Sierra Leone doctor with Ebola extremely critical
2014-11-17
[ARABNEWS] A surgeon from Sierra Leone being treated for Ebola in a Nebraska hospital on Saturday was critically ill after being airlifted back from Africa, medical officials said.

Dr. Martin Salia, 44, a permanent US resident, caught the disease while working as a surgeon in a Freetown hospital, according to his family.

Doctors at the Nebraska hospital said his condition was extremely critical. He had been stable enough to take a flight from West Africa to Omaha but was too sick to walk off the plane, medical officials said.

#4  Interesting that his initial test for Ebola when he first got sick came back negative. We try to run our modern world strictly by the numbers. Unfortunately, biological systems show a lot of variability. There is always something going on out at the tail end of a probability distribution.

Parenthetically, "by the numbers" also yields perverse results when it is easier to cook the numbers than to fix the problem being measured. The recent Veterans Administration scandal is only one example.
