DALLAS They drew his blood, put tubes down his throat and wiped up his diarrhea. They analyzed his urine and wiped saliva from his lips, even after he had lost consciousness.
About 70 staff members at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital were involved in the care of Thomas Eric Duncan after he was hospitalized, including a nurse now being treated for the same Ebola virus that killed the Liberian man who was visiting Dallas, according to medical records his family provided to The Associated Press.

The dialysis machine that was used should be fine though.
If there wasn’t such a delay in figuring out Duncan had ebola, the chances, while not a guarantee, would be greater that he would survive it. CDC needs to admit that their screening sucks and that they have a lazy incompetent POS who probably wastes time doing porn or sucking up to the POTUS to keep his job.
70?! Who thought that was a good idea. Unreal.
"Nothing to see here. Move along."
Pennywise is more trustworthy than the head of the CDC.
Is that Dem voters going to poll to vote?
The Federal Government fixes it?
who in their right mind , who had even a scintilla of skill at managing care would think that spreading his potentially lethal care among such an IMMENSE NUMBER OF PEOPLE would be a good idea.
it is exactly as if they WANT to spread this disease.
I certainly wouldn’t want that dialysis machine to be used on email or anyone else for that matter.
Sure, but ... .slavery!

Note also the ‘we can’t track them.’
They don’t have PASSPORTS???
Continued flights from infected countries? Check!
Delaying HazMat and clean-up? Check!
Borders STILL open? Check!
Gov't saying "don't panic" to America? Check!
I remember that day. Great party!
They actually didn’t wipe up his diarrhea. They changed out the anal tube/bag that collects feces twice per day.
They also moved the exam light overhead multiple times per day to look in his eyes, his throat, etc that was warm and covered with his exhalation and sneezes and coughs. When they pulled their gloves off later, did they use their ‘clean’ hand to pull the other infected glove off?
At 500k for treatment each, that 35 million. I wonder if ObamaCare premiums will be going up next year.
So - this is where the Walking Dead started at...uhm...
Thanks OBAMA!
What about the ambulance that took Duncan to the hospital? I heard that the ambulance carried other people after it transported Duncan to the hospital. Those ambulances pick up a lot of homeless people and other patients in one day.
What? The victims will turn into a bunch of university students who are waking up and staggering back to their dorm rooms after a night out on the town?
I’m going with the samurai sword - doesn’t have to be re-loaded!
