Tears for Spanish Ebola nurse as she leaves hospital

A Spanish nurse who was the first person to catch Ebola outside of Africa fought back tears as she left hospital on Wednesday after being cured of the deadly virus. "I am here to thank everyone, I am still very weak," Teresa Romero, 44, told a news conference at Carlos III Hospital in Madrid where she has spent the past month, mostly in isolation. Romero's eyes occasionally welled up with tears as she read a statement, surrounded by doctors and her husband Javier Limon. Romero, 44, was part of a team at the Carlos III hospital who volunteered to treat two elderly Spanish missionaries who caught the disease in Africa and died in Madrid in August and September.
