There has been great progress since last March, not just at HSC, but also the area surrounding Cap Haitian. The road is being repaired and paved, allowing me to keep most of my fillings on the ride in. There is significant building (with appropriate structural support) in the city, and numerous projects are being completed in the compound. The prosthetics lab is spectacular and the Operating rooms now have a scrub sink just outside the door, instead of 50 feet away. And there are new OR lights instead of a gooseneck lamp.
But what really made me smile was the progress at the tent city for the quake victims. The census is now below 100, with most of the issues being orthopedic malunions, and spine injuries. One of the tents now houses overflow for the care of local patients, and Tent 1 is now the expanded ED.
And there is new signage for each of the tents, courtesy of Caritas. It’s not Staples Center, but…….
