Philadelphia Hospitals Pitching In to Treat Injured Haitians
The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is one of several Philadelphia hospitals that have received patients from Haiti.
Dr. Rick Shannon, chairman of the hospital's department of medicine, says three Haitian women and one little boy arrived after extensive talks with the departments of State and Homeland Security.
He says they were able to receive permission to come here on humanitarian grounds:
"All of them suffered very serious crush injuries as a result of buildings falling on their lower extremities."
The little boy is being treated at Children's Hospital.
