Field Hospital Haiti, Part 2

More than 40 volunteers from the University of Chicago Medical Center traveled to Haiti to assist medical relief efforts in the weeks after the January earthquake. Cheryl Reed, senior editor in the UCMC Communications office, spent a week with some of the physicians, nurses and physical therapists working at a field hospital in Fond Parisien, Haiti. In Part 2, the hospital community holds church service, volunteers move the operating rooms by hand, and physical therapists and physicians talk about practicing medicine in unique circumstances.
