SARS COMES TO AMERICA
And its first stop appears to be Maryland.A 40-year-old Baltimore doctor who developed symptoms of SARS after a trip to Toronto was admitted Wednesday to Johns Hopkins Hospital -- two days after he showed up sick for work at another local hospital and was sent home.
Health officials said the doctor, a resident at Sinai Hospital working a rotation at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, did not come into contact with patients while he was on the job Monday, although his supervisor was sent home as a precaution.
Great. Last year we had snipers, and this year we get SARS. A wonderful place, Maryland.
