Texas Presbyterian Hospital backtracks on its explanation about how Mr Duncan could have been sent home after his first ER visit.

At first, the hospital issued a statement saying basically that nurses and doctors see different information from their electronic health records system and that the physician was not able to see the notation about recent travel from Liberia.

However, the hospital then issued a new statement yesterday explaining that actually, the physician could see the travel history notation. No further comment from the hospital.
