I wondered how our girl Nina is doing.

About a year after my last post, she and her lawyers settled with the hospital, for an undisclosed amount.


It's really nuts, reading the details of how the hospital sent her in to treat the Ebola patient (who died a day later, before she developed symptoms 2 days after treating him), and gave her no training, and virtually no protective equipment before sending Pham in to treat him.
She was not even given facilities to shower in the hospital or a change of clothes after treating him. She had to wear the same exposed clothes home, and inadvertantly exposed friends and family to potential Ebola infection too.

( "Oh yeah, you can go in and treat him, don't worry, you'll be fine..." )
Assurances given to her by those above her, who had no training or knowledge themselves about how to safely treat Ebola.

And years later, her life will never be the same.
Whatever the legal settlement paid by the hospital, it's not nearly enough.
