Israel Rocks

ABC World News ran a segment tonight praising Israel's highly efficient field hospital in Haiti. CNN and Fox News have also run segments on Israel's work in Haiti. The Israeli unit was up and running within 15 hours of arrival and (I believe) operational on Saturday morning. "And Israel came from the other side of the world", one frustrated U.S. physician stated. U.S. medical/surgical facilities hope to be operational by Tuesday morning, a full 72 hours after Israeli facilities.

The Israeli hospital has specialized units, imaging equipment, full surgical capabilities, ventilators, etc. Check out this video to see the comparison between the Israeli facilities and the U.S. facilities.

I visited Israel last year around this time and was so impressed by their highly efficient organizational skills. Seeing these videos and reading the articles make me really want to go there again.
