I think what you're going to see is a second disaster: a paucity of health care resources available to the people coming back to this city. |
It could be life-threatening to those people. Those people are already living on a precipice and could be pushed off. Those people are encouraged not to come back to the city. |
Now my fear is the entire country will think it's appropriate to care for our patients in a tent. I don't think the rest of the country appreciates we are seeing people in a tent. |
The second wave of disaster is when you welcome the people back and the infrastructure of the city is not in place. |
When you place all those people back in the city without a health care infrastructure, it is a risky proposition. We're going to have a second disaster in this city. |
Without a Level I Trauma Center, you're offering second-level care. |
