Doctor Who Survived Ebola Gives Blood for Infected Dallas Nurse Nina Pham

Dallas nurse Nina Pham, who contracted Ebola while treating a Liberian patient who died of the disease, received a potentially life-saving transfusion from Dr. Kent Brantly, the missionary doctor who beat the virus two months ago, ABC News has learned.

Brantly flew to Dallas on Sunday, one day after Pham tested positive for the virus, sources said. He donated his blood, packed with antibodies that should fight the disease.
