Another Texas health care worker tests positive for Ebola


This is just sad!!!!! A second health care worker at the Texas Presbyterian Hospital has tested positive to the Ebola virus, just a few days after nurse Nina Pham tested positive. The health care worker is said to have been on those who attended to late Thomas Duncan, the Liberian who brought Ebola to the U.S


Confirming the 2nd diagnosed case, the Center for Disease Control and prevention said in a statement.
"A second healthcare worker at Texas Presbyterian Hospital who provided care for the index patient has tested positive for Ebola according to preliminary test performed overnight by the Texas Department of Health Service Laboratory."

*The healthcare worker has yet to be identified, will update you guys as soon as i get a photo. This is getting worst by the day, imagine the number of people this worker might have come in contact with after treating Duncan, friends, husband and maybe children. Health care workers should be given a step by step procedure to use when they come to contact with an Ebola patient.
