The thing that always comes to mind in instances like this, is what kind of care are the people over there getting, as compared to what someone in the U. S. would get?
Would our people have access to better antibiotics? Would we give lipids and dietary supplements? Would we give certain peripheral drugs that aren’t being given in Africa?
Would we get better lab results, so we would know exactly what we were fighting, and what meds were most effective in a more timely basis?
I would have to think the mortality rate in the U. S. would be better than that in Africa, but I’m not convinced of it.
The thing I wonder about if a doctor can’t protect himself from this horrid disease......... what possible chance do the rest of us have?
