Report from Charity Hospital: "trash cans being used for human waste" [View All]

**Please excuse the choppy wording**..I am typing as I listen to WWL Internet stream and a reporter is speaking to a doc there.

Reporter had spoke with Charity hospital doc:

Waste cans for human waste, no electric, 210 patients still there,
staff/family number at 1,000.

Food: rationing, only canned fruits/vegetables left, stored food in basement got flooded out.

Staff frustrated that no one is evacuating them, single evac from today was from **staff** phoning for help and arranging the evac. per doc "it's not supposed to happen that way".

Patients scared/frustrated.

Vent patients can't be monitered, they were evacuated to NO airport, were turned away when they asked to land, they were then sent to Baton Rouge.


-----------
A previous report said that there were snipers at one hospital when a helo tried to land, the staff refused to come out to the helo because of snipers..even though the hospital conditions are horrible, they still didn't go to the helo.

Reporter found chopper pilot at the airport, sitting by his chopper, crying over what was going on at the hospitals evac attempts.
