A patient is being tested for Ebola at Baptist Health in Downtown Jacksonville.

Hospital officials says they have admitted a patient who has flu-like symptoms, but no fever.

The person told hospital staff that they has casual contact with a person who travelled to West Africa.

Officials say the patient is in isolation and is being monitored to protect hospital staff and the community.

There is no confirmation that the patient has Ebola, and hospital officials sayy the diagnosis is "highly unlikely."

Baptist Health says they are exercising caution and using CDC protocols.

I find the following comment curious:

"The person told hospital staff that they has casual contact with a person who travelled to West Africa."

Person not he or she, They...who are they, is there more than one, is this just an oversight and nothing to be suspicious and/or curious about.

Baptist Hospital. That’s where I had my tonsils out in 4th grade. They still used ether to knock you out. They would put a mask over your mouth and nose and drop some drops of ether on it til you went to sleep. Some got in one of my eyes and I had a swollen shut eye for about 4 days.

I knew I was really in a bad way because my Mom let my cat Zeke in and he got to lounge on the bed with me. She hates cats. LOL! At our house you could gage how near death you were by how fast they let Zeke in. LOL!

For me, in upstate New York at the time, the ether wasn’t so bad. They just addicted me to morphine trying to ease the pain of the experimental surgery they did on my legs.

Good grief! What idiot wrote this? Six sentences and only one is without an grammatical error.

And what is it with this trend of not putting sentences in paragraphs?
