After all, on Sept. 11, Lurie told the Washington Post that her office was diligently workingwith other federal agencies "to ensure that U.S. health care providers, hospitals, health clinics, emergency medical services ... have the information they need to be prepared to identify and treat Ebola infections, in case anyone in the United States becomes sick after traveling from affected countries or from contact with infected individuals." Two weeks later, Ebola-infected Thomas Duncan showed up at the Texas Presbyterian Health Hospital with a high fever after returning from Liberia, only to be discharged with a prescription for antibiotics. I see..............its her fault that some doctor and some hospital in TX were not doing their jobs. You do understand the MD was given the info about Duncan's recent travels but then decided to give him two 'aspirins' and send him home. Could it be that the deciding factor was that Duncan didn't have health insurance and not the threat of Ebola?
