At 2 am Thursday, Ivers rested. She’d gone 48 hours without sleeping, eating, or even sitting down.
How did she handle being the only doc?
“I don’t know,” she says. “I think automatic mode kicks in.”

From Dr. Gupta's blog - the story of Dr. Louise Ivers who happened to be at a meeting in Haiti during the earthquake. This story relates how she was the only doctor in the area and was trying to treat hundreds of people with no supplies or medication. An amazing story.
Dr. Gupta hasn't been on the air because he is performing trauma medicine instead of reporting. The right thing to do, and I applaud it.
While Crohn's disease sufferers have our own things to deal with, it's nothing like what people in Haiti are going through this week.
