Nina Pham, Nurse Who Survived Ebola, Plans to Sue the Hospital That Failed Her
Nina Pham, nurse who survived Ebola, plans to sue the hospital that failed her – Nina Pham, a 26-year-old nurse who contracted Ebola while caring for the first person in the United States diagnosed with the deadly disease, Thomas Duncan, said that a hospital where she worked in Dallas and its parent company failed her.
Pham told The Dallas Morning News in an interview that she is preparing to file a lawsuit Monday in Dallas County against Texas Health Resources. She said she continues to suffer from body aches and insomnia after contracting the disease from a patient she cared for last fall at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
Pham alleged the hospital’s lack of training and proper equipment and violations of her privacy made her “a symbol of corporate neglect — a casualty of a hospital system’s failure to prepare for a known and impending medical crisis.”
