I wonder how many generators they have in Iraq. What a great time to be involved in a useless war.

2. OMG this is a modern 300 bed facility |

4. Okay - never been to NO |

where's this hospital? I heard about another hospital - 'Charity'?
Tulane Hospital associated with Tulane University? Tulane have a medical school? Kind of like Case Western in Cleveland & University Hospital System I would imagine if so.
