Five Years Later | haitibones

The following post was written by Scott Nelson, MD after returning from a brief visit to Haiti earlier this month. It was a balmy January afternoon 5 years ago (January 12) when the world lost contact with Port-au-Prince. For me it started out as just another day in Santo Domingo with a seemingly unremarkable earthquake on my way home from work. Chadme wheelchair bound in 2011 due to severe knock knees from rickets. Chadme walking normally in 2015 after bilateral lower extremity surgery. Email check fail...

Dark Side Of Doing Good. At Loma Linda University’s 2015 Alumni Postgraduate Convention seminar on Global Orthopedics, Merrill Chaus gave both a disturbing and challenging presentation entitled, “The Dark Side Of Doing Good.” Disturbing because, as a veteran of several overseas mission trips, I knew that I had personally violated many of her recommendations – challenging in the sense that I vowed to try and improve my track record in the future. With her husband Dr. John Herzenberg. Do anticipate and pac...

Culture Shock | haitibones
https://haitibones.wordpress.com/2015/03/16/culture-shock/comment-page-1
Another update from Elaine. Anyone who has spent time volunteering overseas experiences culture shock in one form or another, sooner rather than later. Elaine is a tough lady, sounds like she is handling it well. Another matter for prayer has presented itself. Not the spiritual darkness gripping Haiti, not the abject poverty or continual birth anomalies presenting at the OR, but splashing, spurting water from air-filled pipes. A neighbor wrote yesterday, It’s time for you come home! Is it time to go home?

Light At End Of The Tunnel. It’s been a couple of months now since a group of us made a quick trip to Hopital Adventiste d’Haiti. We had originally planned the venture to inaugurate the newly renovated operating theater on the 5th anniversary of the Big Quake. But several weeks before our departure we were informed that the construction project was not even close to coming to fruition but we decided to make the journey anyway.
