September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Dear friends, Thank you for your e-mails expressing your concerns over the events fo the last few days... it has been, as you can imagine, an unbelievable, almost surreal set of events. All hospitals in the entire metropolitan area have been placed on highest alert, esential personnel are being required to stay in house at all times... I myself have only just returned from long evening of anticipation and seemingly eternal stress. The stream of casualties has been slow... a mixed blessing, in that it has been manageable, while on the other hand, the slower the pace, the poorer prognosis. The city is literally under "martial law"... all bridges and tunnels have been closed, mass transit is at a standstill, and businesses are largely shut down... driving into the city today (as medical personnel) traffic congested streets were vacant... there is a palpable sense of foreboding, and deep concern. The extent of the trauma is not yet realized... an estimated 10,000 people were in the WTC buildings at the start of the business day. I returned home this evening to see a gathering of 8 children under the care of a resident in my building... each of whom who's parents have not "returned from work" in the financial district... There is a overhanging, nauseating smell of burning rubber that lingers over the city, and perhaps most physically evident, a gaping hole where the twin towers used to mark the NYC skyline. It may seem cliché now to speak of the "spirit of New Yorkers", but I can tell you, there is a remarkable outpouring of volunteerism, hlines in blood donation lines, hundreds deep, and people opening their doors to firemen, and police to take a nap or take a shower. It is incredible. ON the medical personnel front, this disaster is larger than any of us could have imagined... and the medical students and residents that make up the backbone of the health care network in NYC have been truly heroic in their efforts. As the events unfold in upcoming days, we can only hope for the best...
