A country devastated by tragedy. A young doctor's inspiring journey. A people with great hope. In the poorest country of the western hemisphere, Tipu Khan an American doctor confronts tragedies resulting from one of the greatest natural disasters in our recent history. This is an inspiring story accounting true cases in the devastated capital city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After the earthquake of 2010, the Haitian medical system was grossly understaffed and unable to care for the victims. Poverty, malnourishment and vast homelessness reached levels unprecedented. Following the disaster, Doc Tipu begins his journey with the relief program headed by Project Medishare. From disaster relief tent hospitals to the ravaged city general hospital; Doc Tipu is forced to make difficult decisions with few resources and little medical help. In this moving memoir, Doc Tipu confronts his limits as a physician and as a human. More at: www.DocTipu.com
