Ebola has an incubation period of  21 days so she would be showing symptoms and be very ill by now.
However, never stay with a dr you are not comfortable with or have concerns about, it can stress you during your pregnancy

Shes a doctor, obviously she would have taken the necessary precautions, shots and medication to ensure she doesnt bring anything back with her, and with the ebola thing, there are prevention s for that anyway. Dont dump her as a gp just because she went to another country
