11/25/10 Post to Yahoo Group from Shelia Zielinski
Sister Lucrecia said that in the last 2 weeks the St. Malachy Clinic in Port Margot has seen 61 Cholera patients with 4 deaths. The deaths were related to patients traveling long distances & delays in seeking care. The clinic has been recieving patients from the Boyeou & Novion and they've been staffing 12 beds in the clinic around the clock.

Fr. Michelin (Port Margot) called tonight & they’re in need of more IV flds.

They’ve had 2 deaths this week from patients that waited too long before coming to the clinic.
