Who Is Louise Troh? Fiancée Of Dallas Ebola Patient Thomas Duncan Will Write Book About Experience
International Business Times ^ | October 20, 2014 | Philip Ross

When Thomas Duncan flew to the U.S. from Liberia in September, it was to marry his longtime girlfriend and fiancée, 54-year-old Louise Troh. Now, 12 days after Duncan died from Ebola at a hospital in Dallas, Troh will be released from quarantine, and she plans to write a book about her experience, according to CNN.

“I do have a story to tell, and I look forward to telling it in my own way at the right time,” Troh, who is a nurse’s assistant at a nursing home, said in a statement on Sunday. She added that even though the quarantine is over, she and her family “will not give any interview at this time.”

During the time Duncan was showing symptoms of Ebola, Troh checked Duncan’s vital signs before calling for an ambulance. He died Oct. 8. Troh was placed in quarantine after Duncan’s positive diagnosis, along with several other people who had contact with him. They spent much of their time in isolation talking to relatives on the outside, on laptops, playing video games and reading the Bible, according to Bloomberg.

She said she was saddened to hear that two of the nurses who treated Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital had become ill. “My beloved fiancé ... did not survive with us. ...

CHA-CHING. Lottery winner. Never let a racial crisis go to waste. Get the lawyers, sue somebody, write a book, go on the daily talk shows, hang out with Trayvon’s parents, and learn to look sad on camera.

Paid by pharmaceutical company to fly into the U.S. after they had developed a vaccine for it. After all the U.S. government does have a patent on one of the variants of Ebola so it’s not really that far of a stretch.

Sounds like a very short book, and a story of illegal entry that has been told by millions before.

I can see this book selling maybe 10,000 copies, and then that’s it. Maybe an interview on the Today Show and some Sixty Minutes gig.....but public interest will be gone on this story in a matter of two months.

Catholic services - like the ones that delivered the dear illegals across our country this summer.

I am not believing any of the “official” story about Duncan, this “fiance”, and family.

I heard the pastor of her supposed church being interviewed on a Christian radio station on my way to work yesterday, asking for understanding and prayers for her.

Something didn’t sit right, can’t put my finger on it exactly. Opportunists come in all shapes and colors and sizes, and it seems like this pastor is looking for his 15 minutes of fame, sad to say.

The book may be short, but it will be written in cursive.
