Dr. Nick Nelson, an internal medicine resident at Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA, shared some of his photos with us from his March trip with CIR. They give a good sense of how local hospitals are getting by with whatever scarce resources they can collect.
"This is me outside the "ICU" at HUEH, which consisted of a tent with a few fans, a portable suction machine, twenty patients, two determined nurses, and just about nothing else."
"This is the PICU at a tent hospital - it's a small subdivision of a large tent partitioned off by some shelving units containing a few portable incubators and some very sick babies."
"This is pharmacy storage. I liked this shot because of this random selection of medications, some of which were donated from Israel and are therefore only labeled in Hebrew and some of which were donated by a guy in Miami."
"This is me in the triage tent of the tent hospital with a little guy who has a carbuncle on his ear."
