Josephus Weeks, nephew of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan, said his uncle died a needless death.
"He was a man of color with no health insurance and no means to pay for treatment, so within hours he was released," Weeks wrote in a Tuesday op-ed for the Dallas Morning News.
Weeks ripped into Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital where his uncle died, saying the medical facility's "ignorance, incompetence and indecency has yet to be explained."

Send Josephus his uncle Tom’s hospital bill.
So, how long can the two sides continue to live side by side, with attitudes like this?
Even if he were to get any money out of the hospital, Nina Pham could sue him for every penny.
So he helped the family attempt to get the woman into the Ebola ward of a hospital, but he had no idea she had Ebola:
“The family of the woman, Marthalene Williams, 19, took her by taxi to a hospital with Mr. Duncan’s help after failing to get an ambulance. Ms. Williams was turned away for lack of space in the hospital’s Ebola treatment ward, the family said, and they took her back home in the evening, hours before she died. Mr. Duncan helped carry her because she was no longer able to walk. In the taxi, Ms. Williams, who was seven months pregnant, had been convulsing.”
Until the markets puke up the fake money being used to pay the entitlements.
Then all hell will break loose.
YES.
DOCTORS have been fooled by pregnant women with Ebola. The virus attacks the oxygen/blood-rich placenta and liquifies the fetus. It’s horrible and the symptoms are NOT typical. The mortality rate for the fetus is 100% and, for the mom, 96-99.5%.
If a doctor can’t tell, how can the layman?
BTW (And this is where I am in a RAGE) the CDC has YET to acknowledge these facts and to warn that pregnant doctors and nurses should NEVER be NEAR a suspected Ebola patient.
Their incompetence makes me SICK.
Thank god for Free Republic. My wife is 5 months pregnant. This is the first I have heard out the mortality rate for pregnant women.
Pregnant women are the most vulnerable. The fetus will die and, odds are, that the mom will die too, even with life-saving treatment.
Google Ebola pregnancy fetus and look at the risks. They don’t stand a chance.
Turned away from a hospital for lack of space in its Ebola treatment ward, the family said it took Ms. Williams back home in the evening, and that she died hours later, around 3 a.m.
Mr. Duncan, who was a family friend and also a tenant in a house owned by the Williams family, rode in the taxi in the front passenger seat while Ms. Williams, her father and her brother, Sonny Boy, shared the back seat, her parents said. Mr. Duncan then helped carry Ms. Williams, who was no longer able to walk, back to the family home that evening, neighbors said.

Hey Josephus! Your “uncle” brought the deadly disease Ebola to America. He permanently “changed the world” and will make it into the history books. He made an Obama “Historical” Minute all by himself. You should be proud of your “uncle” little buddy and stop trashing America.
Marie, we are talking about different issues. My point is that the pregnant woman’s family, with Duncan’s help, was trying to get the woman committed to an Ebola ward. They weren’t turned away because the drs thought the woman was having a miscarriage but because there was no room in the ward. A couple of days later, while Duncan was still living at the same apt., the woman’s brother [who had helped carry her] died of Ebola. Her brother wouldn’t have died from complications resulting from a miscarriage.
My question is how did his family manage not to catch Ebola? It suggests that he suspected what he had from the very beginning of his symptoms and kept them away. He should’ve brought up the fact that he had not just been to Africa but he had been in direct contact with an Ebola infected in Liberia. This family is just trying to get a pay out. Their relative died and they now want a free ride.

They also lost their son (in an ambulance on his way to the hospital with ebola) who started getting sick at the same time as Mr. Duncan.
Some from there south end others from there mouth!
Again... if doctors aren’t sure of a pregnant woman’s diagnosis with labs and tests, then how can a passerby make a diagnosis?
Again... a doctor lost his wife and was positive that it was due to pregnancy complications. The autopsy showed Ebola. That’s a doctor who treats Ebola and HE couldn’t tell.
When those who have had close contact with the woman start dropping like flies, that is a big clue it is not a miscarriage but Ebola. People in close contact with the woman were dying before Duncan left Monrovia. He knew.
In a sign of how furiously the disease can spread, an ambulance had come to their house on Wednesday to pick up Sonny Boy. Another ambulance picked up a woman and her daughter from the same area, and a team of body collectors came to retrieve the body of yet another woman — all four appeared to have been infected in a chain reaction started by Marthalene Williams.
Coached by uncle Jesse. He better shut up..
