Hopital Adventiste On Lockdown

Last night the Haitian presidential election results were posted and the citizens reacted negatively.  In the image below by Damon Winter, Haitians burned tires, trash and earthquake rubble and blocked streets in the capital, Port su Prince.

This morning we met for a group photo before a couple of the volunteers were to leave for the airport.  Shortly after the image below was taken, we were informed that all flights in and out of Port au Prince have been cancelled and the hospital is on lockdown due to the unrest in the streets.  Fortunately, one man's misfortune is our gain as anesthetist par excellence Tim Downey is forced to spend more time with us.
