It will play out one of two ways. This person was either treating Mr. Duncan the first ER visit, before they knew he had Ebola.
Or, and this is my guess, the hospital will blame the employee for not following “strict” containment and sterile procedures. Staff will be retrained.
Either way, their policies will not be at fault.
Until another person comes down with it.

I’m not condemning the hospital admin, just observing that they are probably doing a lot if testing if personnel. I do condemn the government—they are going to create a panic through earning public distrust.
