The orthopedic doctors are working long hours and cannot keep up. There are many crush-type fractures, some that are untouched by medical hands since the earthquake over 2 weeks ago. Many people are being seen who were hit by falling debris or from walls collapsing on them. Others have secondary infections due to hurried surgeries. Keeping a supply of food, medicine, and medical supplies is an ongoing problem. Patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes are finding it impossible to find life-sustaining medication, which formerly was available in Port Au Prince. The road to recovery will be very long and painful. This report came through Dr. Mark Fulton. Go to Websites We Know and Trust for more details.
