"We worked in Carrefour, west of Port-au-Prince, in a makeshift clinic set up in a nightclub. We saw close to 200 patients every day, whose complaints ranged from crush injuries and wounds, to respiratory illnesses following exposure to environmental irritants from collapsed buildings. Many patients showed signs of psychological trauma. Others presented with infectious diseases due to overcrowding and poor hygiene. Many patients suffered from untreated chronic conditions from a general lack of access to primary care."
