Liberian with Ebola

[Hortical]

Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan did the right thing for his own personal
interests. Any reasonable person would have lied to leave Liberia for better
healthcare in the USA. He knew he cared for the pregnant woman
who died from Ebola, and put many folks at risk in coming to the USA.

If I were him, I would have lied too, if I got exposed in Jamaica to a highly contagious disease!

Do you think he was not diagnosed and admitted on the first attempt because of no INSURANCE?

Arriving in an ambulance on the second attempt constitutes an emergency; therefore he was admitted.

There are obviously some important info. being left out.

“In our electronic health records, there are separate physician and nursing workflows. The documentation of the travel history was located in the nursing workflow portion of the EHR, and was designed to provide a high reliability nursing process to allow for the administration of influenza vaccine under a physician-delegated standing order. As designed, the travel history would not automatically appear in the physician's standard workflow.”
In other words, the nurse wrote that Duncan had come from Liberia, but the doctors who examined him would not have automatically seen that. And they were not prompted to ask.

A patient with Ebola-like symptoms is being treated at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C., a hospital spokesperson confirmed late Friday morning.
The patient had traveled to Nigeria recently.

Don't think he was not admitted based on insurance. Obviously, the first thing they ask at a hospital is insurance. I've taken others to
the emergency room & hospitals, and their first question is about insurance.

They goofed on his traveling & potential risk of ebola.

Liberian? Who said he was Liberian?!

As far as I know, he is American. So let's start from there.

[Jangle]

They keep reporting him as a Liberian citizen. I presume he's a Green Card holder hence Liberian.

I've never heard that.
