Someone should tell them that the EVIL WHITE CHRISTIAN, Franklin Graham, PAID for the ZMAPP given to the Samaritan people, out of his own (the org’s) pocket.

I’m SURE they could have come up with the ONE MILLION DOLLARS for a dose, doncha think?

He brought ebola into the country and it’s all our fault?

And Mr. Duncan and his family will pay how much for his treatment?

To those considering a lawsuit: No one had died of Ebola in the US before, correct. There had never been a case of infection in the wild in the US before Mr. Duncan flew here, either, with his likely knowing he was infected.

Rage and complain and make all the demands you want, you can’t name another country that would have done better by him.

And, if you want to talk damages, by all means. Let’s talk about the expense incurred not just for treating Mr. Duncan but the decontamination, dislocation, other potentially infected individuals directly traceable to Mr. Duncan and the ongoing economic costs associated with all the above.

After weighing all the considerations, I’m sure we can work out some sort of repayment schedule for you.

Duh, no idiot has brought it to US shores other than the idiot in the white hut and Duncan.

Lunacy. A Blood transfusion would have been a waste of the donated blood.

ZMAPP is not a guaranteed “Cure”, and is likely only useful in the initial stages of infection.

A significant attempt was supposedly undertaken to save his life from an aggressive virus that kills the majority of those infected with this virus, but due to what was killing him, the attempt did not succeed.

A lawsuit is a waste of time and resources, but I have no doubt that unscrupulous lawyers will successfully extract some settlement from cowardly defenders who would rather not face bad “PR”, which is a shame since such an absurd lawsuit should be laughed out of any sane court in this country.

Honestly, this is just another step towards an inevitable Second Civil War that MUST occur to stop the insanity gripping this country and fueled by ambulance chasing lawyers (from this context). There a many more vectors directing us towards National internal conflict, but this vector is a significant one, IMO.

The family of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan are venting their outrage that the late Liberian may not have received the same quality of care leading up to his death Wednesday morning as other patients treated in the U.S. for the dreaded virus.

This is known as the "Jesse Jackson effect." Where ever Jesse Jackson goes, baseless lawsuits are sure to follow. What percentage is Jesse demanding?

let these ingrates try suing and I can see them being sued by any who came in contact with them and Duncan.

This article has some gross inaccuracies ...

There are not 5 Ebola cases in America per se.... Good grief Duncan was the only case of Ebola brought to America ‘in the wild’ not under controlled conditions - where the patients also had begun good treatment in Africa. They had a head start to save their lives...And the number 5 is wrong.. other cases - except for the Aid Workers brought here were not diagnosed with Ebola.

Anyone know how much of our Tax Dollars were spent treating a guy who LIED his way into our Country and exposed God knows how any many people with his selfish actions?

I am also wondering if his “relatives” were Illegal Invaders who over stayed their Visas. Haven’t heard a peep about that one way or the other.

Yeah, I must be a Bigot for asking such obvious questions.

When I had a cardiac arrest, my only symptoms were nausea and vomiting. I didn't have the usual sign of intense chest pain and pressure. So naturally, the ER staff thought I had the flu. I thought I had the flu. I could not reasonably expect the ER staff to diagnose a coronary.

Same with Duncan. He showed up at the ER with fever and other flu-like symptoms. We never had Ebola in this country before. How could anyone reasonably expect the ER to diagnose Duncan with Ebola?

I used to work for lawyers. Often, these attorneys defended doctors and hospitals from medical malpractice lawsuits. Some of these lawsuits were justified, but cases like this are just extortion rackets. If Obama really wanted to reform health care, he should have built in reforms designed to curb frivolous medical malpractice suits which cost American consumers billions per year. We, not the hospitals, are the ones who pay through the nose for these ridiculous claims.

His treatment would have been expedited if he had come out and TOLD the doctor(s) he saw that he had been exposed to Ebola. As he knew very well he had been.

A thousand whites can die next and the same blacks will still demand the black president start an investigation of racism.

The deceased lied about being exposed to ebola.
