Newspaper: Nurse who survived Ebola says hospital failed her

DALLAS (AP) — A 26-year-old nurse said in a newspaper interview that a hospital where she had worked in Dallas and its parent company failed her when she contracted Ebola while caring for the first person in the U.S. diagnosed with the deadly disease. Pham alleged the hospital's lack of training and proper equipment and violations of her privacy made her "a symbol of corporate neglect — a casualty of a hospital system's failure to prepare for a known and impending medical crisis." Pham will ask in her lawsuit for unspecified damages for physical pain and mental anguish, medical expenses and loss of future earnings. [...] she said that she wants to make hospitals and big corporations realize that nurses and health care workers, especially front line people, are important. [...] we don't want nurses to start turning into patients.
