Sister: US Ebola Patient Told Hospital He Was From Liberia, But Still Sent Home

The first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States told relatives that he notified health care workers the first time he went to the hospital that he was visiting the US from Liberia...

Isn't the free market teh awesome!

I suppose it's possible to be more stupid than ravi, but not likely.

Private hospital.

Not to mention that Republicans have been defunding the CDC for years.

You reap what you sow.

I guess with record amounts of people on welfare, you have to cut back in other places. Thanks to Obama's booming economy.

Damn, this administration is a carnival.

Why has the USA ordered quarantine of everyone recently visiting from West Africa?

it's just standard medical protocol, frankie...





A thorough travel history performed by all members of a healthcare team in the ED— including nurses, doctors, nursing practitioners or physician assistants–is vital to ensure that patients are adequately assessed for Ebola virus as a potential explanation for symptoms as vague as fever, abdominal pain or diarrhea, especially in the setting of the worse outbreak of Ebola since it was first identified in 1976.

...


Having a heightened awareness for Ebola is also essential for all front line medical providers when evaluating patients with fever and gastrointestinal symptoms, along with recent travel from West Africa or surrounding countries. Any contact with persons who may have been ill with fever in West Africa, as well as contact with a body at a burial site would further raise suspicion for Ebola as a potential pathogen. Recent exposure to wild antelopes, monkeys or even fruit bats would be even more concerning.


Performing a thorough travel history for Mr. Duncan–via a checklist and strict protocol- would have likely led medical staff to place him in isolation, followed by notification of the CDC with subsequent testing for Ebola. The end result would be a reduction in risk of exposure to members of the hospital and community.


Some experts have pointed to the failure of communication by certain members of the healthcare team in evaluating the patient for Ebola. In fact, it has been reported by several new sources that nursing staff were aware that the man had come from Liberia. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of all members of the healthcare team to obtain a travel history–as a system of checks and balances–in this heightened state of Ebola awareness.


Evaluating patients for disease or potential infection is enhanced not only by understanding symptoms, but specific risk factors such as recent high-risk travel and geographic risk factors to complete the puzzle.


Repetition of his travel history–and not relying on just one member of a team to perform a specific action may have prevented his discharge from the ED and exposure of others in the hospital and community to the virus.

Obama is a failure, Democrats are falling in the polls, Republicans set for historic sweep of both houses of Congress.

Obama silent as nation waits for a leader.

Well that's closing the barn door after the disease vector has roamed around a major US city

I apologize for my earlier remarks also, Valerie. I'm incensed because the USA has hit an iceberg, is listing badly to port and people are still acting like it's a joke

A black man goes to the emergency room, feeling very ill. His sister states that he is from Liberia. The emergency room sends him home without doing any tests. Now that is the present American Health Care System at it's finest. And, fittingly, in Texas.

Oh, I am quite sure the 'Conservative' answer will be to shut down the CDC. After all, it is another evil government agency. And, without the CDC, the problem will go away , because the government causes all such problems.

 

[mudwhistle]

A potential case of ebola has been discovered in Texas. So liberals what did you say? We have nothing to worry about? That republicans are just scared. Well I have one thing to say to you. We fucking told your stupid asses this could happen and probably would, but instead you had to blow Obama and protect him. Maybe Obama should attend his briefings in the morning. Liberals own this if this epidemic is started here in the United states.

Yeah, fuckers.

Is there anything that the Obama Administration can protect us from????

Mexico does not deserve to be infected by Texass.

It's a Democrat conspiracy to kill off Republicans and replace them with illegals.
