This is disturbing, it has been revealed that the Liberian, Patrick
Sawyer URINATED on Health Workers with rage Who Told Him he Had Ebola!
to FrontPage Africa, the last acts of Patrick Sawyer, the Ebola
infected Liberian who died in Lagos, might have resulted in the
transfer of the virus to innocent health workers.
Mr. Sawyer is said to have had an "indiscipline" encounter with
nurses and health workers at the First Consultants Hospital inObalende
where he was being treated.
According to the report, Mr. Sawyer was asked if he had come into
contact with anyone who had the virus but he answered in the negative.
Doctors at the hospital decided to test him anyway and when
they told him he had Ebola, he allegedly went into a rage and urinated
on the health workers attending to him.
FrontPage Africa reports:
"...Upon being told he had Ebola, Mr. Sawyer went into a rage,
denying and objecting to the opinion of the medical experts. “He was so
adamant and difficult that he took the tubes from his body and took off
his pants and urinated on the health workers, forcing them to flee."
The hospital would later report that it resisted immense
pressure to let out Sawyer from its hospital against the insistence
from some higher-ups and conference organizers that he had a key role
to play at the ECOWAS convention in Calabar, the Cross River State
capital.
In fact, FrontPageAfrica has been informed that officials in
Monrovia were in negotiations with ECOWAS to have Sawyer flown back to
Liberia.
A text message in possession of FrontPageAfrica from the ECOWAS
Ambassador in Liberia, responding to a senior GoL official reads: Your
Excellency, the disease control department of the Federal Ministry of
Health just contacted me through the hospital now, insisting that Mr.
Sawyer be evacuated for now. Pls advise urgently.”
FrontPageAfrica has now learnt that Sawyer exhibited similar
indiscipline behavior during his sister’s stay at the Catholic Hospital
in Monrovia where she was taken because he noticed she was bleeding
profusely and was later found to be a victim of Ebola.
Sawyer was seen with blood on his clothing after his sister’s death and
had earlier demanded that she be placed in a private room.
President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf cited indiscipline and
disrespect as a key reason why Sawyer contracted the Ebola virus. She
said his failure to heed medical advice put the lives of other
residents across the nation’s border at risk.
As one of the nurses who treated Sawyer died today, fears are currently
being fanned in the country with some people suggesting that he might
have knowingly spread the disease.
The Nigerian Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu has
confirmed 7 cases of the disease and has assured that urgent measures
are being put in place to ensure that the virus does not spread
further.
