The trip down will take 2 days. The hospital is served by the Northern airport of Cap Haiten. Service is 4/week in the morning. I'll go to Fort Lauderdale today and stay with my brother, Drew. Should be in country by 1230 tomorrow.
Packing is unusual - we wear scrubs 24/7 and there is no personal laundry, so the main items are socks and underwear. My backpack and suitcase look like something from Fear and Loathing - stuffed with donated drugs and medical paraphernalia. Should be interesting going through security.

I have served as a surgeon at Hospital Sacre Coeur in Milot Haiti, during 3 weeks in March 2010 after the earthquake 2 more times in 2010 and with my daughter in 2011. In addition to a large local population, we cared for hundreds of victims evacuated from Port au Prince, and subsequently dealt with cholera and civil unreast. This blog follows my experiences both in Haiti, as well as new perspectives after my return to the States. Opinions expressed are mine alone.
