I would hope that the hospital’s attorneys and administrators would stand up to any blackmail that such a suit would represent. Duncan lied on his exit papers from Liberia. He lied to his govt and he lied to the hospital in TX. The hospital couldn’t be expected to divine his exposure to ebola.
The family is just nuts. These are the same people who refused to obey the order NOT to leave their apt, and who then received a large home in a gated community for their isolation, right?
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.
