Surgery down 165 cases in the past month. Income down $8.6 million in past mo.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

Not surprising at all. Hopefully they have enough reserves/support to survive.

Okay, but, the hospital gets hit with a very high risk patient and has no experience in dealing with it and, if the news reports are to be believed, gets very little assistance from the organization that is tasked with dealing with such things.
And, keep in mind that the ebola patient had a viral disease and every emergency room in the country sees patients with a viral disease with similar symptoms very frequently. Granted the ER people didn't tumble to the ebola link right away.
Reminds me of the first case of Lyme disease where a young woman came down with the previously unknown disease and didn't get immediate appropriate treatment and had significant problems from the disease. Most of those problems could now have been avoided but they didn't know what they were dealing with so didn't know how to treat it.
Anyway, it would be a shame for a big hospital serving thousands of people to fail because of a single incident from a person's illness when that person shouldn't have even been in the country.

Is it worse than a man dying, quite possibly because the intake staff information about his travel -- i.e. health history -- was not given to the MD's?

Fox news posted a picture of the cafeteria at noon in that hospital last week and it looked like a ghost town.

Dutch, you're asking the wrong guy to quantify the value of a life.
That's something the lawyers and courts do. Frequently.

Coming someday to a hospital near you. Better get your healthcare while you still can!
