Operating In The Dark In Haiti

This video was produced by LLU medical student David Puder during a volunteer trip last year with Dr Nelson to the Hopital Justinien in Cap-Haitien located in northeastern portion of Haiti.
David writes, "As we started to operate on a patient who had been waiting months for surgery, power went out. This case was at night, so there was no light. Dr. Nelson proceeded with the case, and used the SIGN system which does not require power.   This trip was funded by CURE international, however I have no formal relationship with them at this time. Since then our class has adopted a hospital in Haiti which is currently providing earthquake relief."
