Yesterday was extremely busy. There is no way we can keep up the volumes that we’re seeing without the appropriate number of staff. If anyone knows of any ER docs (or ER physician assistants/NPs, or people with a similar skill set) currently in Port au Prince who could help us out for a few days, PLEASE send them our way. I’m mainly looking for people who are able to do sedations (i.e. push sedation meds like Ketamine and Versed) and do procedures (major wound/burn debridements, abscess I&Ds, suturing, splinting, casting, and so on). My Haiti cell is 3480-2914 and e-mail is halv0105 AT umn DOT edu.
Thanks everyone.

**Update, Els at QCS says she may have ER Docs for us. Praying we get them down the hill and into the clinic by noon. - tara
