Doctor In Haiti Used Rebar To Fix Broken Leg

Volunteer surgeon, Dr Bill Tendhaaf, ran out of "external fixators" early on so he went into the trash found some rebar and went work. No pain killers in this hospital. Instead, the patients were singing Christian hymns to get their minds off the agony.  No rebar being used at HAH, but there remains a continuing need for equipment and supplies to maintain the orthopaedic program.
