Dr Stella Adadevoh was said to have received the Ebola experimental drug ZMapp from the United states. she has improved significantly and WAS discharged from the quarantine center in Lagos. Her discharge may cause another panic entirely as Nigerians are not feeling comfortable with infected individuals yet.
She was the Medical consultant working on Patrick Sawyer when Sawyer got angry at his Ebola diagnosis and began urinating on her and two other nurses. Both nurses, one unnamed and the other Justina Ejelonu who narrated her experience on social media while in quarantine have died.
In her last Facebook post, Ejelonu wrote about the action of Patrick Sawyer who eventually infected the nurse and her colleagues with the EVD. She wrote, “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 that’s the only contact. Not directly with his fluids. At a stage, he yanked off his infusion and we had blood everywhere on his bed…but the ward maids took care of that and changed his linens with great precaution.”
