A nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, who cared for an Ebola-stricken colleague, has revealed today that medical staff were woefully ill-prepared for the crisis and even given supposed protective clothing with gaping holes at the neck. Briana Aguirre, who has worked at the Dallas hospital for three years, admitted to Today that Ebola had not even come up in conversation prior to the arrival of 'patient zero' Thomas Duncan at the facility last month. She said: 'We never talked about Ebola...we were never told what to look for.'
