ABC News' chief medical editor declares New York City doctor with Ebola a 'hero'

Dr. Craig Spencer is hero. He was helping to care for #Ebola patients in Guinea. When he got fever he contacted @MSF_USA + was isolated.

.@DrRichardBesser @ShimonPro @MSF_USA He is an idiot who exposed others and knew the danger. I hope he gets sued.

@DrRichardBesser @MSF_USA @LizCho7 More of a shithead. Was told to self-quarantine and didn't. If anyone dies from this charge him w/murder.

I have to ask: why didn't a doctor returning to US from treating #Ebola victims in the hot zone not self-quarantine?

@jimsciutto God complex?

@jimsciutto The answer is hubris. Just like doc Snyderman.

@jimsciutto Agree on the hubris….or he got permission from Miss Synderman. #Ebola
