Lynn comes from a mindset and a peer group of truly caring about the patient. For example, they take pride in the fact that their hospital has the lowest Caesarean rate in the state of New York.? It was really difficult for her to see a group of women that had been trained by American volunteers, are now paid on an ongoing basis by the same American volunteer group, and who exhibit very little care or concern for their patients.? And then to hear someone say that "it's like that in all Haitian 'hospitals' (to use the word loosely).

Ron, don't worry about your comments.? I too think she had a positive impact, maybe not in the places she expected, but still true.

I am sure it was frustrating but I have to think that she made a difference. even if it was one person it was worthwhile. I hope my comment is appropriate.
