Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
One of the top doctors in Liberia who had treated hundreds of patients of Ebola has died from the disease.
Dr. Samuel Brisbane died Sunday according to a release from government officials. Dr. Brisbane is the first native Liberian doctor to die from the outbreak; a Ugandan doctor who came to assist died earlier this month.
Dr. Brisbane was the medical advisor to former Liberian President Charles Taylor and had worked at the country’s largest hospital, John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Monrovia.
Local officials say that Dr. Brisbane was buried outside the city in an area only known to his family. Another doctor who worked with Dr. Brisbane has also been confirmed to have the virus and is undergoing treatment.
The death comes as other leading doctors in the region are fighting infections. Sierra Leone’s top doctor, Sheik Umar Khan, showed signs of the disease last week and is in treatment. 33-year-old American doctor Kent Brantly is reportedly in grave condition and fighting for his life.
European medical officials have wanted to transfer Dr. Brantly to Europe for treatment but African officials have denied the right to transfer the doctor through their airspace.
