'Knowing that there is a sudden incident that has happened in the blink of an eye that has taken away human life and has caused suffering, it's very difficult to standby.'
A west suburban doctor is once again being hailed a hero.
"Knowing that there is a sudden incident that has happened in the blink of an eye that has taken away human life and has caused suffering, it's very difficult to stand by." Makil said. He's an Emergency Medicine and Trauma Physician in the Chicagoland area, but he's also the director for Medical Disaster Response for Humanity First USA."We look at epicenters of earthquakes and epicenters of disasters. I could not tell which was the epicenter because the extent of damage was so far and wide, expanding over 150 miles, city after city."
"It was numbing after the first few days. You see one building down, another building down. Rubble, pile rubble afte pile of rubble everywhere.""I had a gentleman who carried his wife, slung over his shoulder and walked into our clinic. You would think, there's no wheelchair to bring her in and there's no transportation," Malik said."This is the way he would have to bring her because she suffered from massive crushed injuries.
