I love being here, every bit. We have a wonderfully balanced group. My father, a pathologist by trade, has been working in Haiti for the past 25 years and can be effective in multiple ways. He's our ace in the hole. Ally is an ER/ICU nurse and the acute needs of emergency medicine are especially needed. Sarah and Kari are physical therapy doctoral students at USC. Since the earthquake in January 2010, the abundance of amputations and chronic injuries has left an enormous need for PTs. The remainder of us are post-bac, pre-med students, Chris, Christian, and myself. Sarah and Kari start each day doing hands-on teaching with the two staff PTs. I spent this afternoon shadowing them and it was awesome. The dedication, appreciation, and skill level of the local staff was incredible. Both have been working with different PT volunteers, especially from Italy and the Mayo clinic. Sarah and Kari also were a joy to watch, excellent teaching, enthusiasm, and patient. Wow!
