One thing is for sure, CNN reporter, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, deserves a humanitarian award for his work off camera with the Haitian survivors, often outnumbered by thousands to one doctor. He works with no hospital, no supplies to speak of and tries to monitor his patients' in the most primitive conditions. Like he said, "I'm a doctor first, a journalist second. I have to go now, will report later. New patients were just trucked in and I have to see what I can do for them." This man is a class act.
Haiti's few hospitals have all collapsed or been abandoned yet there are thousands of injured who need treatment.

I feel like my heart is breaking but I must keep the faith. May God have mercy on us all, especially the people of Haiti and the rescuers and doctors and those who are helping. This is a great post and the videos truly bring it home.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit and blogging about Haiti. The key is to keep blogging about the Haitian condition six months from now when the news crews leave and have moved on to something else. That's when the people will really need bloggers to keep the attention focused on them just like bloggers did when Hurricane Katrina happened in my part of the country. They did a lot to keep the news crews coming down here because the news people had to keep up with the bloggers! Go, bloggers! :) They shamed the media into doing what was right.
