Ebola Survivor Nina Pham Prepares to Sue the Hospital
Just when you were done hearing about Ebola
Remember Nina Pham? She was the first American to contract Ebola.
In fact, she was the face of the national pandemic after caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, the man who contracted the disease in Liberia. Today, she is alive (which is saying something), no longer working at Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas Hospital, on a menu of experimental drugs, and being treated with a weekly regimen of special follow-up care.
She is also preparing to sue her former employer for 37 pages worth of negligence and invasion of privacy.
The Dallas Morning News reports Pham, 26, believes the hospital and its parent company, Texas Health Resources, failed her and other colleagues who cared for Duncan.
