I know how you feel Jack. I've been feeling the same ever since we started getting ready to leave Grenada. Just like the locals, I was caught up in the frenzy of meeting the normalcy of life I have grown accustomed to. The difference is that the locals can't just click their heels and be home. While I wanted to stay behind, I don't think I was ready enough to stay, not to mention that the more of us staying behind puts a greater strain on the island. It's a guilt that is difficult to bear, especially since by leaving, we seem to be contradicting the oath we are borne to take as we venture to be doctors to always help our fellow man. However, it has already happened and we are off the island. Therefore, let us use this opportunity to provide aid we wouldn't have been able to provide otherwise. For instance, let us rally those we know and those around us to contribute resources or more to these victims. We have a first-hand experience that those around us cannot deny and that is a very powerful message to carry. If and when we return, let us not return empty-handed. Thanks for bringing this topic up... I'm glad I'm not alone but let us do something about it...

Peace,
