The experience of all those who have worked with Ebola during the current outbreak has been different, and varied by time and place. I worked with Médicins sans Frontières in Monrovia during October/November 2014. This was the first-ever outbreak of Ebola virus disease in the overcrowded and impoverished areas of a capital city; Ebola was spreading rapidly, and case management had to be upscaled on an unprecedented basis. It was also a time of many questions: for clinicians, these centred on how to optimise survival, and how to maximise care in a resource-limited environment.
在此次埃博拉疫情期间，所有参与应对工作的人员经历各不相同，且因时间和地点而异。2014年10月至11月期间，我在蒙罗维亚与无国界医生组织共事。这是埃博拉病毒病首次在一个首都城市的拥挤贫困地区爆发；埃博拉疫情迅速蔓延，病例管理工作必须以前所未有的规模进行扩大。那也是一个充满诸多问题的时期：对于临床医生而言，这些问题主要集中在如何优化存活率，以及如何在资源有限的环境中提供最大化的护理。
