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 the other patients treated in the U.S. for the dreaded virus.
'No one has died of Ebola in the U.S. before. This is the first time,' Duncan's furious nephew Joe Weeks told ABC.
Weeks and others in Duncan's family are calling his treatment 'unfair,' after seeing other patients pulled from the brink of death in government-funded evacuation planes and using life-saving blood transfusions and cutting edge drugs.
Five US citizens have been diagnosed with Ebola and three of them have beaten it. NBC News cameraman Ashoka Mukpo, the latest American victim, arrived at the infectious disease ward at the University of Nebraska Medical Center this week for treatment. A fourth victim, a World Health Organization doctor, is being treated in Atlanta.

Full title: "'Why did my uncle die of Ebola while every other patient treated in America has survived?' Now relatives say Dallas virus victim Eric Thomas Duncan received 'unfair' treatment"
Ingrates and this jerk brought this disease into the United States. Then this whining starts with Jesse Jackson in tow.

I smell a massive lawsuit coming. I’ll bet Holder’s Department of Justus clowns are already writing it up.

I agree, fair treatment would have been to deport him back to Africa.
They can make up for it by deporting those with expired visas.

Has anyone suggested that he was simply too far along?

He received FREE treatment. And he’s not even a citizen. Those of us who live here have to shell out hard-earned cash for policies stuffed with fluff we’ll never need nor want.
Send the family a bill for the cost of every service from medical treatment to cleaning the apartment. Then they’ll have something to squawk about!

“smelling green”
They are nuts if they don’t think that every pharmaceutical drug company wants to be the first to come up with a treatment. That’s where the bucks are.

Bull. He knowingly concealed his exposure to Ebola, brought it to the US, and has dangered many other people. If any of his ungrateful family participated in this conspiracy, they should be brought up on charges and locked up.

I don’t suppose any of those liberal social workers will push these people in paying the $500,000 they owe the hospital

this idiot dying was maybe the best thing that could of happened. The last thing the US needs is for everyone with Ebola to start catching a plane here because our hospitals can supposedly cure this!
