Patients Return To Dallas Hospital Where Ebola Hit

The Dallas hospital where a man diagnosed with Ebola died and two nurses were infected by the virus says patients are returning and revenue is back to what it was before the crisis.

In a financial statement Friday, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas said that from Dec. 1-15, emergency room visits were down by about 4 percent and the daily number of patients was down about 2 percent. For the month of October, a period that started shortly after Thomas Eric Duncan was admitted, the hospital saw a drop in ER visits of about 49 percent and a drop in patients of about 22 percent.

The hospital also saw an about 25 percent drop in revenue in October.

Duncan died on Oct. 8. The two nurses recovered.
