Family Says Ebola Victim Treated Unfairly

|


The family of the first person to die of  in the U.S. is upset with the patient's medical care, and called his treatment "unfair."

Thomas Eric Duncan, who is from Liberia, died today after being infected with the Ebola virus. He had been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, since his diagnosis on Sept. 28.

Duncan's nephew Joe Weeks told ABC News he felt Duncan had "unfair" medical treatment. Weeks suggested that Duncan did not get the same treatment being given to Ebola patient Ashoka Mukpo in a Nebraska hospital, although he did not detail that alleged difference.
