US Doctor Infected By Ebola Releases Statement Thanking God For Recovery by gbadexy(m): 12:24am On Aug 09, 2014 |
Dr. Kent Brantly, the American doctor infected with Ebola released a statement Friday afternoon — his first since being brought back to the U.S. Brantly was working for humanitarian organization Samaritan’s Purse in West Africa, treating Ebola patients at a Liberia hospital when he contracted the deadly virus. On Saturday, August 2, he was flown to Emory University Hospital, where he has been in isolation while receiving care. He released the following statement through Samaritan’s Purse: “I am writing this update from my isolation room at Emory University Hospital, where the doctors and nurses are providing the very best care possible. I am growing stronger every day, and I thank God for His mercy as I have wrestled with this terrible disease. I also want to extend my deep and sincere thanks to all of you who have been praying for my recovery as well as for Nancy and for the people of Liberia and West Africa. “My wife Amber and I, along with our two children, did not move to Liberia for the specific purpose of fighting Ebola. We went to Liberia because we believe God called us to serve Him at ELWA Hospital. “One thing I have learned is that following God often leads us to unexpected places. When Ebola spread into Liberia, my usual hospital work turned more and more toward treating the increasing number of Ebola patients. I held the hands of countless individuals as this terrible disease took their lives away from them. I witnessed the horror firsthand, and I can still remember every face and name. “When I started feeling ill on that Wednesday morning, I immediately isolated myself until the test confirmed my diagnosis three days later. When the result was positive, I remember a deep sense of peace that was beyond all understanding. God was reminding me of what He had taught me years ago, that He will give me everything I need to be faithful to Him. “Now it is two weeks later, and I am in a totally different setting. My focus, however, remains the same—to follow God. As you continue to pray for Nancy and me, yes, please pray for our recovery. More importantly, pray that we would be faithful to God’s call on our lives in these new circumstances.” Fellow American Nancy Writebol, who was working for U.S. mission group SIM, was also infected with Ebola. She returned to the U.S. Tuesday and is also at Emory receiving treatment. In a press conference August 1st, Emory’s Dr. Bruce Ribner, said this would be the first time a patient with the Ebola virus would be treated in the U.S. and Emory is taking safety precautions seriously. The patients were placed in the hospital’s containment unit, which is discrete from the rest of the hospital.

Obama is actually trying to wait for millions of folks to get down with the vurus, so he can make more revenue for the U. S. He is also waiting for the time he can feel like the saviour of Africa.... Nonsense! What are our own medical professors, pharmacists and researchers doing? Must we always look towards America?? if you are a medical scientist or researcher or you operate a related discipline, go tell others you are failing the nation. NIGERIA! WAKE UP, AMERICA IS NOT SUPERIOR. 1 Like |

The US obviously has a cure for the disease. These people are far ahead of us, that is why I laugh when we try to rub shoulders with them just because a black guy emerged as best graduating student in one of their schools. |
