photos - clinic - part 4

This boy patiently waited for his dressing to be changed.

This boy cme in on the last day of the clinic, 13 days after being injured by his falling house. He has a broken hip. We sent him to Fond Parisien to Love a Child, where he was assessed and then sent on to the Dominican Republic for surgery.

Several elderly who couldn't move fast enough were injured.

This baby has a skull fracture caused by a cement block from his falling house hitting him. No age group was spared from the effects of the earthquake.

This lady had a burn that got infected. Dr. Karen wanted her to go to a hospital but she refused as she had nobody to look after her 4 children and they were living in one of the local refuge camps. Dr. Karen debrided her dead skin.
