Hollywood ER reopens after lockdownBY KATHLEEN McGRORY
Part of the emergency room at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood has been reopened after a brief lockdown this morning, hospital officials said.
Earlier today, a man entered the ER with a high fever and a rash -- symptoms that resembled smallpox, a potentially fatal infectious disease. Following standard procedure, hospital officials quarantined one area of the ER.
Doctors later said the man did not have smallpox. They have not said what he had.
''We were exercising an abundance of caution,'' said Kerting Baldwin, a hospital spokeswoman.
The entire ER was open and accepting patients, hospital officials said.
