An American doctor who was exposed to the Ebola virus while volunteering in Sierra Leone was admitted Sunday to a hospital at the National Institutes of Health near the nation's capital.
The patient, who was not identified, arrived at NIH's Clinical Center about 4 p.m., NIH said in a statement on its website.

This is our share of the “redistribution”—we fork over our money through confiscatory taxation, in return we get ebola and gangster illegals.
How does one of our 4 special clinics built for this purpose years ago to treat researchers and others who become contaminated with Ebola and worse, “spread the virus”?
Do you honestly believe that it is from one of these four advanced isolation units that you think our problems with Ebola are going to originate?
Are they using paper gowns, three cent face shields, and the gloves that tear when you put them on? Just like CDC recommends for "all US hospitals should be prepared to care for Ebola patients"?
Somehow, I doubt it.
Bethesda is one of or 4 special isolation treatment clinics built years ago for those working with or infected by even worse than Ebola.
Bethesda Maryland, Emory, one in Nebraska, and one in Montana.

I think the pathogen risk levels top out at Biosecurity Level 4. It just doesn’t get any nastier than that.
Thanks for posting. Health/life BUMP!
Well the good thing is our soldiers know a lot more about Ebola than doctors who have worked around it for years.
And the losers in the Pentagon will ‘follow orders’ and send the infected soldiers to mingle with military units all over the world.
Remember, our military leaders allowed the SEALS to die in Benghazi... they all ‘followed orders’...
Ding, ding, ding we have a thread winnah!!
Thanks for the ping!
We are transporting people from halfway around the world to get them to our treatment centers.
Were these established as international treatment centers or for domestic research and potential containment if ebola appeared on our shores?
Is there no risk in transporting people by plane, car, waiting at the airport, etc? Would you care to be the next passenger in that seat? What hazmat cleanup procedures are being used along the way of such an international journey?
Doctors and nurses who are already taking special precautions against transmission are becoming infected.
A plane ride is a plane ride, so you can drop what you think sounds dramatic, “halfway around the world”.
The treatment centers were designed to do EXACTLY what they are doing, treating people working with, or infected with Sars, Ebola, or other infectious disease, they were built next to labs where such viruses are already present.
To keep playing spooky music, doesn’t change anything.
“halfway around the world” means that the trip takes many many hours.
The air in planes is recycled.
You can keep your bitchy talk to yourself.
Good Lord, on special aircraft, with special isolation chambers, not commercial flights.
