This man did seek medical treatment early.
He was turned away with a false diagnosis.
How does that fit your narrative of a vaunted Western medicine where you just need to walk into the door and make the Ebola not be a problem anymore.
And it is especially disingenuous to say that all you need is to seek treatment when the disease has no established treatment.
So far the popular ways are: plasma from a survivor, ZMapp (which is reported to be out of stock), and certain medications for HIV infections. None of them other than ZMapp have anything other than antedoctal efficacy.

My narrative? Are you selling seeds and water filters like Alex Jones?

Was a mistake, but now everyone is on alert for haemorrhagic symptoms. I'm not sure, are you saying all medical professionals should be perfect?
There was no reason to suspect Ebola or Marburg at first. Don't stand on that mistake as if it contradicts my previous posts. It doesn't.
Western treatment is, if nothing else, going to greatly reduce the ability of it to spread. It only spreads from bodily fluids. But go on, if you want to buy the fear the media is selling go right ahead.

And just to be clear.....I don't think this Ebola issue to be a big deal.
It just amuses me all of these people who act like they have the threat of Ebola completely mapped out, and they are confident in the abilities of medicine in dealing with it to the point of being dismissive to any concerns.....and you probably couldn't even tell me what a filovirus is without Googling it.
