One of the Nurses that treated
Liberian Patrick Sawyer who
died of Ebola Virus Disease (EBV), Obi Justina Ejelonu and her
colleagues gave
thanks to God for sparing them from contracting the virus but have
tested
positive. Read full details of what she shared this on her social media
handle. "I never contacted his fluids . I checked his Vitals, helped him
with his
food.(he was too weak)…..i basically touched where his hands touched and
dats d
only contact. not directly wt his fluids.@a stage, he yanked off his
infusion
and we had blood everywhere on his bed…..but d ward maids took care of
that and
changed his linens with great precaution. Every patient is treated as
high risk
….if it were airborne, by now wahala for dey. I still thank God."

"Friends, up to our uniforms n all linens were burnt off. we
r on surveillance n off work till 11th.Our samples v long bn taken by WHO n so
far we v been fine.
"For me, kudos to my hospital managt cos we work
proffessionally wt every patient considered risk cos that’s d training. had it
been its a hospital where they manage ordinar gloves lik Govt hospital n some
janjaweed private hosp..:lol….wahala for dey o.i must also thank Lagos
Govt….infact! Even fed govt sef….all been supportive. im good n so r the others
in d hosp….."
Justina went into quarantine after that post and has now
tested positive to Ebola. Some Nigerians however have started an online
campaign to pressurise the US government to give Justina and others down with
the virus the same experimental drugs used for US doctors down with Ebola.
