Hubby is going to PR next week.

chrystaltree · ‎05-10-2010

My husband is an RN; he does med surg nursing and he also has a lot of NICU experience with newborns. He's going to PR with a team of md's, nurses, lab techs etc to relieve the workers who have been living at the hospitals that are still open down there. They've been caring for patients 24/7 since the disaster. They are physically and emotionally exhausted. They are at the breaking point. Some of the team left today with supplies and medical equipment. Some are going to assess patients and escort them to hospitals here and others like hubby are going to work for as long as needed. I'm very proud of him. He's going to check out my cousin's home. It's their vacation home and if it's livable, they have offered to any of the medical team who need a place to stay. Or house patients, if it comes to that.

Thank him for being the generous soul that he is

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Our son is a pediatrician and is part of a team that left yesterday. They were heading for Ponce and the surrounding area.

@chrystaltree I forgot to add kudos to your husband and other healers. I have two sisters and 2 nieces who are all RN's.

All of the healers, first responders and so on often don't get enough thank you's for all of the generous amount of extra time they and their families give.

I've always heard that when something like this (and Las Vegas) and so on happens, it is the Drs and nurses, that (even though they aren't on duty) rush back into work to help where ever they can.

Another group you never hear much about are the people who come in and clean up these hospitals after all is said and done. I cannot imagine the blood, bandages, needles and on and on that need to be cleaned up after these people are through treating all of these emergencies.

A fairy doesn't just come in and clean it up. True, they get paid like everyone does but it doesn't take a genius to know they must have to go above and beyond what they'd normally be doing to keep this well-oiled machine going.

I wish others would commend the work these people do too.
