A request from Haiti from me.......


Now besides your money I want STUFF, too.

Here is a sad story.
A friend from Haiti who attends med school here lost a teacher and some classmates in the EQ. He had left the school building just a short time before. Today he was studying physiology from a book published in 1974 in French. The official medical school language here is French.

If any of you (my friends) have any medical texts that are slightly outdated- like published since 1999- they would be well used down here. French is nice but English is great also. He speaks fair English as do many of his classmates. check your bookcases for old dusty med texts AND ANSWER ME ON THIS BLOG IN COMMENTS SECTION ( I may run out of rum).

Subjects of interest would ne Anatomy & physiology, internal medicine, pediatrics , surgery, clinical exam, liver, cardiology,etc.
I am working on a place (East Coast area???) where they could be sent to and shipped to Florida for possible small plane transport here or with other volunteers who will be coming to Les Cayes from the U.S.

Sure appreciate your listening.........love..jerry nase

  1. Geez. Finally figured out how to get on this and communicate with you! Should have asked the 16 year old! Glad you made it. Chuckled through the image of you sitting through mass with a bunch of little boys who've been scolded by the priest first! This is a cynical Alaskan who is asking who gets the one grain of rice for responding to you-you or a kid! No cynicism here. Just great regard for what you're doing there. Finally sunny here for two days in a row. Still, after a trip to Bethel on Monday, spring break can't get here fast enough for a trip to the northwest. Keep them coming! Hello from both of us.

  2. Hi Jerry,

    I'm signed up with RNRN as a volunteer, but they may not want the likes of me down there. I have nursing books from the early 90's, but that is the best I can come up with.

    Take care of yourself.

    Terry
