New York doctor who survived Ebola speaks out

After months of silence, Craig Spencer, the New York City doctor who survived Ebola, is speaking out about his experience, saying that both the media and politicians exploited his illness for their own gain.
In an editorial in today's The New England Journal of Medicine, Spencer says cable news shows and public officials stoked fear at a time when the country needed facts.
Spencer, who contracted Ebola while volunteering in Guinea for Doctors Without Borders, says some media "sold fear" and "fabricated stories" about his life when he was too sick to defend himself. His liver began to fail during his hospitalization, Spencer writes, and he lost 20 pounds.
Typical leftist do-gooder.
