In 2014, a twenty-eighty-year old British doctor found himself running the Ebola isolation unit in Sierra Leone's largest hospital after the virus killed the doctor in charge.
Completely overwhelmed and wrapped in stifling protective suits, he and his colleagues took turns providing basic care to patients while removing dead bodies from the ward.
Facing incredible odds, the doctor battled to keep the hospital open, as the line of sick and dying patients grew every day.
Only a few miles.
