Message From Dr. Mortel: Yesterday, I worked in the hospital St. Francois de Sales which is a Catholic hospital in Port au Prince. Although severely damaged by the earthquake, it is the only hospital with a functional operating room. Three buildings of the hospital collapsed and buried an estimated 100 children and adults. CRS with a surgical group from Belgium managed to open 2 more operating rooms. All patients are housed in the courtyard. Debris is yet to be removed and the stench is of high intensity. No radiology or laboratory services but we do have antibiotics, analgesics and other medical supplies to function. I head a team composed of an intern, a second year medical student and 3 nurses and we care for patients with whatever condition. It is a bit chaotic but the team members are very cooperative. The Belgian group will leave on Monday and I understand that a trauma team from the University of Maryland will be coming. Any physician of other
 specialty who wants to come may want to contact the Maryland group. I have seen first hand the leveled city and the people in the streets and in camps. It is heartbreaking. That's all for now. It is time to go to the hospital. Continue to pray for the Haitian people. A bientot.
