If a patient does not show early response to early treatment and then begin to deteoriate with the predictable outcome death, why on earth was Duncan invasively intubated and put on a vent, given hemodialysis, probably had an A-line, numerous IVs, a foley catheter, NG tube, etc, etc. ; more opportunities for fatally infectious body fluids to exit the body and infect another. I really wonder if these heroic measures were done to compensate for initially sending Duncan home the first go around, or were they trying to keep him alive to buy time in the hopes of getting some experimental drug or serum from Ebola survivor Dr. Brantly to adminster to him.

Before any ebola patient in Dallas, the malpractice lawyers are always readily available regardless of ability to pay for lawyering, to sue the pants off any hospital or medical provider. Facts like nobody having a grip on Ebola yet do not matter to plaintiffs looking for money and the lawyers who empower them.
And then there are the Race Hustlers, who incite non-thinking people into screaming racism on every single malady that occurs to them, because there is money to be gotten from those claims, and in the always-brewing "Reparations" we supposedly owe the present-day "victims".
"The family of Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to die of Ebola on U.S. soil, joined the Rev. Jesse Jackson at his Rainbow Push headquarters to call foul on the treatment Mr. Duncan received.
They say the treatment Duncan received was at best ‘incompetent’ and at worst ‘racially motivated.’
Duncan passed away last week, but his mom and nephew spoke out at Rainbow Push’s weekly gathering today.
The family is asking why Duncan wasn’t moved to Emory University Hospital, where Dr. Kent Brantly and Dr. Nancy Writebol received life saving treatment for Ebola.
Duncan’s nephew now wants all of his uncle’s medical records, where he will have them reviewed by independent doctors and contagious disease experts.
However, doctors at Texas Presbyterian Hospital, where Duncan was treated, say their staff was ‘well-equipped’ to handle his case.
The whole ordeal has left Duncan’s mother heartbroken.
Family members say they are considering some form of legal action against the hospital where Duncan received treatment……"
