EBOLA DISCHARGE! By. Ayanna Evans

A few weeks ago a doctor named Kent Brantley was in Liberia to help treat patients suffering with Ebola. Kent says that he was very close to one of the doctors from liberia, who was also helping patients.  Ebola is a disease that is marked by severe fever and internal bleeding. This virus spreads throughout the body and eventually ends in death if treatment doesn't work. As an update follows Kent was discharged from the hospital and is currently home with his loving wife. Kent says that he is lucky to be alive and well.

I admire Dr.Kent for risking his life to help others. We need more people like him in the world. I really don't know what extra procedures the doctors could have taken to be more careful, but it's a relief to see that he has made an amazing recovery and may continue doing what he loves.  Helping others !😃

  1. I agree with you, we need more people like Dr.Kent in the world. People that can go and treat severely ill people and who are likely to get infected because of it are very brave. Ebola sounds horrific, hopefully the people infected in Liberia are being treated and are closer to recovery.
