Tennessee ebola doctor quarantines himself
East Tennessee doctor quarantines himself after work with Ebola patients
An East Tennessee doctor who recently returned from treating Ebola patients in West Africa has voluntarily quarantined himself inside his home, and a local expert says it's an admirable move, but probably unnecessary.
Dr. Alan Jamison of Morristown — a city about three-and-a-half hours east of Nashville — recently returned from West Africa where he was working with Medical Teams International to treat Ebola patients. He is staying in his house, avoiding contact with the outside world until he is sure he does not have the virus.
