Another Update...

And here are some pictures from last month's trip

Me and Andy

Gudrun organizing the ortho supply room non-stop - she had to be dragged out of there on our last day

Jess got the digital x-ray machine up and running - a big improvement!!

Hanging out at the airport

Update!

The Crudem Foundation has posted a link to my blog, so I think it deserves an update (considering it's been about 18 months since I updated it...)!  Since the last update, I returned to HSC twice (12/10 and 12/11).  Each trip was incredibly busy - ortho cases, cholera, trauma, etc.  Here are some pictures from Dec 2010

Bullet on x-ray - a rare occurrence in Milot!

We celebrated my "Haitian" birthday - not my real birthday but an excuse to get a cake from Cap Haitien!
