BS..they wanted to dump another foreigner with no health insurance on another hospital. Too bad they were the nearest one and got stuck with him again.
Complete incompetence...from the CDC on down. They don’t know what they are doing. From letting this ebola guy wonder around town, to the CDC WAITING 48 HOURS to decontaminate the apartment and letting regular people clean up his mess.
What is going to take to lock this down? Somebody in Congress catching this stuff?
HOLY CRAP!! Another Obamacare website “glitch”?
Obamacare in action.
Is it the same software company that designed the ØbolaCare website?
Nothing like blaming the computer for human ineptitude.
Yup-—I believe it’s called “meaningful use.”
“BS..they wanted to dump another foreigner with no health insurance on another hospital. Too bad they were the nearest one and got stuck with him again.”
They will never admit it, but you are correct
You’ve obviously never been in a big city emergency room.
The doctor is probably the last in the chain to see the patient, and that’s only after the patient has been sitting there for hours after having given his information to some uncomprehending person who is sitting behind the desk watching the latest episode of her favorite soap. All that information is what gets passed down the chain and what the subsequent people - nurses or doctors - use to make their decisions.
The doctor - when the info got to him or her - acted on that basis. Also, the Liberian community is about 10,000 strong in North Texas, so the emergency room is probably used to Liberians, and if the desk clerk didn’t ask about his travels or he didn’t tell them (his family says he did, but I’m not so sure), there was no reason for the medical staff to ask. They all base it on information at the start of the chain.
Not a good system, in my opinion, because the admitting clerks are not medical professionals at any level and furthermore are very low-skilled (at least, in a general hospital). If they were hired from welfare to work, I congratulate them, but they need better training and also a more patient-friendly and less hostile attitude. They never even look away from the waiting room TV while they’re entering patient data.
That was my first reaction to the news of the doctor throwing the intake nurse under the bus. It's that Doctor god thing, they won't listen to the nurses or patients. Care to place a bet that the doc wasn't from 'around here'?
“It is the computer’s fault” excuse has been used a million times. The other excuse: “It is in the computer that way so it must be right.”
I predict a hard drive crash very soon.
Uh, WTF; I don’t know, if a very black man with a very heavy foreign accent comes in sick and does not have a SS #; it doesn’t take software to tell you maybe this guy might be from West Africa. Or maybe I should ask where are you from and how long have you been in the US. Especially, since Ebola is all over the news and everyone, including our dumbass President, is talking about it. Maybe the Dr’s, nurses and the receptionist are more up to date with the latest Kardasian or Honey Boo Boo show....
Just a complete cluster
Are they using Dr Lexus’ computer? The one from Idiocracy?
Somebody in Congress catching this stuff?....Hopefully, ALL of them.
After signing us in, us sitting in the lobby for an hour and finally seeing my son, the nurses and doctors returned with masks and gloves and escorted us out the back door. My son tested positive for influenza.
At that point is was probably moot.
Don’t ever go to the doctor or the ER or the hospital. It is full of sick people!
Interseting that this machine has two functions, detecting Ebola AND climate change.
This is The Lamestream media trying to cover for the Obola Administration. The liberian POS should never have been in the country in the first place.
Occam’s razor —> diagnosis-—> All signs of the flu, 99 percent correct most of the time. Diagnosis Ebola, 1 in a billion in the US.
With a room full of illegal aliens from south of the border sapping the hospitals bottom line.....I would have done the same with that scumbag Duncan.
Quit knee-jerking people. The hospital is not at fault, none of these illegals should be here in the first place!!
I haven’t seen that one yet. Sounds like it is good.
