Nurse's post-Ebola life — terrible side effects, lawsuit against employer 3/1/15 via Dallas News

[*GG*]

The 26-year-old nurse says she has nightmares, body aches and insomnia as a result of contracting the disease from a patient she cared for last fall at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.

She says the hospital and its parent company, Texas Health Resources, failed her and her colleagues who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person in the United States diagnosed with Ebola.

Well I guess if you get infected with Ebola you're a perfect ME/CFS candidate.. :-|

If she also sues any drug maker, that could lead the drug maker to make the defense that many/most of her symptoms are really post-viral in general or post-ebola in particular. That might lead to some unexpected legal precedent, you never know.

Aside from saying that the hospital was negligent, she does seem to be blaming the Rx rather than post-viral effects.

An intensive care unit nurse who survived her fight against Ebola has claimed the treatment has made her hair fall out, causes insomnia and has damaged her social life.

Miss Pham also fears that her health will be constantly effected by the experimental drugs she was given and is already suffering aches, pains and fatigue.

If she has a glass of wine at dinner, she will always feel sick, and she constantly has nightmares about her ordeal.

I believe this one following was mentioned in a post-ebola thread here, with no experimental drugs being involved.

Doctors have also warned her to check for signs of vision loss as well as sensory and organ failure.
