1. I think that all of the doctors being in one place will do some help but not as much as they would if they were more spread out. With all of the doctors so close the problem might arise of what it a lot of doctors are needed in a certain place at a specific moment. With all of the doctors in one place, if it was a huge emergency and is far away, then that person might not get as much attention quick enough.
2. I think that when people think of medical care the immediately think of doctors and not the other people who are needed just as much. So, people might feel that they would not be needed as much because they can't do as much as a doctor can. But, what a doctor can do for you and what a physical therapist can do for you are almost the same, but what a physical therapist does, isn't as noticeable.
3. I think that for a little while longer there will be but once things start to level off again, and more and more citizens are recovering then the doctors will begin to retreat and come home to a paying job.

1) I think the coordination will help and hurt the effort. It needs to be organized, and the coordination helps there, but if they are keeping doctors who could be helping from treating people, it wont do much good.
2) I think doctors are going to help because everyone knows about all the injured people in Haiti, but people may not realise that more people than just doctors are needed there; not everyone might realise that once injured people are finished with surgery, they need to be helped more to get used to it.
3) I think that there will be a short while until the influx stops. When a disaster strikes, the place it struck wont stay in ruins forever, so it shouldnt take long until Haiti can help itself, and at that point the flow of doctors will slow down dramatically as it wont be needed as much.

1) I think that the coordination will hurt the efforts more than it will help it. There are too many doctors in one spot and many don't have any work to do there. If they were to spread out to doctors more that it will help more. However, it will help at the hospital because there could be a lot of unexperienced doctors there and the more experienced doctors will help them learn.
2) I think that more doctors are going because they heard that there needs to be a lot of medical attention and so they wanted to give back and help. I think that because there are so many doctors there, the nurses and phsyical therapists think that they dont have to go. There should be many different kinds of medical attention in Haiti.
3) I think that there wont be an influx of doctors anymore. There will be a lot of doctors down there for a little while longer but soon there wont be. Most of the patients will have been treated and they will know how to take care of themselves. Therefore, the doctors wiill leave Haiti although some may stay.

1. If they keep all the doctors at the same hospital then the relief efforts might be harmed. They need to spread the doctors out and maximize the their abilities. If they are able to quickly organize them, then many more victims of the earthquake will be able to get help and the relief efforts will not be harmed.
2. I believe that more doctors are going to Hattie then nurses and therapist because since there are so many injuries, people think that more doctors are needed and not nurses. After all, the doctors and surgeons perform the actual surgeries, but people aren't realizing that nurses are needed to help take care of the injured after being treated by doctors.
3. No, I don't believe there will be a influx of doctors arriving at Hattie, because once the first wave of doctors arrive, other surgeons will think that they have it under control and no more help is needed. Also once the rebuilding efforts take to full swing, people might forget about the injured and more workers will be sent instead of doctors.

1. I think that the problems with coordinating all the doctors will both harm and help the relief efforts. It will harm the relief efforts because since there aren't enough room for all the injured to get cared for, the doctors coming in are just useless. However, if the doctors helping out right now get sick or are unable to keep helping their patients, the others that came along can step in.

2. I think more doctors are going to Haiti to volunteer because they know they would have more of an important role when treating all the injured people. The doctors have more knowledge than the nurses and physical therapists do. Nurses and physical therapists also only do the minor stuff, while doctors can perform things such as operations.

3. No because now that it is recognized that the doctors need to go and help other parts in Haiti, I think it will happen. Before, they might have not known how many other doctors were in the same part and now that they know they have less of a chance to help out, they will move to different a different part.

1) No, I don't believe it will harm the relief efforts, but just delay them. Since so many doctors are waiting around, it can't make anything worse than it already is.
2) Well, when such a disaster like this occurs, the first initiative is to bring in as many doctors as possible. Other specialists such as physical therapists and nurses aren't called upon immediately, as the injuries need to be treated by doctors quickly.
3) I believe groups of doctors flowing in to Haiti will be replaced by other medical staff. It has already been recognized that there are too many doctors, and sending more would be useless until further notice.

1. I do not think the relief efforts will harm Haiti because all it will do is slow the process down a little. Also they should spread out a little so everyone in Haiti gets medical treatment.
2. The reason there are more doctors than nurses and physical therapists is because doctors are the first move when a disaster occurs. Nurses aren't needed because only doctors do risky surgery and there is no reason to have nurses crowding up space when it should be fill with doctors.
3. I think that there are already enough doctors here in Haiti and will move to more nurses and such in a few months. But, no more doctors should come to Haiti because they have enough, they just need to be spread out.

1. This relief effort is going really slow. But once organized, the doctors will effectively help everyone in Haiti.
2. When people think of a doctor, they think a person who can cure anything. But each doctor usually has a specific role of what they know. Maybe the government did not know that they need a variety of doctors to help out the people in Haiti.
3. Yes there will be, the people are suffering over there and their are many help needed to help Haiti to be backed to normal.

1. I say that with too many doctors being around, something is bound to go wrong at some point if they are not better organized.
2. I think that not enough therapists and nurses are going to Haiti because they do not think that they will be able to do enough.
3. i hope that the influx of doctors into Haiti will be better used and organised. if it stops, it will have time to organize if it doesnt, well, let's see what happens.

1.)Yes, I think this fault in organization will harm the relief efforts. If you can't coordinate all the doctors you have something is bound to go wrong sometime. Disorganization can cause many and massive problems, making the process more confusing and troublesome.

2.) I think that more doctors are going because they can generally afford it more than nurses and therapists. These doctors are not getting paid now, but the massive amounts they tend to earn while working regularly enables them to go and help out in this time of crisis. Nurses and therapists tend not to have as large an income as doctors, so this sacrifice of pay would hit a lot harder, even though I am sure many of them wish they could help.

3.) I think that after this initial shock, the massive influx of doctors will slow down and eventually die out. The world is rushing to Haiti's aid now, but what about in 3 months? A year? People will eventually have less interest, and the cause might not seem as urgent after time passes.

1. Yes, I think that this will definitely harm efforts for relief. The doctors need to be organized and obviously they need to communicate to be more efficient.
2. At this point, I think that doctors will be most helpful in treating the people in Haiti rather than nurses with less experience and therapists that would not be able to help as much. Doctors can do more intense surgeries and help the critically injured more.
3. No, I think that the most doctors will be helping now because the time right after is the most important in saving lives. The urgency of the situation lessens every day, so I think that the number of doctors will decrease.

1) I think that relief efforts will be harmed. People need to take charge of the doctors and organize them. Doctors need to get to areas where help is actually needed.
2) I think that many doctors are going to help Haiti because they can actually heal those who are dying and severely injured. Nurses could help but would not be as affective as doctors.
3) No, I think less and less doctors will travel to Haiti because the situation is becoming old in some peoples minds. The urgency isn't as great and people are already there to help.

I think it will. That is because it wasn't just Port-au-Prince that was damaged. Also, they are waiting around and not getting practice, so they might get restless and careless.

There are more doctors going to Haiti because nurses and physical therapists aren't allowed to write subscriptions and perform operations.

I think there will be, because that is the trend going on. When the problems aren't nearly as large, doctors will start to leave because there won't be as big of a need for them.

1)Yes, i think that if the doctors aren't organized, then the people in need will be at more risk because the more help there is, the better.
2)I think more doctors are going because they think that it will be best to aid the people who are injured and in danger of losing there lives before getting many nurses and physical therapists to help.
3) I do think there will be an influx because after the problems start becoming fixed, there wont be as much doctors needed. As the people of Haiti start recovering from this disaster, there wont be as much need for so many doctors to come in and help.

1) Yes, I think one of the main reasons Haiti is having so much trouble is because they aren't organized at treating the injured. If they could designate areas where people could get proper treatment then all that's left to do is set up housing and food. The problem is that injured people aren't able to get food or set up housing which is why they really need to help heal those who need it.
2) The reason not as many nurses and physical therapists are going is because when you think of medical attention you think of docters, not physical therapists. If the physical therapists knew they were needed and it wasn't just docters being called down then more of them would come. It's just that they aren't aware. The nurses aren't aware that they're needed either, they assume the docters have it under control and that they don't have the correct training.
3) I think they amount of docters flocking to Haiti is going to decrease because people will think the main crisis is over when it's really not. There will be other disasters and people will very quickly forget about this tragedy even though the need for docters will probably increase.

1. Yes, i do think it will harm the relief affect. I think that since there is so many doctors that the process is going much slower than it should be. More doctors should mean more help. If there were 20 hospitals and a doctor in each room, there would be a lot more people getting help.
2. I think the reason that not as many nurses and physical therapists are going as doctor is because in my mind when i think of medical help I think of doctors. The nurses are there to help the doctors and the Physical therapists are there to help out after, so right now i think people believe that only doctors are needed even though thats not true.
3. Yes, as of right now i do think more doctors will continue to go to Haiti because i think everyone wants to help in any way they can. I think as time goes on, less doctors will continue to come.

1) I think yes because everyone is focusing so much on organizing the doctors.
2)I think that so many doctors are going because they are expected to be needed most. A lot of people that nurses and physical therapists are not needed as much as doctors.
#) Yes, I think as time goes by more and more doctors will come and bring medical help.

1) Yes because I think that something will get messed up causing many people to not be seen or taken care of.
2) I think there are more doctors going because they know exactly what to do and can do it without help from other officials.
3) I think there will be a few more waves of doctors going and then it will die down more as time goes on.

1. Yes, I think that it will harm more than it would do good because with all the doctors just sitting there doing nothing while people from Haiti are sitting there in need of help.
2. I think that since there are so many Doctors there all ready that means that the nurses and physical therapists think that my going it would cause a worst situation.
3. I think that week after week the doctors and anyone who else goes will start to decrease by hundreds.
