Who is Ebola patient Nina Pham? (also they emailed a video of Bently to her last night!)

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/14/health/ebola-who-is-nina-pham/index.html?iid=article_sidebar

She tackled one of the toughest jobs any nurse could take on -- treating a highly contagious Ebola patient. And somehow along the way, she contracted the deadly virus herself.

"I think that she takes it (as) more than a career. I think it's a vocation, because her family, from the time that we met, they always serve other people," he said.

Not only is Pham skilled in proper nursing techniques, she was a scrupulous teacher, too.

"Knowing Nina, she's one of the most meticulous, thorough, effective nurses," Joseph told CNN affiliate KTVT. "She taught me infection control and hand hygiene and protocol. I learned so much of that from her."

Officials emailed a video of Bentley to Pham Monday night, he said, hoping that it might boost her spirits.

Accusations regarding lack of hygiene being thrown at her and nurses in general.

Really hoping she gets well, and that they find out how she got infected to stop this menace in its tracks from infecting others!
