Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital has apparently been caught in a lie regarding their explanation yesterday about why Ebola patient Thomas Duncan was sent home.<\/p>\n
Officials there initially placed the responsibility on missing Duncan’s recent stay in Liberia on a faulty electronic medical records system. They maintained that the patient’s time in Liberia was recorded but that it was not in the physician notes section of the electronic health record.<\/p>\n
The hospital then spun an untruthful tale about taking immediate steps to change the “glitch” in the electronic chart to rectify the problem<\/p>\n
