So we had another round of goodbyes this morning...yuck! Miss the crew already and I swear I will hear someone come into the lounge and think it's someone who is gone already. The good news is, the next round of send-offs will include me! And I still have Nicole here to help me keep my sanity! So apparently word has gotten out that next week the SP CTC will no longer be accepting transfers because we got slaughtered with them today...I think about 15 in one hours time. But the triage tent rocked of course with Dr. Andrew, Dr. Taina, Sheriline and myself keeping the flow going! Apparently I started an IV on a famous Haitian comedian...of course I didn't find that out til after I sent him to the back. I do have to say I didn't find him very funny! :). A sad note to the day was a father telling one of the nurses that he wanted to send his baby to an orphanage because he has 7 other kids and can't afford this little one. Our staff tried to help him out by giving him formula and diapers but next thing we know he made a phone call to someone who agreed to take the baby. One of the American nurses took it pretty hard because she's been taking care of this little one for days. Next thing we know the Haitian nurse comes back from discharge with the family's address and phone number and gave it to the nurse like she could come take him with her. Reality really hits home here sometimes! But tomorrow is another day so we press on...
