Ever since I read Mountains Beyond Mountains, which was before I even went to medical school (and may have been an inspiration to do so), I've wanted to follow in Paul Farmer's footsteps and do medical work in Haiti. I've been learning a bit of Creole with a book and Pimsleur in preparation for the trip which begins tonight. I fly to Miami, and I'll spend the night in a nearby hotel, then fly out pre-dawn to Port-au-Prince, where I'll spend the week in a very busy hospital. Lopital Bernard Mevs is part of the ongoing rebuilding efforts, and I'm going with a team from Project Medishare, coordinated by the University of Miami.
