When I had a cardiac arrest, my only symptoms were nausea and vomiting. I didn't have the usual sign of intense chest pain and pressure. So naturally, the ER staff thought I had the flu. I thought I had the flu. I could not reasonably expect the ER staff to diagnose a coronary.

Same with Duncan. He showed up at the ER with fever and other flu-like symptoms. We never had Ebola in this country before. How could anyone reasonably expect the ER to diagnose Duncan with Ebola?

I used to work for lawyers. Often, these attorneys defended doctors and hospitals from medical malpractice lawsuits. Some of these lawsuits were justified, but cases like this are just extortion rackets. If Obama really wanted to reform health care, he should have built in reforms designed to curb frivolous medical malpractice suits which cost American consumers billions per year. We, not the hospitals, are the ones who pay through the nose for these ridiculous claims.

Because he told the staff he had come from Liberia. That should’ve set off some warning bells.

President Ebola wants to make himself clear.

If you like your Hemorrhagic Fever, you can keep your Hemorrhagic Fever!
