<P>The reaction to the care and treatment of Thomas Duncan, and the subsequent transmission to two of the nurses on his care team, have caused several hospitals to question the extent to which they are obligated to treat Ebola patients. Discussions on curtailing treatment are underway at Geisinger Health System, which operates hospitals in Pennsylvania, and Intermountain Healthcare, which runs facilities in Utah, according to their spokesmen. Their concern surrounds the reality that understaffed and poorly equipped hospitals performing invasive procedures, like renal dialysis and intubation, both of which Duncan received at Texas Presbyterian, could put staff at too much risk for contracting the virus. <A href="/wiki/Emory_University_Hospital" title="Emory University Hospital">Emory University Hospital</A> in Atlanta also used renal dialysis in treating patients at their biocontainment unit, but no health care workers became infected.<SUP id="cite_ref-54" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-54">[52]</A></SUP> In October 2014 <A href="/wiki/Vickery_Meadow" class="mw-redirect" title="Vickery Meadow">Vickery Meadow</A> residents stated that people were discriminating against them because of the incident.<SUP id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-55">[53]</A></SUP></P>

A second set of teams will prep hospitals in cities deemed most likely to see an Ebola virus case. Three of those teams are already operating. In announcing the formation of the teams, President Obama explained, "We want a rapid response team, a SWAT team essentially, from the CDC to be on the ground as quickly as possible, hopefully within 24 hours, so that they are taking the local hospital step by step through what needs to be done.” The CDC has developed two sets of teams, identified by the acronyms CERT (CDC Ebola Response Team) and FAST (Facility Assessment and Support Teams). The CERTs have 10 to 20 people each, who can be sent to a hospital with a suspected and/or laboratory confirmed Ebola virus case. The teams are drawn from 100 CDC workers and others.

"In a region like this, you go out three times, you ride the subway, you ride the bus, you could affect hundreds of people."
