Well, I getting an idea of what it is like to be in the navy (on a very relaxed scale). It seems we have mastered the hurry up and wait process and I am trying to enjoy the days off but I have had several so far and the activities are limited on a large boat. I am sure I will be dreaming of these days in the future.
We have been in Haiti for 3 days now and our crews on shore have been triaging patients and preparing for education at the hospital. Yesterday a nurse went to the general hospital and said there was 1 nurse for 150 adult patients and 75 children...talk about a stressful nurse to patient ratio. Our plans for many surgeries starting today was limited by Easter weekend in a very Catholic country, not as many people came out for the triage and health camps but we did admit a big 1 patient yesterday!!!
I will continue to update this blog but if you are interested in reading our public relations officer's blog go to www.projecthope.org and click on the continuing promise mission or USNS comfort 2009 and you should be able to see some pictures. Happy spring...it is Hot and Humid here.
