i was unselfish and served humanity, as i treated ebola victims in africa.
given that i am so deserving, when i return home, i can violate quarantines at my whim, and expose my fellow citizens to death & suffering from the ebola i give to them, by violating quarantine.***
it seems to me an odd paradigm, but, it is the paradigm and mantra of the contemporary humanitarian.--
a doctor returns from africa, and violates a quarantine to go bowling, the night before he vomits in public w/ a high fever. into the hospital, diagnosed w/ ebola.
a doctor, and television correspondent, violates quarantine so that she can go get a treat to eat, ... , putting her hair up in a ponytail so as to escape detection via disguise. how's that for a commentary on her motives, and understanding of the wrong she is committing?
it confers a peculiar form of arrogance, this humility and willingness to serve. or so it would seem.
look at me, look at me, look at me, i did good!!! so now i can do anything i fucking please.
"it is to laugh, it is to cry," as social commentator bugs bunny has been wont to observe.

*** kind of a "if i die from ebola" while acting nobly, "then the rest of them deserve to die too," because they didn't act nobly. that's how i parse it out, anyway.
am i mistaken?
update @ 10.29.2014 tip o' the ole hat, carolyn e. apparently the little red haired nurse wants free of her quarantine at home. and, the doctor who went bowling, well, he rode around in the new york subways and visited his girlfriend before he got sick. no wonder she looked a little worried when he got popped in the hospital.
fucking idiots. well, you read the follow ups, and decide on your own.
http://nypost.com/2014/10/29/ebola-doctor-lied-about-his-nyc-travels-police/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=NYP%20180%20Day%20Openers%20and%2030%20Day%20Signups&utm_campaign=NY%2520Post%2520Newsletter . i'd go here. it makes interesting reading. another medical person, who thinks he knows best, and thought he was just fine. he dined at the meatball shop. he went bowling at the gutter. there is a picture of him with a woman, presumably his girl friend. how do you think she feels about being in the sack, french kissing, and otherwise exhanging bodily fluids with this idiot who calls himself "doctor." "physician cure thyself" has become, "physician, infect others with a deadly disease."
well, obviously he knows better, knew better, about his chances of getting sick, ... , right up until he started hurling his guts.
as to his colleague, the "spunky" little nurse who feels fine? well, the good doctor has not tempered her enthusiasm for her medical judgment.
http://nypost.com/2014/10/29/ebola-nurse-in-maine-im-blowing-off-my-quarantine-order/ . she's not going to obey legal process ordering her quarantined at home. she knows best, just like the doctor who knew best and road the subways of new york city until he took ill. the nurse says she feels fine, no symptoms. the doc said he felt fine, no symptoms, until he started puking his guts up in public.
assholes. end update.
I don't know.
Docs are known to do very poor jobs of self-treating (when its life-threatening), and so are not supposed to attempt to do so. I know a doc who discovered one night (he'd decided to look at his own blood) that he had advanced leukemia! He managed to immediately "forget" it for many weeks until he came down with hepatitis, the early stage of which looks remarkably like advanced leukemeia under the microscope.
This story made me recall that. Nonetheless, the threat to others of a terribly infections disease must trump any such idiot mental distortions.

A keen observation John Jay.
The view from another step back, or two, revels the squalor an pestilence that they find, and that they then leave behind.
These "medical mission" organizations are UN NGOs. Doing the bidding of the UN leaves the richer richer - the poor poorer and sicker.
NGOs are the advance scouts to plant globalist seeds of discontent.
Another UN NGO, Doctors Without Borders, has even been known to call in artillery strikes.

ps: this term... "Non Governmental Organization" is quite disturbing in itself.

ngo's are sorta the peacenik version of military mercenaries. or, more appropriately, like "black ops."
somebody is paying for them. and, there is an agenda, just as you say.
i would guess that more ngo's exist in the west bank and the gaza strip than anywhere else on earth, and they all drive ambulances to move hamas troops around. i read somewhere what percentage of the gazan population is employed by the united nations, and it is astounding.
john
p.s. i have often argued that the terror war on the west is funded and directed by the u.n., and the leftists in the euro union. you'd have to argue 'til you were blue in the face to convince me otherwise.
ngo's. period.

cure thyself. laughing.
but, never heard it said, infect everyone else, so they can be as thyself.
a novel approach.
