Above is Dr. Nancy Snyderman. She is or was NBC's chief medical editor and correspondent. She went to Africa to report on the Ebola outbreak that is occurring back in October. One of her crew members contracted the virus while in Africa and she and the crew were to return home and upon return go into quarantine for 21 days. Snyderman said that she would quarantine herself for the 21 days on the air and told people that she was setting an example for others in the proper medical procedures for this virus. However, a few days after beginning her quarantine people and later local news outlets spotted her in New Jersey out and about getting food and other things. She was obviously not following her own advice or doing what she told the world she would do. Since then she has not been heard from or seen. This includes social media. People are posting to her facebook page with no response. What people are wondering is if she still works for NBC. She was suppose to return sometime in November but there has still been no sign of her. With no NBC executives willing to comment, one is left to wonder if her credibility as a news anchor and analyst is shot. To read more about this click on the link below.

I would say even if she does still have her job, she doesn't seem like a very credible person after lying to people about what she was going to do. It would be one thing if she'd done it after not making an announcement, but they way she said it makes it seem like she thinks people who do what she did are irresponsible. Who wants to listen to someone who can't follow their own advice?
