Ebola survivor Kent Brantly has donated blood to a fellow patient for the second time. This time, Brantly, a physician, donated blood to an NBC cameraman who also contracted the virus while working in Liberia.
How racist is that - Duncan doesn’t get transfusion, photojournalist white does. Screaming and howling any minute now.

I thought you could only donate blood every 40+ days or so. I’m surprised he is strong enough to donate blood.

...”How racist is that - Duncan doesn’t get transfusion, photojournalist white does. Screaming and howling any minute now”....

Yes Duncan was offered blood by the same guy.....the hospital was contacted regarding that.

People need to remember Duncan eyes were already blood shot when his niece called the ambulance, so he was already bleeding out. Some medications would make him worse, which is why “Z” was withheld and the other used in his case. These are all different patients at different places in how far Ebola has progressed in their system....it won’t be the same for each one because they may or may not have specifice symptoms.

These cries of racism before you know the facts sounds just like the Ferguson people.....further it makes the “cause” all the more insignificant.
