SMH: Patrick Sawyer, Liberian With Ebola URINATED With Rage On Health Workers

This is disturbing, it has been revealed that the
Liberian, Patrick Sawyer URINATED on Health
Workers with rage Who Told Him he Had
Ebola!
According 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:
Quote
"...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.
