DN!: Doctor: Misinformation and Racism Have Frozen Recovery Effort at General Hospital in Port-au-Prince

Ken has sent you a story from Democracy Now!, a daily independent radio and TV news program:

“There are no security issues,” says Dr. Evan Lyon of Partners in Health, reporting from the General Hospital in Port-Au-Prince in Haiti, where 1,000 people are in need of operations. Lyon said the reports of violence in the city have been overblown by the media and have affected the delivery of aid and medical services. [includes rush transcript]

Do you believe what he's saying about there being no violence? I

I don't agree with the racism comment as most of the doctors are there because they choose. They are haitian doctors that come to Florida after the quake, I understand some might have family obligation. They might be a small minority that have second thought, but most of them have a good heart. Disagree with DN
