Saying that he was sick and tired of having my medical credentials questioned, Governor Chris Christie (R-N.J.) had himself sworn in as a medical doctor on Sunday night. Dr. Christie acknowledged that becoming a doctor generally requires pre-med classes, four years of medical school, plus additional years of residency, but he said that the Ebola epidemic compelled him to take extraordinary measures, as we say in the medical profession. Dr. Christie said that, beginning on Monday, he would begin a series of random house calls to check New Jersey residents for Ebola and assign them for quarantine. I can usually diagnose someone with Ebola in under a minute, Dr. Christie said. Even faster if I dont actually see them. The doctor said that before moving forward with his plan to quarantine scores of New Jersey citizens he suspects of having Ebola, he consulted with other prominent epidemiologists, including Dr. Rick Perry, of Texas. He concurs, he said. Dr. Christie defended his quarantine plan against critics, noting that unorthodox procedures in medicine often face opposition at first. Were used to hearing that the nurses and doctors who treat Ebola patients are heroes, he said. But the real heroes are the people who lock up those heroes.
