Nadya allows TB positive nannies near octuplets
Nadya Suelman;s lawyer admits they knew some of
the Nannies had positive PPD TB test results and
still allowed them near the octuplets!

Watching the Dr. Phil show there is a lot of she says, he says, she says, about what really happened inside the Suleman household since the Octopulets were released. While there aren’t a lot of things both sides agree on, one of the most concerning things they both admit to, is the fact that Nannies with positive PPD TB testing were allowed to care for the Octuplets!

According to Allred , “The third report was my concern the nannies were showing up with positive PPD TB [tuberculosis] testing, and Nadya gave them permission that they could wear a mask before the chest x-ray test results come back showing that they are negative,” she says. Linda West-Conforti explains that she overhead nannies and Kaiser Personnel talking about three nannies that had tested positive for tuberculosis.

Jeff Czech (Sulman’s lawyer) admits they knew about it and says they were concerned about TB exposure, but justifies it by saying Kaiser had told the nannies who were showing up for the training that if they were feeling even a sniffle, that they couldn’t show up. Apparently, that was enough for them but….

As Linda West-Conforti explains, “We had one nanny who was literally coughing up her left lung there, and she shouldn’t have even been there,” Later, they sent the Nanny home after she showed an indication of a positive sign of tuberculosis. “But Dr. Phil, that whole house was exposed to possible [TB] — I’m not saying that’s what it was, but we don’t know.”

Scary stuff.
