Experimental drugs and special care helped make Nina Pham Ebola free. But today she fears she may never escape the deadly disease.
The lawsuit filed on Monday in Dallas County against Texas Health Resources asserts, in part, that Ms. Pham became "a symbol of corporate neglect -- a casualty of a hospital system's failure to prepare for a known and impending medical crisis".
Comments
I find the fact that she's filed suit less interesting than the story as a whole (although the privacy issues she alleges are surprising).
What does strike me are the long-term repercussions - physical, mental, emotional and societal - that might naturally arise from being an Ebola survivor. Experimental drugs are, by their very nature, shrouded by the unknown. Lingering quality of life questions beyond physical health abound. And what of the inevitable stigma?

I hope she wins her case.
