Free At Last

Today had an interesting start. We live in the doctors dorms, which is a JFK provided facility. It has a gate to our sleeping quarters, which is locked with a padlock. This morning we had a lock malfunction, and we were locked in. It is quite intersting to be unable to get out your door in the morning. Luckily we were planning to head to the wards early, so we had time to call security to let us out. It took him a few tries to break the lock open, but when he finally sawed it off the door, he started to shout "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, free at last!"
There is an amazing group here right now called Hospitals for Hope. They are partnering with JFK to update lots of the wards and medical supplies. They are bringing in donated supplies from all over the world and working hard with the administration at JFK to make big changes at the hospital. I am in awe of all the good work they have done in the past week.
