US Hospital: Surgeon with Ebola Extremely Ill – The Nebraska doctors treating a surgeon who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone say he is in extremely critical condition.

Dr. Martin Salia, who was diagnosed with Ebola on Monday, arrived in Omaha Saturday. Dr. Phil Smith leads the Nebraska Medical Center’s bio-containment unit that has successfully treated two other Ebola patients this fall.

Smith said Sunday that Salia is “extremely ill.” The deadly virus has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leona.
