There has been a lot of speculation in the last ten days over whether or not Dr. Nancy Snyderman would be returning to her post as chief medical editor on NBC after violating her voluntary Ebola quarantine. Snyderman and her crew spent weeks in Liberia covering the virus when one of the cameramen traveling with them became ill. His diagnosis on October 1 sent the entire crew back to the states where they were supposedly going to quarantine themselves for 21 days. Instead several of them were spotted picking up take out food in New Jersey. After weeks of backlash NBC has decided not to fire Snyderman just yet. -
NBC's Dr. Nancy Snyderman Facing Credibility Issues, May Lose Job After Violating Ebola Self-Quarantine
Nancy Snyderman's mandatory Ebola quarantine is set to end early this week, but her problems may just be beginning. NBC's chief medical editor was with ABC before hopping over to NBC in 2006, and over the years she had become a trusted voice in educating the public about a variety of medical topics. She and her crew were in Liberia reporting on the Ebola crisis when a cameraman, Ashoko Mukpo, contracted the virus. In response to his diagnosis, Snyderman told viewers she and the rest of her team were returning to the States and would voluntarily quarantine themselves. A week later, they were spotted getting take-out food in New Jersey, a decision that led to a mandatory quarantine and backlash from the general public. -

Snyderman and her news team spent several days reporting live from Liberia, and when one of the cameramen in her entourage was diagnosed with Ebola, they all returned to the States. While Snyderman has been phoning in her NBC reports due to a voluntary quarantine, the doctor has not exactly stayed indoors. -
