Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Two days after Haiti's devastating earthquake, a medical relief team made up in part of four emergency physicians and four emergency nurses from Stanford University Hospital and three emergency physicians from Columbia University Medical Center traveled under the auspices of the International Medical Corps, a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, to provide emergency medical support. Since there was no cold chain (temperature-controlled supply chain), we could not store either tetanus toxoid or tetanus immune globulin.
