There is no food in Charity Hospital. They're eating fruit bowl punch and that's all they've got to eat. There's minimal water.

Wheels down to wheels up.

This is a national disgrace. FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control. We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims, but we can't bail out the city of New Orleans.

We have been trying to call the mayor's office, we have been trying to call the governor's office ... we have tried to use any inside pressure we can. We are turning to you. Please help us.

By tomorrow, we'll have dead patients simply because they were not evacuated.

One patient from Charity was being hand-ventilated. That patient was almost dead when he left here.

My goal was to get out with the knowledge I have ... and get the word out on what was really going on, and try to prevent things like this in the future.

Somebody needs to come in a hurry.

We need coordinated help from the government.
