Sample text
This particular strain of ebola did not kill everyone who became infected; one in five victims survived. So the Zairian physicians proposed to save the nurse by transfusing whole blood from one of the survivors, in the hope that whatever antibodies had saved him would be transferred to her.

And what she learns from the cases she encounters in her practice might, in turn, have significance for the further development of the sciences.

Instead there is an interplay between theory and case study that benefits both.
