Quarantined US nurse says 'made to feel like a criminal'

New York (AFP) - An American nurse published a scathing account of her treatment after being put in isolation in the United States following a stint caring for Ebola patients in West Africa, saying she was made to feel like "a criminal."Kaci Hickox was the first person to enter mandatory 21-day quarantine for medical staff returning to parts of the United States who may have had contact with Ebola patients in West Africa, the epicenter of the outbreak that has killed nearly 5,000 people.The new rules took effect in New York and New Jersey on Friday, the same day Hickox returned."This is not a situation I would wish on anyone, and I am scared for those who will follow me," Hickox wrote in The Dallas Morning News, saying she was showing no symptoms when she arrived back in the United States."I am scared about how health care workers will be treated at airports when they declare that they have been fighting Ebola in West Africa.
