>> 1. African guy with an accent shows up at some Dallas hospital....throwing up in turbo fashion...fever...and he just gets some marginal medication and sent back home without asking about his recent travels.
It’s even more ridiculous. He tells them he just came from Liberia. This raised no alarms. Then they gave him antibiotics. Antibiotics combat bacteria but do nothing for viruses ( http://www.cdc.gov/GetSmart/antibiotic-use/antibiotic-resistance-faqs.html/#why-bacteria-resist ). They completely missed that he had a viral infection.
He probably didn’t have insurance. They didn’t want to fund his care so they didn’t really look into his condition. Just determined it wasn’t life threatening and send home. They do it every day. Hospitals go broke paying for people’s care.
To make matters worse, that hospital just had an ebola review! So they think they were up to speed, but failed miserably!
