Man said he used health app on his iPhone to treat his injury while stuck under rubble By TODD WRIGHT Updated 3:38 PM EST, Wed, Jan 20, 2010 BUZZ UP! TWITTER FACEBOOK
Usually, when someone says their iPhone is a life saver, they are talking about the phone helping them find a good takeout spot or an emergency bathroom. When Dan Woolley says it, he really means it. He used a medical app saved on his phone to treat a leg injury after the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince collapsed around him. Woolley, who is from Colorado Springs, is one of the Americans who survived the massive earthquake that hit Haiti last week, and he did it with an iPhone application. Woolley is now recovering at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, but it was his fast actions with the app that may have saved his life. Woolley used the light from his iPhone to show him his injuries and diagnosed it properly as a broken foot. Then, he used the instructions from the app to treat the excessive bleeding from cuts on his legs and the back of his head.

Watched O’Reilly last night and was horrified to see the parents of students trapped under the Hotel Montana.
There is no official search and rescue going on for over a hundred Americans trapped there. Including American troops.
How can our government just allow them to suffer there all this time?
You don’t expect the o to care about troops, do you?
What's bad is those parents were initially told that their children were OK.
O’R kept saying that they had food and water under the rubble.
None of the story makes sense.
Seems as tho we have a weasley clark type in charge?
Just like the families at the Sago mine were told that 12 survivors were found.
