“God Gives the Cows Tails to Shoo Away the Flies” – A Haitian Creole Proverb

Warning: Graphic Photos

We had 150 patients waiting to see the doctors… All the patients had checked in and were waiting to see a doctor when we got the news that there had been an accident in front of Miracle Village, which is not far from us.

We heard that there was a motorcycle accident involving four people, but one of them was hurt worse than the others… Mackenson Meus.

Mackenson told the doctors and nurses that while he was driving on his motorcycle, he saw a truck coming out of the intersection, so he stopped to let the truck pass. That’s when another motorbike was coming full speed ahead, lost its brakes, and was coming right at Mackenson and the others. His foot was injured down to the bone and bleeding, and because Mackenson was thrown on his face, it was cut and bleeding badly.

Mackenson was taken to our ER, and the doctors went to work on him. After cleaning him up and getting his wounds sewn up, he was transferred to another hospital for continued care via our ambulance.

We are so thankful to our wonderful doctors and dedicated staff who know what to do and where we have to send the worst cases.

Haiti is a poor country, where the majority cannot receive good medical care due to a lack of money.

Our Haitian Pastor prays for each one so that they are touched by “the Great Physician!” We are so thankful for the Jesus Healing Center Clinic and for our wonderful doctors and nurses.
