I just got off the phone with Norman (McSwain) - He needs help.
Apparently, Merry was not correct about patients getting out of
Charity. Tulane is evacuating and will finish today but only 8 patients
have made it out of Charity.

He is asking us to get the word out that there are 250 patients and
staff at Charity that are living on fruit Juice. Patients are dying,
the rest are in soiled sheets and it's 110 degrees down there.

They have not heard from the governor or the national guard and while
people are getting out of the dome, no-one is getting out of Charity or
University Hospital.

If you can get the words to media outlets please do.

Norman will leave Tulane with the last patient today as he feels he can
do more on the outside

I just got off the phone with Merry McSwain,
They flew 160 patients out of Charity today. Norman is scheduled to fly
out with the last patients tomorrow morning to Lafayette. He told Merry
that this has been the longest 30 hours of his life. As for the TNS
coordinator, I haven't heard of her directly but the staff is getting
out with the patients.
