They might have been able to treat him, had he not waited four days when he knew he was sick.
What an ungrateful self-centered bastard.....
I guess that makes Liberia a nation of racists.
“The biggest unanswered question about my uncle’s death is why the hospital would send home a patient with a 103-degree fever and stomach pains who had recently been in Liberia”
Perhaps because he had not signed up for Obamacare?
Josephus- take it up with Obola- if you can get an appointment. Your best bet is to take up golf, maybe you play with him on threesome, or foursome.
Would he have been sent home if he said there was a very good chance he’d been exposed to Ebola?
Presbyterian Hospital spent $500,000 treating Thomas Duncan. What is racist about that?
That is how much on his direct treatment. They had to shut down an entire ward, and turn away other patients as a result. They probably lost 2-3 million because of that.
Josephus,
I’ve paid for my health insurance my entire adult life. If you uncle didn’t have it, he was owed nothing.
I have paid taxes my entire adult life, we are not picking up the healthcare tab (or welfare) for the entire globe. Why do you feel that people like me should pay his bills?
Also, seems your uncle’s story is changing a lot.
is there anyone in that family not looking for a payday?
Maybe some 8th cousin who doesn’t yet realize he’s related.
bump
We should sue him for bringing it here in the first place!
Yes, and if he'd followed Moochelle's lunch plan maybe he'd still be here.
Uncle Duncan sucked up $500k of free healthcare as he circled the drain.
Jumping Josephus! Where's the gratitude?!
I am seeing a slip-and-fall artist trolling for lawsuit bucks. Joseph Weeks reads like a dishonorable man.
media always writes this crap as if the guns themselves kill people, or the car itself drives off the road.
let’s just treat ebola that way.
EBOLA is racist. It originated in West Africa, where most people are blacks. It obviously targeted blacks because they’re black.
Doctors aren’t racist. EBOLA is racist. (let’s ignore it’s infected others who aren’t black too).
This jerk and the MSM keep blaming the Presby Hospital.
The ER there is run by a private contractor, Texas Health Resources, NOT the hospital. The ER sent him home after his first visit.
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
But he was able to afford a flight from Liberia to Texas. So that means he could afford health insurance.
Had the hospital assumed Duncan had ebola this first visit then Weeks would be trashing the hospital for assuming sick Africans have ebola.
