Yesterday, the United Sikhs Medical Team arrived in Port-Au-Prince. The team includes 3 doctors, 1 physical therapist and 1 occupational therapist. One of the doctors is a specialist in rehab and physical medicine and so he and the physical therapist and occupational therapist have set up a rehab camp at the nearby makeshift hospital. Even though they’ve just arrived, it looks like they’ve been doing a lot of good work already! There are a lot of horrific injuries at the hospital that require rehabilitation therapists and doctors and it looks as if the Medical Team is filling this previously unfilled void effectively.
Even though our Medical Team, as doctors, have been around pain and suffering so many times before, they have encountered injuries that have left them puzzled and fully appreciative of the unique extent of the destruction caused by the earthquake last month.
Two of our Team Members left this morning and we were sad to see them go. On the bright side, we’re looking forward to the arrival of Team Kitsilano from Vancouver in 2 days and other volunteers from California!
Take Care,
Team Jericho
