Hey,So the nurse is infected with Ebola and the "foreign" doctors are too scared, too knowledgeable, and too stuck on protocol to try the blood transfusion, but yet probably she would have died anyways. I'll go with the African doctors, at least they will not just isolate me and watch my soul separate from my body. When crisis strikes you definitely see the doers vs. the shell shocked and we can't do that crowd.Thanks to all!!
