An Ebola Doctor’s Return From the Edge of Death

Detailed description of one Doctor’s Story of Fighting Back From Ebola’s Deadly Grip

NEW YORK TIMES by Denise Grady                                Dec. 8, 2014

Dr. Ian Crozier, 44, contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone while treating patients. He was evacuated to Atlanta on Sept. 9 and had an agonizing illness, with 40 days in the hospital and dark stretches when his doctors and his family feared he might sustain brain damage or die. His identity was kept secret at his request, to protect his family’s privacy.

 

Now, for the first time, he is speaking out. His reason, he said, is to thank Emory for the extraordinary care he received, and to draw attention to the continuing epidemic.
