Ebola outbreak; BRITISH DOCTOR HANNAH SPENCER TELLS OF THE DIFFICULTY IN TREATING PATIENTS

A doctor who has fought the Ebola virus in Liberia where it infected two American doctors today gave a terrifying insight into how medics put their fears aside and their lives on the line to treat patients in the current outbreak taking a grip in Africa. Doctor Hannah Spencer revealed how she wills herself to feel safe inside a boiling hot air-sealed Hazmat suit - her only barrier between her and catching an invisible killer that kills 90 per cent of those who are infected.

She spoke out after two Americans, Dr Kent Brantly, 33, and Nancy Writebol, 60, contracted Ebola and are fighting for their lives to explain the risks, the courage, the physical toll and fear endured by doctors battling to contain the virus from killing more.


'At traditional funerals, it's common for the body to be displayed and for all of the mourners to touch... If someone has died from Ebola, the level of virus in their body is extremely high'
                      
  - Dr Hannah Spencer
