This is the best news i have heard in few months now, I watched Doctor Kent Brantly speak live on CNN just a few minutes ago happy and looking healthy. It was a narrow escape for him as he promise to join the fight against EBOLA, he also Hugged all the Doctors and nurses that took care of him while most of them couldn't control there emotions than to shad tears of joy as he wife walked hand in hand with him. read CNN report below;
Both Americans who were treated for the Ebola virus have been discharged from the hospital."Today is a miraculous day," Dr. Kent Brantly said at a news conference in Atlanta with staff of Emory University Hospital. "I am thrilled to be alive, to be well and to be reunited with my family." The hospital announced he was being discharged Thursday.
The other patient, Nancy Writebol, was released Tuesday, and is choosing not to make public comments, the hospital said.
"We are tremendously pleased with Dr. Brantly and Mrs. Writebol's recovery," said Dr. Bruce Ribner, director of Emory's Infectious Disease Unit.
"What we learned in caring for them will help advance the world's understanding of how to treat Ebola infections and help, hopefully, to improve survival" in other parts of the world, Ribner said at a news conference.
Both patients were evacuated from Liberia earlier this month in a plane specially equipped with an isolation tent and accompanied by medical staff outfitted in head-to-foot protective clothing.
