Haiti: The Thinking Behind the Hard Choices a new article out now on the Medicins San Frontieres website…
[MSF surgeon Angeleke] Saridakis was reminded of injuries she’d seen in war zones on previous missions, except this was “on a larger scale.” Even in the worst conflict areas, there is an ebb and flow to emergency medical needs. In Haiti, however, everyone had been wounded at the same time.
This article fills me with a sense of urgency – I know I have to get over there as quickly as possible and with as much resource as I can manage. What’s that? 230,000 people dead??? That number is no massively unimaginable… I can’t for the life of me think I can make much of a dent in helping people – but maybe, just maybe I can make a few lives better. With the hope I can do that, I am on my way….
