    Actually he told the nurse that he recently came from Liberia. I have seen it in a number of articles. I am guessing it is more likely the hospital thought him having Ebola was not probably, and didn't want to treat someone with no insurance.

    But "regretfully, that information was not fully communicated throughout the full team," said Dr. Mark Lester, executive vice president of Texas Health Resources.
    Duncan was sent home with painkillers and antibiotics, only to return in worse condition on September 28. That's when he was isolated.
    "It was a mistake. They dropped the ball," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said of the miscommunication at the hospital.
    "You don't want to pile on them, but hopefully this will never happen again. ... The CDC has been vigorously emphasizing the need for a travel history."
    Gupta said this mishap doesn't make sense.
    "A nurse did ask the question, and he did respond that he was in Liberia, and that wasn't transmitted to people who were in charge of his care," he said. "There's no excuse for this."
    And one of Duncan's friends said he was the one who contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with concerns that the hospital wasn't moving quickly enough after Duncan's second hospital visit.
    But the hospital said the patient's condition "did not warrant admission" last week.

    "Didn't warrant admission" AKA "He wasnt sick enough for anyone to care, and we were to stupid to realize just how dangerous the situation could be." Heads need to roll for this.

    Taking all the precautions huh. Is that why the hospital send him home for two days even though they knew he had recently come from West Africa? Sounds like they are screwing the pooch here.

    Yes I want the people tasked with keeping planes from hitting each other sitting in their recliner fighting sleep cause they are overworked. I want them to be susceptible to loosing Internet in their apartment because the cable man is an idiot and cant hook up the new neighbor properly. I want them to be susceptible to usage caps and the prime time netflix slow down that happens every night. I want them to be distracted by kids making noise in the parking lot and the lawn care guys mowing outside their window.

    I just think working from hoe for them is a super keen idea!!

    Protip: Think things through some huh?
