Twitter unloads on quarantine-breaking Dr. Nancy Snyderman for 'lame' apology

Well, she should know better, but that didn’t stop her from breaking her quarantine to get, of all things, soup:

Elitist journo endangers NJ, destroys restaurant's clientele & gives the title 'Doctor' bad name. All for some soup. http://t.co/jvOXaDj2Pj

Was the soup preventative or just tasty we wonder?

And there are growing calls for NBC to take action against Snyderman:

Really not impressed with Nancy Snyderman's "apology," and if @NBCNews wants to do the right thing, they'll make an example and fire her.

If you know me, you know I am *never* one to call for people's scalps. But breaking Ebola quarantine for soup is where I draw the line.

So here's my question for @nbc: you ordered @DrNancyNBCNEWS into quarantine. She broke it. Will you fire her?

She should probably have her medical license suspended too for such reckless indifference to safety. @bethanyshondark @nbc @DrNancyNBCNEWS

Can someone introduce Dr. Nancy Snyderman to Netflix? So she'll stop violating her Ebola quarantine. @TMZ

Snyderman has apologized for getting caught…

“As a health professional I know that we have no symptoms and pose no risk to the public, but I am deeply sorry for the concerns this episode caused. We are thrilled that Ashoka (Mukpo) is getting better and our thoughts continue to be with the thousands affected by Ebola whose stories we all went to cover.”

…but it’s not going over too well:

Dr. Nancy Snyderman must really love her soup. Also, kind of a lame apology.

Really? Dr. Nancy Snyderman drove to pick up soup under quarantine? And your apology lacked personal responsibility. #nosorry?#Orangeroom

You can say "sorry" for possibly exposing me to the sniffles. This does not work for Ebola. http://t.co/wOYiFIsdSh #thanksDrSnyderman

Yep, that’s a pretty bad apology.
