–Patrick
Sawyer’s Wife In defence of her husband, Patrick
Sawyer’s widow has explained why he travelled
to Nigeria, despite the fact that he knew he was
already contaminated with the Ebola virus. She
claims he came down the virus because he had
faith in Nigeria’s health system than that of his
country: “I’ve read other reports in other papers
about Patrick’s ‘recklessness’. I get where
they’re coming from, and they certainly have the
right to feel the way they do. However, as
Patrick’s widow, I would like to shed some light
on this from another perspective. One that only I,
his wife, would know. “I knew Patrick better than
anybody else (including himself). He had told me
many times in the past how much he didn’t trust
the Liberian healthcare system. He would tell me
about how a person would get checked in for one
thing, and get misdiagnosed and get the wrong
treatment as a result. On top of that, Patrick was
a clean freak, and told me how filthy a lot of the
hospitals were… “He didn’t tell me this, but I
know in my heart of hearts that Patrick was
determined to get to Nigeria by all means because
he felt that Nigeria would be a place of refuge. He
has expressed to me many times in the past that
he felt passionately about helping to be a part of
strengthening Liberia’s healthcare system, but he
knew it wasn’t there yet, and he wouldn’t want to
take a chance with his life because a lot of people
depended on him… Patrick had a passion for life,
and he wouldn’t have wanted his to end. So, I bet
anything that he was thinking, if I could only get to
Nigeria, a way more developed country than
Liberia, I would be able to get some help. How
ironic.” Mrs. Sawyer shared her thoughts on her
Facebook profile. In her post, Mrs. Sawyer wrote
that the fact that her husband avoided contact
with others at the James Sprigg Payne’s Airport
in Monrovia as revealed by airport CCTV footage
proved he didn’t set out to infect others with the
disease and perhaps his actions were that of a
dying man in desperate search for help. “It has
been reported that Patrick avoided physical
contact with everyone he came across during his
trip from Liberia to Nigeria. When he got to
Nigeria, he turned himself in letting them know
that he had just flown in from Liberia. “Patrick
went to Nigeria for help so that he can get
properly diagnosed, and not misdiagnosed in
Liberia. And if it came back that he did have
Ebola, he trusted the Nigerian healthcare system
a lot more than he trusted the Liberian’s. His
action, as off as it was, was a desperate plea for
help. Patrick didn’t want to die, and he thought his
life would be saved in Nigeria.” Mrs. Sawyer then
took a swipe at the Liberian President, Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf, who said Mr Sawyer was
indiscipline and disrespectful for failing to heed
medical advise not to travel. Mrs Sawyer said if
President Johnson-Sirleaf had fixed the
healthcare system in Liberia, her husband would
not have left in search of treatment elsewhere. “I
write today, not simply because of Patrick, but
because of the broken healthcare system in the
Liberia, and the government’s inability under
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (and other past
Presidents) to fix it. Good doctors, nurses, and
other healthcare providers aren’t given the
support they need to save lives. “President Sirleaf
went on CNN News throwing stones at Patrick, a
man who can no longer defend himself, a man
who worked tirelessly for Liberia. She should be
ashamed of herself. I use to admire this woman,
and was excited and proud of her
accomplishment as the first woman President in
the entire continent of Africa. She will always own
that. We will always own that. It can’t be taken
away from her. It’s something to be proud of. But
this woman has failed her country,” late Patrick
Sawler’s wife wrote.
