Thursday, February 4, 2010. Bringing Light To The Darknesss". Rocky Cagle, RN and Go Team member. I think to myself that perhaps they have not yet realized that their schools are destroyed and the devastation of the earthquake has taken the lives of their classmates and teachers. After the brief conversation we are ready for our day, both of us knowing it's going to be long and hot. Where is this narcotic? Will you start this IV? Can you figure out what is wrong with patient? The intensity drives all of ...

Wednesday, February 10, 2010. How Will Haiti Recover? RN and Go Team member. My last few days in Haiti were a new experience as I responded to a call for volunteers suddenly needed in the Petit Goave region of Haiti to replace the volunteers leaving the mobile clinic sites there on Friday. A doctor from Chicago, Stacy, and I set out apart from the rest of International Medical Corps (IMC), and arrived to the mobile clinic where just two IMC nurses had been working with Haitian staff for a week.

Friday, February 12, 2010. Pastors Keep Community Spirit Going in Haiti. By Gene Gincherman, M.D. Emergency physician and Go Team member. While on a trip outside Port-au-Prince (PaP)during a recent medical mission to Haiti, I noticed one essential quality to people's suffering there: namely, it's essential loneliness. Considering the lack of civil authority, they seemed to be the inspiration for their communities. They were interested in every aspect of daily lives, from fulfilling the spiritual need...

Hopkins in Haiti: "They lost their house..."
http://hopkins-in-haiti.blogspot.com/2010/02/today-was-good-day.html
Tuesday, February 2, 2010. They lost their house.". Go Team member and ICU nurse. Today was a good day. We saw a good bit of patients today. As some of you may not know I am now in the ER because they needed more help there. The whole Johns Hopkins crew runs the ER. All 8 of us. It is better than staffing the ICU because there is nothing I could do for those. People. I am charge nurse of the ER so it is good to be running the show and having people look up to me. ( Cagle.

Hopkins in Haiti: "He died two hours later."
http://hopkins-in-haiti.blogspot.com/2010/02/he-died-two-hours-later.html
Tuesday, February 2, 2010. He died two hours later.". Tom Kirsch, M.D. Johns Hopkins emergency physician and Go Team leader. We work out of big, cream-colored tents, maybe 30 feet long and 15 feet wide. There are tents scattered all over the compound, from many different countries, but all with slight variations on the same design and a color range of white to tan. I guess they are the international standard disaster tent. We poured antibiotics, anti-malarials and fluids into him immediately, but because...

Hopkins in Haiti: The "End of the Road"
http://hopkins-in-haiti.blogspot.com/2010/02/end-of-road.html
Tuesday, February 9, 2010. The "End of the Road". Tom Kirsch, M.D. Emergency doctor and Go Team leade. In some towns more than 90 percent of the buildings had collapsed. At points the road was ripped and roiled with larger fissures slashing along and across the road. The area we went to was literally at the "end of the road.". Only the shacks were really left because they were made of wood and palm fronds and metal sheets rather than the brittle and poorly reinforced concrete that crumbled into dust.
