Greetings from Haiti! Everything is going great. I never thought I would love a cold shower so much! Hannan and I have been working with the x-ray tech here, his name is Franz. He does not speak English, but we have a translator named Joseph helping us communicate. We are actually having a blast. They are great guys and we all enjoy working together. Today Franz didn't show up, so it's Hannan, Joseph, and I. We are using a portable CR machine in a small room. BONUS is it's air conditioned- for the equipment. At times we show Franz new things and we are also learning from him the way Dr. Scott likes x-rays for the Taylor spatial frames. Unfortunately, the C-arm is not working so we haven't been in the OR yet. They have a few cases lined up for when it is up and running.
We have seen so many fractures and a large majority of them are from the earthquake and the patients are just now seeking treatment.
Gotta get back to work!
Kristen
