My Experience as an Ebola Patient

I was one of the doctors in the medical team that treated the Liberian index case of Ebola virus disease (EVD) after he flew to Lagos from Liberia on the 20th of July 2014. I am not exactly sure when I came into contact with the virus. It may have been on the night (before we ever suspected Ebola) when I touched his intravenous fluid bag with my bare right hand and probably touched my eyes, mouth, or nose before I washed my hand. I worked at a private medical center, which is one of the best in Lagos. As soon as we began to suspect that the patient had EVD, we immediately notified the relevant Nigerian authorities.
