Why is blood transfusion, which has been proven to work in this for 8 out of 7 patients, not being promoted as an Ebola treatment?
From 40:15, Nurse Nicole lay dying whilst doctors debate whether blood transfusion from a survivor should be carried out |
The reason why the foreign doctors had been against the blood transfusion treatment was because they feared the possibility of transferring AIDS, hepatitis B & C. However, this is ludicrous; don't accident victims on the verge of bleeding to death fed with blood? How is this any different? Can't blood from Ebola survivors be equally screened and then transfused into Ebola patients?
