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.

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.

Am wondering when AFRICAN leaders will begin to think more about her citizens than themselves.

This report goes to show us how TRUE leaders (e.g US)value the lives of her citizenry.
