"In a situation like this I have to use every brain cell to save some people's lives. This is our central supply room,” Dr. Gobee Logan said. 

While the world waits for a proven Ebola drug, he's experimenting with an HIV drug called lamivudine.

"In order for everyone in this unit not to die, I think I need to try this medication,” Logan said.

Four young women - Elizabeth, Susan, Fatu and Massa - came to the unit with Ebola. But they were given the HIV drug. And now they're doing well. They're able to walk around and they'll be discharged soon.

"They are taking care of us fine. They are giving us medicine fine. We can eat fine. We are feeling fine in our body,” one patient said.
