I think they were hoping he’d go to another hospital. Its probably that simple.
“for reasons that remain unclear” The Reason: They told him to go home because he probably just had a cold. They were too dense to hear “I JUST FLEW IN FROM FREAKING LIBERIA!”.
CDC spokes dude “This disease is very difficult to spread. Do not worry. We know what we’re doing. Blah, blah,blah.”
Maybe the doctor was Pakistani and couldn’t understand English very well.
And then they gave him an antibiotic, which don’t work on viruses. What kind of dummies are employed at that hospital?
Perhaps the employees don’t keep up with news...
When is the gov't shut the borders and protect Americans from this plague?
What it is going to take before some people say enough's enough.
I can only think of legal action.
I don't expect anything useful from B. Hussein O.'s flapping mouth.
By not limiting flights from Africa, employing a 3 week quarantine before coming in to the US, not shutting down our borders, and by sending our soldiers to Ebola land, Obama is using biowarfare on US citizens.
Pure and simple. There are ways he could decrease our risk of illness and he is REFUSING to employ them.
There are more ebola cases in the US then are being reported.
We may hear the truth after the election, but I doubt it.
Sounds like this is setting up grounds for a lawsuit late.
They didn’t treat him right; therefore, he and/or his family deserve $50 million or some such.
You're assuming that the nurses and doctors even know what the hell a "Liberia" even is.
People don't know about Liberia, or even how to spell it. They don't know what the continent of Africa is.
A lot of adults (most, perhaps?) can't even find the United States on a map of the world.
You absolutely can't overestimate how DUMB most Americans are these days. O'Reilly talked about it a few months ago on his show. He said that when a population becomes so uneducated and dumb and gullible, that's when these tin pot dictators come to power. The dumb masses don't even realize that they're being manipulated and used and exploited. You see this kind of thing all the time in the Third World.
I work in New Hampshire, and even here there are hundreds of Somalis, Liberians, and Congolese who are sponsoring relatives all the time. A lot of them are sick when they arrive.
We can handle one "rule out Ebola". We can arguably handle two at once. Beyond that, the territory is unknown.
It's very difficult to understand what our leaders are thinking.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
We’re gonna need 
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
I figure they turned him out because he couldn’t pay. You and I would’t even be seen if we had no insurance or way to pay.
They’re going to bury us coming over here for treatment. Try going into any other country in the world without insurance or means to pay and see what you get.... a big lot of nothin’.

My daughter is a nurse locally - she says that the vast majority of hospitals are unprepared, are not preparing, and will not have proper guidance/support/resources if it gains a foot hold.
No job. No insurance. No papers. Here’s your pills, go home.
