The evening news yesterday said the hospital had evaluated him for four hours. That’s a long time. Either they are counting the time he arrived to the time he left or they may have put him in an ER room for observation, set him up with some basic meds and if his vitals were fine sent him home. Either way, at some point he should have mentioned to the doctor he was just over from Liberia and his friend and neighbors were dropping like flies from Ebola. Ms. Jallah and her father were most likely sitting by his bedside, yet they never mentioned it either so they can’t blame that on the hospital.
Nothing would surprise. These folks are obviously looking for a payout and I pray the hospital doesn’t give it to them just to shut them up.
I’ve spent way too much time in ER’s, and they’re very good at triage. IF ONLY he had told them of his exposure, it would have saved a lot of heart ache, not to mention potentially, a lot of lives. Of course, it would have been most helpful had he told the LIberian authorities as he fled their nation, carrying his contaminated self to the USA and he’d have been quarantined there, to everyone’s benefit. They could possibly have begun treatment that much earlier, and he could be alive today.
