The topics that we taught while we were in Haiti included: How and when to give Blood transfusions, what type of infectious agents cause Pneumonia and how it can be detected and treated, Hypertension the disease and treatment, Gallbladder Disease and treatment, and Venous insufficiency and treatment. Anyone coming down on the March team, stay tuned as Dr's Abdun-Nur, Martin, and I will try to come up with a wish list which I will post here.
As far as I have heard, each member of our team made it home safe. It was so sweet to get to know each of you and to work with you this last week. Every one of you touched the lives of both the team members and the Haitian people that we worked with. May God bless you 'till we meet again. Thanks to each team member individually:
