Report from an ER nurse in Haiti
http://www.boingboing.net/2010/06/11/report-from-an-er-nu.html#more
A snippet:
"I didn't realize that Haiti had never had an ER until we arrived in January. It started out in tents, but we have since moved into a building and are hoping to keep the ER going after we pull out in one month. Honestly, it doesn't seem feasible because we're still running the majority of the unit. The Haitian MDs and RNs are wonderful to work with, but most of them don't show up to work. They haven't been paid by the government in four months and many of them lost their homes. So actually, I think they're angels for even showing up."

WHAT ABOUT THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN DONATED TO THE HAITI RELIEF EFFORT????? as reported in the media since the earthquake. Where the hell is that money going?
