AT work at LSU, nothing going on, campus deserted. Everyone talking about the plans but I was expecting a bee hive and it looks more like a ghost town. They are roping off an area of campus. And the campus is clean, crews picking up branches, etc. I don't see a single emergency vehicle. Docs calling in to help can't find out where to go, the radio said the gov office said "it is up in the air". I don't know but it is empty here. Rumor has it kids are coming to the basketball center and there are medically ill people at the Field House. We are eating donuts and swapping stories.
LSU Health Sciences Center needs medical personnel
11:50 PM CDT on Tuesday, August 30, 2005
LSU Health Sciences Center is asking for doctors, residents and medical students who would like to help provide medical support.
Those interested should call (225) 763-5762 or email jtakenak@dhh.la.gov.
Emergency medicine, internal medicine and surgeons are most needed right now but all specialities could be needed at some point.
Unbelieveable. The Governor and her staff don't even know what to do with doctors? This is just beyond bizarre.
Looks like they are going to breech the levies set to protect the city in order to drain the water the fastest.
Your note kinda reminded me of all the ERs staffed and waiting after 9/11...
Thank you for your local update.
