MEDIC Corps on CBS News

Our readers have been asking for updates from the MEDIC Corps team, which includes Lawson and Nathan, that is currently in Haiti. Members from their crew were recently spotted in a video from CBS News, alongside the U.S. Coast Guard and workers from other organizations (link to Facebook video below). Their gray MEDIC Corps shirts have red and white lettering.

MEDIC Corps has been helping transport patients to medical care, as well as distributing supplies to victims of the 7.2-magnitude earthquake. In case you missed it, Nathan also spoke briefly during an NPR segment.

  1. Looks like they're very busy helping. I hope the critics give it a rest.

  3. I watched the clip and there's a lot of different volunteer groups there- hard to tell who's who. I hope no one in their organization is looking for recognition on the national news. Not sure why it's important to focus on it here.

    1. The news was there to report the news. Obviously the workers are there to work, not to "look for recognition." The blogger is reporting on it because "readers have been asking for updates," which is clearly stated in the blog post.

    2. Did you not read the blog post? She explained why she brought it up. Besides, it's her blog and she can post about whatever she wants.

    3. Why on earth would you look at that clip of volunteers working to help people and think they are doing it because they might wind up on the news? Seriously??

    4. If it's hard to tell who is who, then obviously no one was pushing themselves forward for recognition. This whole comment seems to be about casting negative shade on the volunteers and the blogger, not sure why that was necessary.

  4. NPR stands for National Public Radio. Much like PBS television station.

  5. Do they have got real medical training? I did not see any of them go to a medical school or got a degree. Anyone knows?

    1. They have training with rescue work and flying, which is all they need. They aren't there for medical work.

    2. (I assume you were asking about the Bates guys, since some of their personnel are medical personnel, which implies medical training).
