Team #4 already in the flow of things.
February 8, 2010 – 9:17 am
Team #4 has been on the ground in Haiti now for just over 24 hours. We had a warm welcome from the Miami team here on the ground. They have helped us make a relatively smooth transition.
We have answered a census at the Double Harvest Clinic of close to 50 patients. We have gotten started [...]

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 [...]

Review of the day: 2/3
February 4, 2010 – 3:33 pm
Update from Haiti: Patient census around 40. We have 11 surgeries planned for tomorrow (Thurs). Our colleagues from Indiana left for home today. That leaves only the Grand Rapids crew and three others from Oklahoma.
We were visited by members of the 82nd Airborne today. About 12-15 soldiers. Basically checking on our supplies, patients, any needs [...]

Learning from our patients by helping – Dr. Anderson 2/3
February 3, 2010 – 10:25 am
Not much new to report today. Clinic was very busy. Surgery schedule was less busy. This is probably a good sign that progress is being made, but the situation changes very often and very quickly. The are still many who need follow-up care and we identified many undiagnosed injuries today. Most are severe and complex [...]
