Ebola: Eric Thomas Duncan is Dead

Eric Thomas Duncan is Dead. He is the first person to be diagnosed with the virus and yes the first death from the virus in an American soil.
American is reputed and hold claims to have got the best medical services and personnel in the World. With this death many would want to question that position as many flaws have been observed from the way the Hospital at Dallas handled this case ab initio. The Hospital staff sent him home when he should have received care at the early stage of disease and perhaps may have survived the virus infection.

After the cut is the statement from the Hospital..................



"It is with profound sadness and heartfelt disappointment that we must inform you of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan this morning at 7:51 am," a hospital spokesperson said. "Mr. Duncan succumbed to an insidious disease, Ebola. He fought courageously in this battle. Our professionals, the doctors and nurses in the unit, as well as the entire Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas community, are also grieving his passing. We have offered the family our support and condolences at this difficult time."

Reports also had it that It's not clear exactly when or where Duncan contracted the disease, but in mid-September he had assisted a woman in Liberia who later died of Ebola. Duncan and others had helped bring Marthalene Williams, 19, to the hospital.

Duncan arrived in Dallas on Sept. 20 to visit his partner, Louise Troh. On Sept. 25, after he complained of a fever and abdominal pain, Troh drove him to the Texas hospital, where health care workers sent him home with antibiotics. It was only after his condition worsened days later that he was taken back to the hospital in an ambulance and placed in isolation.

My his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen
