Two comments on the letter: The author makes no mention of a evacuation plan for the hospital in place before 29 August 2005 in the event of a prolonged power outage and flooding. He mentions that this large medical center had no helicopter pad. This, in an area below sea level. They were lucky their parking deck was close enough and substantial enough to be used as a helipad, needing only the slight modification of removing the light poles.

Could you post the date & time this letter was composed? It’s very difficult to keep track of what happened when the chronology is vague.

I am looking for my doctor, Michael E. Brunet, of Tulane University Hospital. I am in dire need of physical therapy and he is the only one who can refer me to another doctor where I have evacuated to, the Lafayette area of Louisiana. If anyone knows of his whereabouts or where I can find him on the internet I would appreciate any info.
Thanks

I heard a female Dr from Tulane on the radio a couple of days after the storm hit. She was doing pretty good talking about her staff and how dedicated they were. She then started to breakup when she talked about people looting their cars as they were parked in the garage.
