Hauling her off to Maryland might have had something to do with any decline. Or, it could be that some deterioration was expected and a better-equipped facility was required.
I wondered from the beginning why she wasn’t moved to a Level 4 containment facility.
Also, the Dallas hospital is open for business. It is a “for profit” business.
The place she went to is fully equipped and patients there are paid for by taxpayers. They did say she would not have to pay.
I heard that with Ebola, sometimes a person appears to get “better” and then takes a turn for the worse. In Miss Pham’s case, she received a blood transfusion from Dr. Brantley. Even blood transfusions are not always helpful in treating Ebola, but in this case Dr. Brantley had the additional antibodies in his blood deriving from the ZMapp he received - which may very well be why Miss Pham is still alive and recovering - albeit slowly.
I pray that she fully recovers.
I believe they can use experimental treatments at NIH that local hospitals cannot use.
