A Busy Afternoon

The Mobile Pharmacy

We made it back to home sweet Heymann Center and were deployed almost immediately, this time to a shelter in the New Iberia Senior High School. Driving down, it was apparent the amount of damage from wind and rain the area had sustained. I'm glad we evacuated.

We had a busy afternoon. One patientt I saw had been staying with his sister in Abbeville, hitchiked down to New Orleans just before the hurricane, came back to Abbeville when his home was flooded - now her home is under water.

A mix of patients was about half evacuees from New Orleans, and about half that were either from Texas or the flooded local areas. A number of folks were from Port Arthur where hurricane Rita made landfall.

It's our last night in Louisiana - the next team should be on the bus heading down here by now.... Hopefully we will be able to have a good time debriefing tonight once we gather our bags.
