MANILA, Philippines – A heartrending video of a nurse infected with Ebola went viral worldwide just a few days ago.

Nina Pham was diagnosed to have been infected with the deadly disease after taking care of Thomas Eric Duncan, the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States.

In the video, taken from her isolation room in Texas Hospital, Gary Weinstein, her treating physician thanks her for making a great effort in treating the Ebola patient.

Nina Pham then tries to remain strong as she endearingly tells to her treating physicians not to cry.

But even she could not keep her tears from falling down her cheeks. With a slightly cracking voice, she said “I love you guys.”

Since the video was taken, Pham has been moved to a National Institutes of Health facility in Maryland for further treatment.
