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.

I’m pretty sure many members of this family are in this country illegally. Back to Liberia with the lot of you.
His “family”???????? n Wasn’t this liar alien invader not married to any of these parasites?
Duncan lied to get on a flight to come here with a deadly disease, he endangered EMTs, LEOs, hospital workers, the people living in an entire apartment complex and God knows who else, never mind his own family. Send his ungrateful, yowling family the BILL for his care, and if any of the aforementioned people get ebola, sue his family until they wish they’d bought a plane ticket back to Liberia.
And just for good measure, sue Jesse Jackson right now for anything a lawyer can dream up...
Haven’t we all had enough of this s*** yet?
He got “free” treatment, not “unfair” treatment.
Ebola is racist...it kills blacks not whites...oh wait, Ebola is in Africa and because those countries aren’t exactly the best provider of healthcare.
They can pay his half million ++++ hospital bill first or let’s deport them. (in my dreams) I’m so damn sick & tired of this racism cr@p — they are bringing all blacks back to the 50’s because people are sick of them.
You are correct-it does appear that the race hustlers are about to jump the shark-I grew up color blind in SW Texas-my dad was career military, and I’m of Latino ancestry-but I can sure can see this is headed to REAL tired...
They already jumped the shark when they said OJ was framed
Ebola guy is a freakin foreign parasite who got free care worth at least half a million dollars here....and this is what these maggots do. Make it racial?
Did anyone just hear Geraldo on with Erick Bolling subbing for O’Reilly? He is fanning the racism flames, it’s disgusting. He says hospitals are racist and probably sent the 0bola guy away because he was black. I wanted to reach through TV and slap him.
He lied, really? That woman he helped had malaria, according to her family. Malaria is common in Africa, and people die of it all the time--around 600,000 people, in fact. So if she died of what he thought was malaria, and he later said he had no contact with anyone who had Ebola, how is that lying?
The hospital should have admitted him the moment he showed up with a fever and said he came from Liberia. Since the hospital didn't, and survival chances are increased if treatment is started right away, his family *does* have a case against the hospital. On the experimental drugs, they don't have a case, because there is no proof that anyone who survived did so because of the drug. He received an experimental drug, too. There are reasons a drug like the one he was given probably wouldn't work--but no one in the general public is going to know that, or understand the reasons.
Thanks for the ping!
