There is a man in Monrovia, Liberia who took his sick mother (who didn't show any symptoms of Ebola) to hospital (the Redemption Hospital) only to be turned away because the hospital didn't take Ebola patients, so he took his mother to another hospital (the ELWA Hospital) but he was told they only took Ebola patients...click here to read full story. After series to attempts his mother later died, the most interesting thing was, his mother was buried as though she had Ebola.-  KCRA
