Video Emerges of Dallas Nurse with Ebola in Bed Before Being Transferred

There is video tonight, for the first time, of Dallas nurse Nina Pham, one of two nurses who was contracted with Ebola this past week. The video shows Pham in bed shortly before being transferred tonight to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda.

In the video, you can hear Pham’s physician speaking with her and thanking her for being a part of the team that treated Thomas Duncan when he showed up in the hospital with Ebola. Pham and Amber Vinson are the only nurses so far who have contracted Ebola, and both are being transferred elsewhere for treatment.

Pham cries in the video and barely speaks, aside from a joking “come to Maryland, everybody,” and an emotional “I love you guys.”
