Over the course of three months in the latter part of 2014, Ebola became a beat in Omaha, where three patients were treated for the often-deadly virus. At the end of the year, we returned to the doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, infection-control experts and researchers who cared for the three patients. They talked about their fears of treating the patients, the pressure they faced because of the scrutiny they were under and the day-to-day routine of working in the biocontainment unit at the Nebraska Medical Center. Readers were given a look at how caregivers took care of the patients and each other in a stressful environment.
