We had the very first patient in Nevada. We were fearful because this disease was so new. Quickly we came up with a plan. The patient had a long course of intubation, however he was able to leave the hospital. The ability to coordinate care at the VA was amazing. The supplies and medications were helpful and we were fortunate to never be in need.
