Caption:

This 1981 photograph depicts a virtual patient, who was actually a healthy participant in a practice activity. She was lying in a bed that was about to be enclosed in a Vickers patient-isolation unit, which would normally be used to transport a critically ill patient to a nearby medical center. In the background, you can see medical staff members dressed in protective quarantine garments, as they were discussing the in-progress activity. This mock patient had been provided access to a telephone, which she was using at this time. The image was captured during a trial run of a patient, who was transported from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to a nearby medical center. A doctor was administering care to the patient with supportive help provided by the Isolation Unit medical staff. See PHIL 14505 through 14529, for imagery documenting this practice emergent situational scenario.
