Pham, a nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, will file a lawsuit
today against the hospital’s parent company, Texas Health Resources.
According to the suit, the hospital chain failed to provide
proper equipment and training to handle Ebola. Pham contracted the disease while
treating Thomas Eric Duncan who started showing symptoms shortly after arriving
in Dallas from Liberia. Her lawsuit also claims Texas Health Resources violated
her privacy by sharing her medical records, which should have been kept
private.
