    Cuban-run hospital performs amputations

    By Shasta Darlington

    Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) — At Peace Hospital there are mostly haunting looks and shattered bodies among the hundreds of patients stretched out on the front lawn and lying in the halls.
    But a week after a 7.0 earthquake devastated the Haitian capital, there is a glimmer of hope. Carla has opened her eyes.
    The 2-year-old was pulled out of the rubble Monday, severely dehydrated but alive and apparently without any broken bones. In an improvised tent on the front lawn of the hospital, doctors hooked an IV drip to her arm. Finally Carla woke up and blinked.
    "She was trapped. She answered ’mmmm’ when we called out to her, but we couldn’t get to her," the girl’s mother said.
    Peace Hospital is one of a dozen hospitals and makeshift clinics run by Cuban doctors who were among the first medics to arrive in Port-au-Prince. Local Haitian staff abandoned Peace Hospital when the quake hit, but now doctors who took over say they are treating about 500 patients a day.
    They are performing many amputations.
    "Now, so many days after the earthquake, those rescued are usually already suffering from gangrene," says Jorge Fran Martinez, a Cuban anesthesiologist.
    He and a team of doctors are operating on the right leg of a young woman. They hope to save it because as soon as they are finished with that procedure, they will have to amputate her left leg.
    In the corridor, another little girl on a stretcher quietly whimpers. Her face was crushed by a building, and she was trapped under the rubble for so long her chin was infected by maggots.
    "The problem is all of the patients are critical," said Luis de la Fuente, head of a Spanish team of doctors helping out. "And we have to decide who will be the first to be operated on."

    More than 300 Cuban doctors were already in Haiti carrying out humanitarian missions when the quake hit. Now there are 450, and they’ve been joined by 400 Haitian medics trained at Cuban schools, as well as doctors from dozens of other countries who don’t have their own field hospitals yet...
