Dallas Ebola patient was originally sent home from hospital with useless antibiotics, feeding superbug epidemic

When “patient zero” first showed up at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas with what have now been determined to be some of the early symptoms of Ebola, he was reportedly turned away by hospital staff, who handed him a regimen of antibiotics and told him to basically just go home and sleep it off.
Besides its uselessness for the task at hand — antibiotics obviously don’t work against Ebola — this common medical reflex is a perfect example of the type of rampant antibiotic abuse that leads to the proliferation of “superbugs.” And it could be the same action that, once again, sparks another widespread pandemic.
According to Bloomberg, Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian national who inaugurated the arrival of Ebola into the U.S., had attempted to admit himself to Presbyterian Hospital two days after he began to develop symptoms on September 24. Duncan first arrived in the U.S. just four days prior on September 20.
Officials say he most likely came into contact with between 12 and 18 other people during that small window of time. But up to 100 individuals in the Dallas area are now being monitored to see if they develop symptoms.
