By Ellen Wulfhorst NEW YORK (Reuters) – The young doctor diagnosed with Ebola in New York City is a big-hearted man with a serious interest in international emergency medicine and a flair for languages, yet his friends call him “a goofball.” Craig Spencer, originally from the Detroit area, has specialized in International Emergency Medicine at the highly respected Columbia University-New York Presbyterian Hospital since 2011, according to his online LinkedIn resume. He spent a month treating Ebola patients in Guinea with the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, returned to the United States on Oct. 17 and was diagnosed with the virus on Thursday, health officials said. “Craig is one of the most brilliant and delightful people I have ever had the pleasure of working with,” said Leslie Roberts, a professor of population and family health at the Columbia University Medical Center.
