I do not think that the CDC owns or controls Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
Any violations of protocols would be the fault of the hospital and not the CDC.
“Any violations of protocols would be the fault of the hospital and not the CDC.”
The Liability Lawsuit dance for this is just beginning.
Jesse already wants his part of any potential payday for the Duncan family, and if she lives, the Pham girl will never have to work again.
We saw over the weekend the Harvard clinic isolate a potential Ebola case OUTSIDE of the clinic, rather than bring him back in, and hold him there until he was transferred to another facility.
How long until insurers start telling the hospitals that they aren’t covering liability for Ebola?
When that happens, things will get REALLY BAD, REALLY FAST. Most hospitals won’t dare to touch them for liability fears. As long as they sick and die OUTSIDE the Hospital, they aren’t on the hook for it.
That likely explains why they came out today, wanting to establish an Ebola-Only hospital in each state. They SAY it is so the protocols will be easier to follow. IMHO, it is to prevent a liability-induced healthcare meltdown.
