NPR reported that Duncan carried the woman while she was “bleeding profusely from her mouth”
“She saw him carry the landlord’s pregnant daughter into her house
just days before he left for the United States. The girl was bleeding
profusely from her mouth and could no longer walk, says Seyou.
“Eric helped the family,” she says. “He carried her inside.”
Perhaps someone can suggest a reason why Duncan’s neighbor in Liberia would lie about this; Weeks’ should be obvious.

Duncan knew.
I do have to say that there is a story of a doctor who’s pregnant wife died. He thought she died from pregnancy complications, but it turns out that it was ebola.
This disease behaves completely different in a pregnant body. The horror stories of what is does to a fetus are beyond description.
No. You do not know for sure that a pregnant woman has ebola.
I am frustrated that people on this same thread are mocking the nephew and asking, ‘where’s he get a medical degree’ then blaming Duncan for not giving an accurate diagnosis for a specific situation that has fooled actual doctors.
With that said, is the story even true? The nephew is saying that the whole pregnant woman story never happened. Where did that story originate?
One final thought: After witnessing the clown show in Dallas surrounding everything about this case, is it really beyond the realm of possibility that Duncan’s illness was mismanaged? *Everything* was mismanaged. Honestly, I can’t think of ONE thing that the officials did *right* in this case.
So we’re supposed to believe that, although they screwed up *everything* *else* they were Johnny on the spot when it came to actually treating the patient....
Right.
