ER doctor missed Ebola patient’s high fever
DALLAS (AP) - The Dallas
emergency-room doctor who
initially treated a Liberian man
infected with Ebola said he
didn’t know the man’s home
country or that he had a 103-de-
gree fever shortly before he left
the hospital.
Thomas Eric Duncan was re-
leased in the early hours of Sept.
26, about half an hour after his
medical records indicate he had
a fever that high — a key poten-
tial symptom of Ebola.
Dr. Joseph Howard Meier
told The Dallas Morning News
he didn’t see that temperature
reading on Duncan’s medical
chart.
“I was unaware of a 103-de-
gree fever,” Meier said in written
answers to questions released by
his attorney. “It appears in the
chart, but I did not see it.”
Duncan returned to Texas
Health Presbyterian Hospital
Dallas two days later in an am-
bulance and was quickly diag-
nosed with Ebola. He died Oct.
8.
Duncan’s sister and fiancee
have said he told medical staff in
the emergency room during that
first visit that he was from Libe-
ria, though the hospital’s medi-
cal records only indicate Dun-
can said he was from Africa.
The hospital has already ac-
knowledged mistakes in its care
of Duncan and said its records
system previously didn’t make a
patient’s travel history clear.
Duncan’s case set off a scram-
ble by authorities to monitor
dozens of people who potential-
ly had contact with him, includ-
ing in the days after his release
from the hospital. None of those
people ended up testing positive
for Ebola. Two Presbyterian
nurses were infected while treat-
ing him, but have since recov-
ered.
Meier said that had he
known Duncan was from Libe-
ria, “this would have prompted
me to contact the CDC [Centers
for Disease Control and Preven-
tion] and begin an evaluation
for Ebola.”
But he was less sure about
the 103-degree reading.
“Given what little informa-
tion I had, a 103 temperature
would most likely not have
helped with the diagnosis of
Ebola,” Meier said. “Although, if
it did not quickly improve, he
could have possibly been admit-
ted to the hospital.”
Asked about whether he
would do anything differently,
Meier said it was “virtually im-
possible” to say.
“Based on the information I
had at the time, I believe that the
care and treatment were appro-
priate,” he said.

claims
Allegations against
Cosby date back
at least 40 years
By Anthony McCartney
AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES - Any case
against Bill Cosby — who in re-
cent weeks has seen a flurry of
decades-old sexual assault alle-
gations, a lawsuit and a police
investigation into a molestation
claim — would rely on conflict-
ing testimony, and possibly ju-
rors’ emotions, legal experts say.
In a civil trial, Cosby might
have to face testimony from any
of the more than 15 women who
have accused him of various
forms of sexual misconduct dat-
ing back at least 40 years, said
Cynthia Bowman, a Cornell Law
School professor who has spe-
cialized in how the law treats
women. While any case dating
back decades
would hinge
on memories
that have fad-
ed with time,
Bowman said
she’s listened
to some of Cos-
by’s accusers
speak out —
and they could be credible wit-
nesses.
“A lot of these cases hinge on
he-said, she-said, anyway,” Bow-
man said.
“It strikes me that memory
for a traumatic event like this
seems to be pretty stark,” Bow-
man said. Most of these allega-
tions involved “relatively young
and impressionable girls,” she
said. “There’s an element of
shock and betrayal of trust.”
Since the allegations of sexu-
al assault by the comedian and
actor bubbled to the surface
again in early November, only
one woman, Judy Huth, has
sued, claiming Cosby molested
her 40 years ago when she was
15. Huth also gave a statement to
Los Angeles police, who opened
an investigation Friday. Los An-
geles Police Chief Charlie Beck
also said his department would
investigate any allegations
against Cosby, regardless of
whether a prosecution would be
barred by the statute of limita-
tions.
Cosby, 77, has never been
charged with a crime and settled
the only other sexual assault
case filed against him. In that
case filed by former Temple Uni-
versity worker Andrea Constand
in 2005, numerous women
were prepared to testify against
Cosby with their own stories of
alleged abuse. The most recent
round of accusations range from
claims of being groped to being
drugged and raped.
Cosby is the latest entertain-
ment figure to contend with
high-profile litigation accusing
him of sexual abuse. Oscar-
nominated actor John Travolta
and X-Men franchise director
Bryan Singer have been sued by
men accusing them of sexual
misconduct, although the cases
were dismissed before ever
reaching trial. The wife of 7th
Heaven actor Stephen Collins
has accused him in divorce pro-
ceedings of abusing underage
girls, although the actor has nev-
er been charged.
Some of the cases were dis-
missed after attorney Marty
Singer — who also represents
Cosby — demonstrated the ac-
cusers made inconsistent or in-
accurate statements in their
complaints.
