Obi Justina Ejelonu was one of those that treated Late Liberian
Patrick Sawyer who died of Ebola in Lagos .Justina and her colleagues gave
thanks to God for sparing them from contracting the virus but have tested
positive

“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 pressurize the US government to give Justina and others down
with the virus the same experimental drugs used for US doctors down with Ebola.
poor girl,I pray she survives this!
