PHOTOGRAPH BY PETE MULLER
HASTINGS, Sierra Leone
“This image haunts me like few others,”
photographer Pete Muller says. On assignment in West Africa during a swiftly
spreading 2014 Ebola epidemic, Muller was inside a Sierra Leone treatment
center when a delirious infected patient bolted out of the quarantined area and
tried to climb a wall to get out.
This outbreak was devastating the region,
making a contagious insensible person a deadly threat
It took an armed police
officer and two hazmat-suited clinicians to subdue the man and return him to
bed.
He died 12 hours later.
