Ebola - Transmission, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Thank you, there is a lot of conspiracy theories around and having this kind of resource to explain to my friends why those conspiracies are not to be taken seriously its really helpful.

Thanks Eric. I was looking for such an informative piece since the outbreak. 

it was a great video...very helpful from a medical student perspective

So nicely explained Thank you Sir

Thank you for these and all your videos.

Thank you very much! Very organized!

I believe there should be two levels of PPE for each type off precautions category. One for normal interactions and another for extended or physically demanding interactions. The disposable gown and surgical mask do a great job. Heck you don't even really need it in a normal conversation but it's there in case the patient sneezes/coughs or you touch something else then try to rub your eye. The problem is, if you're dealing with vomit and feces and sweating in your PPE and stretching and shuffling around eventually Ebola might get through. This those can wear the higher level suits. I wouldn't see it cavalier for a doctor to walk in, talk for a few minutes, take some lung sounds, etc with old PPE guidelines. But it would be asking for trouble to be turning the patient, leaning across him, wiping diarrhea, be near him during vomiting, changing his sheets, starting IVs etc with only gown mask. Just my thoughts! Thanks for informative video!

Thanks. Liked your summary best.

As always, great class, Dr. Eric!  I'm a Brazilian medical student, and I've been watching most of your online classes since last year. If you don't mind answering it, I'd like to ask you: which software(s) do you use to prepare your presentations? They always seem very clean and straightforward, but some of the graphics/illustrations made me think which program I could use to make something similar in some of my presentations.  Congratulations for your wonderful work, certainly many medical students and physicians around the world share the same admiration I have for your knowledge and talent as a teacher.

You the star.

Hi, Thank you for such a clear and factual video. I am currently writing an EPQ (a rough approximation would be a dissertation-style independent project for what I believe is the 11th grade in the US (Year 12 in England)) on the recent Ebola Epidemic. I have heard about the original CDC guidelines concerning PPE from several sources but I have been unable to find the original document/recommendations published by the CDC, did you originally find this information on the CDC website and do you know the date that the CDC published the more robust recommendations concerning PPE? Thank you very much.

Dear sir, I love your video lectures. I request you to prepare lectures on difficult topics like inborn errors of metabolism and storage disease , vasculitis etc

Great information as always! I do have a quick question though. If an infected person sneezed or coughed, could this aerosolize the virus?

very nice, really this is great effort 

Dear Eric, I would like to know what type of immunity people have after recovery, and how long it lasts (immunity)? And thank you very much for all your videos.

I have read another book by William T. Close called Ebola. This is how I learned of the disease. He was there during the first recorded outbreak. It is definitely a compelling read. Have you read this book or any of his other books concerning this matter? Would you be frightened to work with such a hot virus?

I agree with the ppe
