By Lisa Maria Garza DALLAS (Reuters) - A Texas hospital group on Wednesday said it disputes some claims made by nurse Nina Pham, the first person infected with Ebola in the United States who this week sued it for failing to prevent her from contracting the virus and then invading her privacy. Texas Health Resources Chief Executive Barclay Berdan said the hospital complied with government privacy regulations to determine what information to share publicly about Pham's condition and Pham consented to its release, a hospital group spokesman said. He first made the comments in an email sent to staff shortly after the suit was filed on Monday, its spokesman, Wendell Watson, said. Pham, 26, was one of two nurses at the Dallas hospital who contracted Ebola when treating Thomas Duncan, who contracted the disease in Liberia and was admitted to the Dallas hospital in late September. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
