Does Columbia have an Ebola ward?
Isnt Columbia a better facility that the one he is going to?
"At a news conference in New York City on Thursday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said eight hospitals in the state would provide specialized care should any Ebola cases be identified in the state.
The hospitals are
- Mount Sinai Hospital,
- NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital,
- Bellevue Hospital Center,
- Montefiore Medical Center,
- North Shore-LIJ Health System,
- SUNY Upstate Medical University at Syracuse,
- University of Rochester Medical Center and
- Stony Brook University Hospital.
Mr. Cuomo said the more than 200 hospitals statewide will be prepared to identify a case of Ebola.
Columbia Presbyterian/Weill Cornell and Bellevue were designated as the hospitals to which suspected ebola cases should be transported.
Columbia Presbyterian is closer to Harlem than Bellevue, so I don’t know why he was transported down to Bellevue.
That said, I’m having surgery in Weill Cornell on November 13 so I’d really like this NOT to be ebola...
