The death toll from Ebola in West Africa now tops 4,500, and the spread of the deadly virus shows little sign of slowing.
But among those fighting the disease is a Boston doctor who cared for Ebola patients in the region, and is now training other doctors, reports CBS News correspondent Elaine Quijano.
At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‘s mock Ebola ward in Anniston, Alabama, Dr. Nahid Bhadelia showed medical clinicians how to get in and out of their personal protective equipment.
Dr. Bhadelia knows first-hand that these suits and important training, can save doctors’ lives from the Ebola virus.
