JKTS: A Japanese medical aid worker's diary: 4) Children and the elderly

Submitted by RIJS on
Item Description
March 17 I joined a medical team that is operating a first-aid station and hospital in one of the evacuation sites, where ambulances were coming in. Their beds were already full, and the waiting room was crowded by countless patients requesting to be seen. Medicine and medical supplies were desperately short. I went around to do triage and found that there were many children with temperatures up to 39°C. Uhh, I don't have a good feeling about this. My hunch was right: influenza.
