President Barack Obama met on Friday with Dallas nurse Nina Pham after she was declared cured of the Ebola virus.
The White House announced the event in the Oval Office one hour before it was scheduled to happen, reserving a few moments before the meeting for photo-only press coverage.
Pham had contracted the virus while treating an infected patient at a hospital in Dallas. She was released on Friday from the National Institutes of Health hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.
The meeting came within one day of a New York City patient being reportedly diagnosed with the Ebola virus.

Glad she’s better. Wish Thomas Eric Duncan had survived. I think it’s very likely he would have had he been afforded the same level of care.
She contracted it because of shoddy practices at a private hospital in Texas and was cured at a public hospital in Maryland? That’s unpossible!
After what this brave soul has endured, I truly hope the right will find some compassion and abstain from attacking her for the unpatriotic act of meeting with the scary black president who is scary. Who am I kidding? They’ll say this proves she acted recklessly.
His chances would have been better if he were in a different state all together
Don’t forget Obama meeting with someone who formerly had Ebola! Can you even get rid of Ebola? I mean scientists don’t agree or some shit. What we need is Ebola colonies!!
