It seems that a few figurative tumbleweeds are blowing across the doors of Texas Health Presbyterian since Ebola Patient Zero Thomas Eric Duncan died of Ebola, and two of his nurses subsequently contracted the virus.
“It feels like a ghost town. No one is even walking around the hospital,” local health care vendor Rachelle Cohorn told WFAA.

To weather the storm, the hospital will need to convince people that Texas Health Presbyterian is still a safe hospital, said Dr. Dan Varga, the chief clinical officer of Texas Health Resources, which owns the Dallas hospital.
“I would tell this community that Presby is an absolutely safe hospital to come to,” Varga told ABC News chief health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser on Thursday. “We’ve been in communication with our doctors that have their private offices in our professional buildings around the campus who are getting 40, 50, 60 percent cancellations just for fear of being somewhere in the geography of the hospital where Ebola is treated.”
No one wants to go there. Who can blame them?
