Haiti

"There's nothing more sobering than to carry some woman outside, place her on wooden pallets inside an over-crowded tent, immediately after they amputated one of her legs ... then hand her some bottled water and a fist full of oxy, then tell her through a translator that someone will look in on her in the morning ..." Volunteer RN at CDTI - Port-au-Prince, Haiti



Pictured below are the bodies placed outside, of those who did not survive.

March 9, 2010 - Patients still arriving. A wall collapsed on this man while he was digging through
the rubble, perhaps looking to salvage some personal items or something worth selling.

Jennifer Channell, RN from Burlington, VT. attempts to treats his injuries.




Below are pictured just a few of the real heroes I met while in Haiti; Dr. James Smith-MD,
Mark Niles- PT, Jennifer (Bones) Channell-RN, Pete Sloan-PT, Ken Danylchuck-MD, and Pete Kaogridis..



April 4, 2010 – CDTI , the hospital where the above patients were being treated has officially closed its doors for lack of funds, without which fuel to run the generators can not be purchased and … well you get the idea. Keep in mind, the medical staff was there, volunteering there time, working for free. So where is all that Hollywood George Clooney money? What happened to all that money pledged by America and the rest of the world? Well, it’s all been earmarked for the “future” rebuilding of Haiti. The United Nations has basically said, “Nothing for the immediate needs for the sick and dying, or the patients pictured above.”
However, in order to insure stability and give the Haitian people hope …first on the agenda
will be to rebuild the Presidential Palace … Another example of your tax dollars at work !!!
