Dallas Hospital That Treated First US Ebola Patient: 'We Made Mistakes'

Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas, the hospital that treated the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the US, has for the first time apologized for its mishandling the case.

Here's a portion of the testimony that Dr. Daniel Varga, the hospital's chief clinical officer will deliver to a congressional oversight committee on Thursday:

It's hard for me to put into words how we felt when our patient Thomas Eric Duncan lost his struggle with Ebola on October 8. It was devastating to the nurses, doctors, and team who tried so hard to save his life. We keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately, in our initial treatment of Mr. Duncan, despite our best intentions and a highly skilled medical team, we made mistakes. We did not correctly diagnose his symptoms as those of Ebola. We are deeply sorry.

We first saw this reported by Janet St. James.
