Dead @ delivery..tap tap
Favorite patient goes home
8 month dead in ureto & mother dying from DIC
1st admission...Left breast mastectomy
4year old tetralogy of flow dies... Never repaired
Traumatized by mva patient that fell off ER stretcher face first, whom eventually dies, after driving all over the city looking for a nuerosurgeon to fix his head bleeds. No one would take/assist him. So back to Bev Menards he comes, to die, because theres nothing here we can do for him, but provide him with a bed. This has taken the cake for me!!! The trauma lies in the fact that he fell off the ER stretcher while still secured to a transport board. On top of all that how is it that there's at least one Haitian dr and two haitian nurses standing in the area and I along with another colleague respond and assist in picking him up off the floor, faster than those surrounding him. My heart aches.......
I decided that I'm not working tomorrow!!!! Mentally & physically I have been pushed to the limit. Mental health day for me. I declared it.... Now what!!
Night @ the U.N. Last night with robin & Julie the berkley residents:) good gals!!! Robins been traumatized by delivering dead babies.
It's been a taxing day!! Port Au Prince is sad & resilient all at the same time. Bev Menards hospital is a sad place. Its a place of last resort. The people arrive here in the worst shape possible. Its a place to come and die. I'm ready to go home. Happiness misses me.
Random but true. My ankles are swollen like tree trunks. I feel abused.

Hey darling! I receive a FB msg about you selfish and philanthropist trip over to Haiti and I think it's quite wonderful. I'm so intrigue and proud at the same time to know someone who not only cares, but puts forth the action of caring about others in need. One of my closest girlfriends in from Haiti and her mom and plenty of other family live there now in port au prince and oua na minte . I won't be able to make your informing/celebratory event, but I sure wish I could. I would love to here about your experience. Her family is having this huge thing in Haiti next Aug, so her along with her kids me and a few other friends are going there next Aug. It's so ironic to get this msg right now. Your are fabulous, love it and hope to see you soon!
