I read the first account as "the sister said he said that he said blah-blah was fresh from Liberia."

So let's blame the hospital. And the hospital is taking responsibility--but I know from experience that that doesn't mean the hospital did anything wrong.

I smell BS about this account, and blame-shifting. I know a little bit about how patients lie, especially patients from the third world, and these patients are about some serious blame=-shifting.

It seems to always work to blame the doctors. I wish every doctor at the Dallas hospital would promptly quit and leave the place for the administrators and the &*%$ blame-shifting lawyers.

Agreed. I think he decided to go to the states because the USA bragged about successful treatments of the first two ebola evacuees that came from Africa. The message is, 'the USA is the best place to get treatment'.

So he figured his best chance was to get here asap. And he obviously didn't emphasize the fact that he had handled someone who died from ebola only four days before.

I can't believe that any doctor who saw him firsthand and knew that he had been in Liberia would just give him antibiotics and send him home. There was a serious breakdown in communication somewhere. And now there's a very high likelihood others were infected in the period of time after he was sent home from the hospital, let alone before that.

Hopefully he was telling the truth about only coming down with symptoms after his arrival here -- otherwise this could develop into a full-scale outbreak. It's already impacting the markets, and people with kids in school there in Dallas.
