Nina Pham, the first American health care professional to be diagnosed with Ebola, received a warm goodbye from her colleagues on Thursday. The video featuring the farewell of the U.S. nurse has been released online.

The video was taken shortly before Pham had been taken to a Maryland hospital. The Dallas nurse had to wipe tears off her check after her co-workers said the parting words to her. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital authorities distributed the video which was posted on YouTube by Texas Health Resources. The video shows Pham lying in a hospital bed. A male health care professional covered in protective garb is also seen in the video.

USA Today reported that according to the hospital authorities, the video had been shot by Gary Weinstein - the physician who treated Pham. It was the last time Weinstein had visited Pham. Weinstein thanks Pham for getting well. He also thanks her for being a part of the volunteer team to take care of their first Ebola patient. He referred to Thomas Eric Duncan who had earlier died at the Dallas hospital. While Pham acknowledges the appreciation, Weinstein continues and says that her service means a lot.

Weinstein adds that it is a huge effort by all the health care workers. It is when Pham is seen dropping tears. "We're really proud of you," Weinstein says as a female voice requests her not to cry. Pham invites everyone to come to Maryland as the physician declares that it is going to be a party there. Pham is going to be treated at the NIH center in Bethesda. Weinstein asks Pham if she needs anything. "I don't think so," she replies. Weinstein gives a tissue to her and says that there is no crying. Weinstein says that happy tears are OK but there should not be any tears otherwise. "I love you, guys," Pham tells her co-workers who reply that they love her.

The 26-year-old nurse became the first person on U.S. soil to be diagnosed with Ebola. She was a part of the health care team that had treated Duncan in September.
