DALLAS—Health officials' handling of the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States continued to raise questions Friday, after the hospital that is treating the patient and that mistakenly sent him home when he first came to its emergency room acknowledged that both the nurses and the doctors in that initial visit had access to the fact that he had arrived from Liberia.
For reasons that remain unclear, nurses and doctors failed to act on that information, and released the patient under the erroneous belief that he had a low-grade fever from a viral infection, allowing him to put others at risk of contracting Ebola.

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’.
But couldn’t he get Obamacare? LOL

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.
They will by the time it is necessary.
We aren’t there yet.
The nurses and doctors are third worlders just like Mr Liberia-Ebola.
Add this all together together and you get massive lying and blame shifting same as Obama does.
No one takes responsibility.
Like these numskulls at this hospital admitting would know what and where Liberia is
No job. No insurance. No papers. Here’s your pills, go home.
