Charity Hospital (NOLA) update

[Sgent]

My brother spoke earlier today to one of his friends who is a ER Resident (doctor) at Charity.

Her comments are that this is surreal. They are triaging left and right, the death count in this city will be horrific.

Windows were blown out up to the 4th floor, rooms have been closed and some used as temporary morgues. The OR such as it exists has been moved. Surgery is being done with limited anesthesia.

Pray, even if you don't believe in G-d, pray.

3. Additional info

there are 6 -- yes that's 6 -- doctor's at charity.

They were the ones that agreed to not evacuate. They are now responsible for every patient in the hospital, and any emergency cases. 4 ER Docs, 2 Surgeons.

That's it -- to cover radiology, critical care units, ER, Med/Surg...

This is going to be horrible beyond belief.
