. >> this is a very unconventional way to hold one's nose. this is my nose and an inch and a half of my tongue. >> does it bother you that it's sitting in your freezer? >> i would rather have it sitting on my face. it looks better on my face than it does in this baggy. >>> coming up, paul komyatti goes ba

so for me, just having worked in the o.r., we wear the shoe covers so we don't get blood on our shoest, and question dispose those covers. it's very hard even if you're wearing sneakers to wrap them around your foot and get them off. a lot of times people will hold it against the wall to pull it around. if you do that, you might get something on the wall that could contaminate somebody else. having people that have done this in west africa, watching, using them as trained monitors, would be more effective. and even with the googles, now they've changed that to face shields, that's changed, but still, if you think about doing these procedures, you know, you know, people have had this experience in the winter where it kind of fogs up, you know, you're breathing heavily. your eyes are covered, and it becomes difficult to see. i would worry also about people doing procedures in this year because there's more chance of maybe getting a needle stick or some kind of other problem when you're not used to doing the things. >> maybe the best practice would be to transport patients to the hospita

were speaking about before is there is a protocol remember, for surgeons and nurses going into the o.r. to put on clothes, gowns so they don't infect patients. it needs to be practiced. is it possible care takers now taking care of patients haven't been trained properly in terms of disrobing -- what comes first? the mask, then the gown and gloves. if there is a small misstep in the series. >> so you're saying it's a matter of practice. did they practice the practice? >> correct. the question was posed this morning. are we suggesting there is another way this person became infected? ? no. mistakes can happen but the discussion about buddy systems, et cetera to observe if they are trained properly. >> the protocol has been laid out. how easy is it for one to contract the disease based on what might be called a slimimpl slip-up. the disposal of a suit, for instance. >> exactly. again that's the other question. we are talking about it from the moment a patient enters the emergency room are they appropriately identified, triaged in that initial setting appropriately, put into an isolation r

i'm a senior attorney, and i work with detained children in o.r. custody in virginia and maryland. i sort of have two questions but they're related to training and stakeholder relations and sort of two parts for barbara and maria. first maria, i want to thank you so much for the wonderful work that the young center does. >> thanks. >> i've had the pleasure of working with one of your child advocates out of the office in harlingen. i'm so excited you're opening new offices because we need more of your work. >> thanks. >> but barbara, you mentioned there's expanded training for the immigration judges. can you speak a little bit about that? and also maybe generally about what kind of training, if any, is required for immigration judges around issues relating to these unaccompanied minors. >> so we have done some training with the immigration judges, you know. some of you know because of budgetary issues, we've had to have our conferences on dvd for our judges. we had planned a conference actually this summer, a live in-person conference that we had to postpone in part because of the s

i used this analogy if you think about doctors and nurses going into the o.r. and learning how to put on sterile gowns so they don't infect patients, that's a procedure that has to be practiced and people need to train to know how to do that properly. and if there's a misstep, a nurse or something says, oops, you just touched your face and put your gown on, you have to start from the beginning. >> so are we just not prepared, doctor, because you have heard the cdc saying they have sent out the clear guidelines but obviously to your point this is such a delicate process and really should be carried out by people who have been trained. it doesn't seem like there was a whole lot of training in dallas, is that a fair characterization? >> i think that's a fair characterization. now my institution is starting, the hospital is in communication with city and state health officials to put into place a procedure in accordance to what the cdc is requiring. it's going to be multiple town hall meetings, training the individuals at highest risk. that's the emergency room wor

>> willie the time in the o.r. is up. back to you. >> all right. >> we're not here to answer questions. >> get out of here. >> if i had a case a day. >> stop drinking the thing. >> i think it's a one time $10, one time and you are out. >>> coming up, the new accusations being traded between steven collins and his estranged wife. this is a disturbing story. a lot of people are talking about in the wake of his alleged confession to child molestation. >> plus how safe is an artificial turf? nbc investigates serious health concerns raised over those synthetic fields. first this is "today" on nbc. . >> meet the guy that how do you eat your eggo? you can start with the syrup all on top, maybe not apple chunks and cinnamon and honey if you got bring on the chocolate spread somethin' green, somethin' blue somethin' orange, somethin' red ham and egg, tomato sandwich cut it nice and do some damage cream cheese, pomegranate make it look like jack or janet x's and o's and a tic tac toe. you can fill in the holes. let the syrup flow,

and it's the same with o.r. they don't release a child without going through the process of looking at that sponsor. but in our current system, we have nothing in place for ensuring that child will be safe, and we have really no system in place for even making a minimum inquiry about that. so i want to add what andy said in the beginning about what's happening right now. the number of children arriving at the border has decreased, or our beds are at about 65% capacity. so the numbers today are each day approximately 55 children are arriving at the border. in june, it was 300 children a day. so it's a significant drop. the causes are uncertain. we don't yet know. we don't yet know if it's going to be as a result of the hot weather at the end of the summer. or if there are other reasons, for example, bolstered borders by guatemala, mexico deporting many more children beefing up enforceme enforcement. what we do know is the children are being deported from the mexico border. the mexico/guatemala border. and the vio
