From the rescuers to the rescued: A tale of two hurricanes

[摘要] The roar of the turboprop engine faded as Ramón K. Sotomayor, MD, FACS, a general surgeon and surgical oncologist, was preparing to disembark from the plane. He was among a group that included one surgeon, one emergency room physician, and one intensive care unit physician assembled through an initiative of the HIMA-San Pablo Hospital System, Caguas, Puerto Rico, to assist in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, which devastated the islands of St. Thomas, Tortola, Barbuda, and a number of other Virgin Islands just a few days earlier.
