A physician’s account of post-earthquake Haiti

Set in Port-au-Prince after the 2010 earthquake, this memoir recounts an American doctor’s work with Project Medishare amid an overwhelmed medical system and widespread poverty, malnutrition, and homelessness. Its focus is on medical relief under severe constraints: the author’s experiences range from tent hospitals to the city’s general hospital, where limited staff and resources shape the care available. The account also addresses the personal limits encountered in disaster medicine, placing individual medical decisions within the wider challenges facing a devastated city.

Following the disaster, Doc Tipu begins his journey with the relief program headed by Project Medishare. From disaster relief tent hospitals to the ravaged city general hospital; Doc Tipu is forced to make difficult decisions with few resources and little medical help.
