Ebola victim’s nephew speaks: The system killed him
New York Post ^ | October 16, 2014 | Josephus Weeks

On Friday, Sept. 25, 2014, my uncle Thomas Eric Duncan went to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. He had a high fever and stomach pains. He told the nurse he had recently been in Liberia. But he was a man of color with no health insurance and no means to pay for treatment, so within hours, he was released with some antibiotics and Tylenol. Two days later, he returned to the hospital in an ambulance. Two days after that, he was finally diagnosed with Ebola. Eight days later, he died alone in a hospital room. Now, Dallas suffers. Our country is concerned. Greatly. About the lack of answers and transparency coming from a hospital whose ignorance, incompetence and indecency has yet to be explained. I write this on behalf of my family because we want to set the record straight about what happened and ensure that Thomas Eric did not die in vain. So, here’s the truth about my uncle and his battle with Ebola.

Still no plan put forward to pay his uncles medical bills, nor why his uncle lied to get into the US. Nor apology for bring Ebola to the US and infecting others with it.

Simple answer: Deport the whole extended family back to Africa.

His uncle is going to cost this country a fortune financially, and untold anguish emotionally and this brat wants money to shut up and go away.
Hey Jo, how about we just not bill you for your uncle’s medical bills and call it even?

“That article is suspiciously well-written.”

Last night on Fox, Whorealdo used almost the exact same verbiage as the article:

“...he was a man of color with no health insurance and no means to pay for treatment, so within hours, he was released with some antibiotics and Tylenol.”

They certainly are free to file a lawsuit but I hope they don’t hold their breath waiting for a settlement in Texas.

“.... my uncle Thomas Eric Duncan went to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.”

.
Duncan probably went to the ER and had to wait for hours before seeing a physician.

During that time he must have used the toilet several times and rubbed shoulders with others in the waiting room.

If they do come to the US, let them all file through the White Hut first.

Bambi will shut down the borders as fast as a Liberian heartbeat.

Good idea. It would be great if they had to stay at the White Hut for at least 21 days to make sure they’re not carrying.

Your Dad was a murdering, self serving, tool.

He turned into a boil and the doctors rightly lanced him.

Too bad, so sad, buh bye...

The system did fail, miserably. Duncan should never have been granted an entry VISA or allowed to enter a plane bound for the US.

I don’t believe that dude wrote the article. I don’t think Jesse J did either.

So who was the ghost writer?
