Dallas Hospital Apology

Dallas hospital apology: The Texas hospital where an Ebola patient died and two nurses became infected is apologizing for mistakes made when first confronted with the deadly virus. Dr. Daniel Varga said the hospital mishandled the case of Thomas Eric Duncan, the Ebola patient who was originally sent home from Texas Presbyterian Health hospital even after he had a fever and said he was from Liberia. “We did not correctly diagnose his symptoms as those of Ebola. We are deeply sorry.” Days after Duncan returned to the hospital, he died from the virus. One of the Texas nurses is being treated in Dallas, the other in Atlanta.
