Survivor Pulled From Haiti Quake Rubble
Source: CNN


PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (Feb. 8) – A man pulled alive from the rubble of a building in Haiti's capital Monday may have been trapped since the Jan. 12 quake that leveled much of the city, doctors reported.

The 28-year-old man, identified as Evan Muncie, was found in the wreckage of a market where he sold rice, his family told staff at a University of Miami field hospital. He suffered from extreme dehydration and malnutrition, but did not appear to have significant crushing injuries, the doctors said.

"He was emaciated. He hadn't had anything in quite some time. He had open wounds that were festering on both of his feet," said Dr. Mike Connelly of the university's Project Medishare.

The people who brought him to the hospital said they found the man while digging out the marketplace, Connelly said.

5. Holly Molly this quake will lead to the rewriting
of way too many protocols. That said he WAS at a market and probably had access to some food and water.
