Dr. Rick Sacra, a 51-year-old Boston physician, arrived Friday at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha for treatment after being flown there from Liberia, one of five West African countries affected by an outbreak of the virus. "Rick is very sick and weak, but slightly improved from when he arrived yesterday," Debbie Sacra said Saturday. Sacra said she and the couple's 22-year-old son are in Nebraska, but they visited with Rick, isolated in the hospital's biocontainment unit, for about 25 minutes over a video link. She said he remembered little of his journey from Liberia and that she was "relieved to see his face and hear his voice again." Dr. Sacra contracted Ebola while working at a hospital in Liberia on behalf of the North Carolina-based Christian group SIM USA. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
