I arrived in the DR around 2:30 yesterday morning, stopped at a friend’s parents house for some light food and 2 hours of sleep. We happened upon a small hospital with several Plastic Surgery and Orthopedic patients waiting for someone to help them.   I let my team continue on and I stayed behind with Dr. Michael Vitale, an orthopedist that I met, to do the necessary work. We did 13 cases and are now figuring out how to get to a new Haitian facility where their casualties are being taken. These are some of the most horrific injuries that I’ve ever seen in all my years of trauma.

Goodnight from Haiti.
