Whose help is needed

I was talking with Margee Louisias, a friend and MedPeds colleague of mine from Mount Sinai, about is helping here in Haiti.

Its not just doctors who are making the difference down here. In fact, often times I feel like little more than a coordinator here. But the people who contribute so much are the physical therapists, pharmacists, occupational therapists, wound care nurses, and so many more.

Anybody even remotely involved in health care has a huge role down here.

In fact, without people who can create the infrastructure required to run a hospital (from construction workers to people who are willing to organize the supplies tent), this place would not exist and our help would be useless.
