Dr. Mattox:

Well said; trauma centers are First Receivers in all types of disasters
of mass scale, regardless of politics.  Let us not have another Charity
Hospital, in the dark (ages) anywhere again.

Hospitals are victims of war.   They too loose power, but have
emergency 
generators.   Trauma centers in both countries need to stay  open.   I
have 
received information indirectly from international red  crescent and
other sources 
that the major trauma center in Lebanon only has less  than a weeks
supply of 
diesel left.     FROM A HUMANITARIAN  standpoint, please join with me to

assure that our professional and  non-political medical colleagues in
both Lebanon 
and Israel have the fuel and  the supplies and reagents that they need.
