It is just before midnight on Wednesday as I step outside to once again talk to a machine to summarize our day’s events in hopes of bringing our family and friends a bit closer to us through this blog. I look around and there are a few lights in the distance The stars are out [...]

Dr. Jabara’s reflections on Haiti
February 8, 2010 – 9:15 am
Well the time is over for us here in Haiti. We fly home tomorrow. The week has been filled with ups and downs. Probably more downs than ups. We finished the day with 9 surgeries. Most went very well. Have a few on for tomorrow for the new crew that is arriving.
The day ended on [...]

Dr. Anderson’s reflections on his time in Haiti
February 8, 2010 – 9:12 am
To all:
It is hard to believe a week has passed by so quickly. Team 3 has completed our work here this week but the work is far from done, and Team 4 will have plenty to do when we pass off to them tomorrow. Most of us feel bittersweet about leaving. The atmosphere here is [...]

Hope for Haiti
February 5, 2010 – 2:05 pm
“We have no hope”. That was what one of the people told me today. I tried to get an understanding of what exactly he meant. I also tried to ask him how they deal with their pain and their losses. He had no more words. I feel for these people. Many are unemployed, little education, [...]

A busy day in Haiti
February 4, 2010 – 4:34 pm
Another busy but productive day for all at the Double Harvest. We saw some staffing changes and had to say goodbye to many friends made over the past 4 days who will not be forgotten. Spending 4 days together in high intensity conditions and in close quarters has a way of forging bonds between strangers [...]

A recon mission in Port-au-Prince – Dr. Anderson 2/1
February 2, 2010 – 10:09 am
Today started uneventfully. We had only a few cases scheduled that were leftover from the night before. We caught up on our sleep and spent some time working out kinks. We had generator issues all day yesterday, with power drops that were short but enough to wreak havoc on our sterilizer. Because of the generator [...]

February 2, 2010 – 10:08 am
Awesome! Today was another good day. Up this morning at 5:30 a.m. to begin rounds before our daily 7:30 a.m. group meeting. Most post op patients doing well.
Last night was some more excitement. A 24 year old came in to clinic in labor. It was a little trickier than usual because she had a prior [...]

A quick update from OAM’s Dr. Jabara
February 1, 2010 – 9:58 am
Just got done with orif femur. It was 2 weeks out from initial injury and the patient (was brought to us by family) had no splint. The patient was so tough he sat upright for a spinal without a wince. Unbelievably tough.
We’ve also treated:
an 80 year old with a femur (ex-fix)
a 5 year old with [...]
