Yesterday, the first Dallas nurse to contract the Ebola virus was sent to a hospital better-equipped to treat the disease. However, prior to her departure, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital released a touching video which shows her exchanging goodbyes with coworkers.
The video shows Dr. Gary Weinstein thanking Nina Pham for caring for Duncan, and commending her for her strength. "Thanks for being part of the volunteer team to take care of our first patient," Weinstein said to a teary-eyed Pham after thanking her for "getting well."
Nina Pham, 26, contracted the virus while treating Thomas Eric Duncan at the hospital. Duncan, 47, died of the disease on Oct. 8. Pham was transferred to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., arriving on a chartered flight. Wearing protective gear, she was transported to the NIH, which has a biocontainment unit.
Officials say Pham is currently in good condition.
