What makes me so furious is I had a diagnostic mammogram in early September at Cass Imaging at Baylor University Hospital Dallas and was TWICE asked if I had a fever and about my travel history to Africa - once on a form placed on each of the patient check-in desks and again by the Patient Intake worker. And I was just going in for a breast test. I can only imagine what an interface in the ER with flu-like symptoms would be like at Baylor!

Wonder why in the world Presby never asked this guy his travel history once he presented with flu-like symptoms?!?!?! That just burns me up as the media is reporting he was never asked about his travel history and Presbyterian Hospital Dallas isn't refuting that shameful allegation so far. Betcha they are asking now! I just hope their lack of sound clinical practices doesn't cost someone a horrible, possible fatal case of Ebola.

The difference in hospital protocols just amazes me and one reason I always go to Baylor Dallas, given a choice.

My prayers go out to that patient in Presbyterian Hospital, his family, hospital personnel and all who had contact with him during those 4 days he was contagious and not in isolation.
