1. Duncan knew he had been exposed to Ebola. Nothing that the hospital did or could have done would change his risk picture. He was already sick.
2. Prior to his visit to the hospital, the family had already been exposed. The hospital did nothing that increased their risk.
3. If the hospital carriers workers compensation insurance, that is the sole remedy available to the hospital staff. If not, the liability exposure is still minimal.
If anyone is at risk for a liability suit, it is Duncan. He knowingly exposed numerous people to Ebola based on his activities in Liberia.
@RRM:
On 3. the hospital may have “opted out” of WC. Texas is one of 2 or 3 states where that is possible. Since they are health care professionals, its possible they may have. One of the reasons to do it is if you want more control over health care benefits. When doing so, you lose the sole remedy status.
I believe that facts prove that Texas hospitals invited this Ebola Crisis and are part of a proven documented system of intentionally inserting errors and outright lies in reports and dismissing the most significantly catastrophically injured patients routinely in collusion with Texas Mutual Insurance, and Brian C. Buck “M.D.” and the evil alliances with Coventry Work Comp Florida, and Texas Work Comp Systems from Hell proven documented and intentionally ignored by Perry and Bordelon, see NY Times Jay Root “Disposable Workers” and Carolyn Arambula San Antonio Texas Center for Injured Workers.

He should be charged with a crime, jailed or deported, and then billed for clean-up costs.
Where was it, Germany(?), that he came from. I think their interested in pusruing him for LYING on his customs forms too.
