A plane equipped to transport Dr. Kent Brantly and missionary Nancy Writebol can carry only one patient back at a time, and Christian relief group Samaritan's Purse said it did not know who would return first. &quot;We have learned that we will be receiving a patient with Ebola at Emory University Hospital on Saturday,&quot; said Holly Korschun, spokeswoman for the facility where they will be treated. Officials said bringing the stricken aid workers to the United States would not put the American public at risk.</p><br clear="all"/>
