Jesse Jackson Questions Level Of Care For Ebola Patient
DALLAS — National civil rights leader Jesse Jackson visited Dallas Tuesday to see first-hand how Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan is being cared for at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
Rev. Jackson said he came at the request of Duncan's family, who told him they were not getting enough information from the doctors, and that Duncan was not getting the best care America had to offer.
In the morning, Jackson compared Duncan's care to what American-born Ebola patients have received at other U.S. hospitals.
"It seems the way we treated the Americans in Georgia and Nebraska is different than the way we treated a victim here in Dallas," Jackson said.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas responded quickly with this statement:
"He was treated the way any other patient would have been treated, regardless of nationality or ability to pay for care. We have a long history of treating a multi-cultural community in this area."
