Tonight we have 25 patients in the Cholera Hospital. It is so rewarding being able to save so many lives. There has been 125 patients that have come through the Cholera hospital since we opened Monday, Nov. 15. At least 75% of these clearly had cholera symptoms. It is safe to say that at lease half of these would have died without our hospital. Many are very poor, and simply would not have been able to make it to any cholera treatment center. Cholera kills by dehydration so very fast!! I have never seen such excessive diarrhea and vomiting. Patients can vomit and diarrhea gallons in only a few hours.
