One of our docs is heading down to Haiti next week. We, as a group, all agreed to cover his shifts in order to support his deployment. I'm kind of jealous -- it sounds like a fascinating and rewarding experience, and a chance to do some real good. Another of my residency mates just left the USS Comfort where she had been providing volunteer services.
Paul Levy over at Running a Hospital has a good narrative of one of their ER doc's experience in Haiti. Worth a view.
It's one of the paradoxes of Emergency Medicine that our best professional experiences are born out of other people's worst experiences. Haiti certainly qualifies. Bravo Zulu, guys.
