Third Ebola Infected American, Dr. Rick Sacra


A third American infected with the Ebola virus in Liberia is Dr. Rick Sacra, a 51-year-old family physician from Massachusetts, his employer SIM USA said Wednesday. Sacra is an old hand in Liberia, and a good friend of both the previous patients — Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly.
Sacra was not treating Ebola patients, but pregnant women, SIM said. The charity said they had not discussed possible treatment for Sacra at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, as Writebol and Brantly got. What matters most is that, he will surely be treated after the success from the previous doctors who got infected with the virus.
