Popular Lagos doctor, Ameyo Stella Adadevoh is dead. The ELITES gathered that the medical practitioner died this evening. Adadevoh had battled for her life, after being infected with Ebola virus from Patrick Sawyer.
Adadevoh, a Senior Consultant Physician and Endocrinologist, was one of those who diagnosed and was treating Sawyer of the ailment when he was first brought into First Consultant Hospital.
The ELITES gathered that when Sawyer arrived the hospital, the first person he came into contact with was Dr. Ada, the 26-year-old who was also infected with the deadly virus by the Liberian-American carrier. Dr. Ada has since recovered from the infection and discharged from quarantine facility.
Sources disclosed that Sawyer told Dr. Ada that he had Malaria. He didn't tell her he was coming from Liberia where he had been in contact with his sister who died of Ebola.
The following day, when Sawyer did not show any sign of recovery from malaria, in spite of the thorough treatment that was given to him, Dr. Ada and her colleagues at First Consultants Hospital became concerned. She then invited her boss, Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh, the senior consultant at the hospital, who immediately suspected Ebola and ordered for test.
In one of their close encounters with Sawyer, he became restive, dropped his drip bag on the floor and called for assistance. When the nurse came, he told her that he wanted to see the doctor and not the nurse. When the doctor arrived, she found the drip bag on the floor. She then assisted him to reset the drip without gloves and protective clothing. This might have been the moment of contact with Sawyer’s fluid.
