Team 2, Day 2 +
Ravi and I have made it off the big island onto the small island. This afternoon we flew in a small single engine 6 seater to La Gonave with Aileen and Raymond. The other option which was originally entertained was to take a converted lobster boat across, but after hearing of the 10 foot swells the boat encountered, we are glad someone chose to fly us over. Thanks to Dan Irvine, I think.
The compound and hospital on La Gonave are really true luxury compared to what we experienced at Petit Goave. It won't be all holiday though - tomorrow we are starting with a large hernia on a 2 year old, and I know after our tour of the hospital tonight that I'll have to be thinking my way through the case and figuring out the equipment at the same time.
Thanks Colm , for the account of your work so far. You are a real team player and an inpsiration to everyone , I'm sure. I think of you (all) many times throughout my day and pray for your strength and safety.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you ,the lobster boat is seaworthy.

hey Colm sounds like the rollercoaster hadn't stopped after we left! So much to do,so much needed,so much misery ahead for the people of Haiti. We all need to as Dan would say "push back". Hope all is well and all of you are safe and healthy. (body and soul). Colin
