Surgeon stricken with Ebola in Sierra Leone arrives in Nebraska

Blogger

A surgeon diagnosed with Ebola in his native Sierra Leone arrived Saturday afternoon in the United States, where he will undergo treatment at Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Doctors judge him to be in "extremely critical condition," the center said in a statement dated Saturday. While the statement did not identify the patient, the family of Dr. Martin Salia has previously said he is the patient. Salia, who is a legal permanent resident of the United States, is married to a U.S. citizen, his relatives told CNN Baltimore affiliate WJZ. "This is an hour-by-hour situation," Dr. Phil Smith, medical director of the Biocontainment Unit at Nebraska Medical Center, said in the statement. "He is extremely ill. We have multiple highly-trained specialists who are experts in their fields targeting his most serious medical issues." wrote:

I think this ebola thing is getting outta hand, for 2 reasons. 1 The sensationalism aspect of it. Elections = fear mongers...wagging the dog if you will. 2. We as the people wont stop letting the media make us fearful and making the sensationalism even bigger. Im sick of hearing about it personally.

Exactly what Melody said. Does anyone find it ironic the it's not getting as much coverage now that the elections are over? I've barely heard a thing.

I've noticed that also Tori. This post was the first I saw or heard since the elections ended. Very ironic!
