Ok, this is a huge point, IMO. I thought he told the nurse (the first time) that he had just come from Liberia but that info did not get passed on to the Dr?
He mentioned Liberia in passing when asked for a Social Security number, but neglected to mention he'd handled a dying woman/possible Ebola/malaria. Yes, the hospital screwed up too by not pursuing this information, making the connection that he was highly contagious, but it was his responsibility to make sure it was clear. He never uttered the words "Ebola/malaria" or people would've been running to get him into isolation!!!
