photos - clinic - part 3

We went to all the refuge camps in our area and found this lady who had severe burns on her legs, which were caused by hot oil falling on her during the earthquake. She is a street vendor who was preparing food at the time of the earthquake.

We brought her to the University of Miami mobile hospital set up on the grounds of the airport. While there we made contact with members of the surgical team who are part of the hydrocephalus project and returned to pick up Dorothy and Poutchino so that he could be evaluated.

There was a constant stream of injured being brought to this airport hospital. The lady with the burns was carried from the truck to the triage area. She was operated on within the hour to debride her infected legs.

This rescue team was carrying another injured person.


Jeff was kept busy transporting injured to hospitals. These patients are waiting to be seen in the triage area.
