Doctor sees long-term needs as earthquake victims reach hospital
Dr. Katy Close of Pawleys Island is in Haiti treating victims of the earthquake like Asmek, who was paralyzed.

When Dr. Katy Close arrived at Hopital Albert Schweitzer in Deschapelles, Haiti, 60 miles north of Port-au-Prince, the first patient she saw was Asmek.
He arrived in a tap tap, a truck that Haitians use as public transportation. They jump on and off the truck bed whenever they need to get somewhere, Close said. Asmek was on board laying on top of a stretcher made out of a door.
Close, a Pawleys Island resident who splits her time between volunteering in Haiti and at the Smith Medical Clinic, said Asmek had not really been looked after.
“There was nothing anybody could do, so he got triaged to the back of the line. Many paralyzed did,” she said.
Since then, Close made treating Asmek her mission and getting aid for the paralyzed and amputee patients her goal.
