I am friend of one of your patients and...Dr. Elrod,<br />I am friend of one of your patients and love seeing your Facebook updates. As an almost graduate RN (38 days), I LOVE hearing how hands off and thoughtful you are with laboring moms. Seeing you and your gorgeous wife doing such amazing work in Haiti has elevated you even further in my mind, beyond what most OBs are capable of. I cringed when I read about the preeclamptic mom who had been taken off of Mag and was really sorry to hear it ended in a IUFD, although it was sadly expected. Without knowing much about maternal care in Haiti (beyond your description), I am wondering why IUFD is so common. Are gestational diabetes and PIH not diagnosed and treated appropriately? Infection because of substandard health care practice? Keep up the fantastic work and never question if you are making a difference in Haiti. You guys are also renewing my faith in the ability for medical professionals to remain feeling, humble human beings. Thank you.
