The Nuns

This little girl, with a 30% burn, was brought to our hospital from the orphange located across the border in Haiti. The nuns from the orphange accompanied her. The patient with the nuns by her side, was later transferred by helicopter to a burn center in Santo Domingo. This child is from the orphanage that the previous plastic surgery team had visited to make assessments of the need for medical care. The helicopter that had been transporting our team back and forth from the hospital to the orphanage had crashed the day prior to our arrival, killing the pilot and owner of the chopper. This patient is one of the many the pilot and owner helped.
