I had no idea what to expect working with project medishare- and glad that i did not.  As i wrote, thought I would be doing “logistics” work… which i learned means alot of operational stuff- not so much my forte but of course i can do it- and happily so.  However when they caught wind that i was a psych i was pulled into a few cases- I also ended up acting as physical therapist “technician” and a nurse assistant.  Much of the reason for this is that there is a dire need of nurses, PTs & OTs.   So if you know any please send them Project Medishare’s way.  I will do my best the next few days to fill you in a bit of what i have been up to the past week.  In a nutshell my experience has left me in awe of the people of Haiti’s resilience and the hard work that docs, nurses, and other medical staff put in at the hospital.  20 hour days seemed to be the norm. I have mad respect for most i met there- some who will be friends for life.  Thank you Project Medishare for putting together such an incredible group and for existing in the 1st place- what you have is Haiti’s biggest and most high tech hospital going right now- you are saving many many lives.
