They were forced to aid some patients at the expense of others with less chance of survival. "Essentially the healthcare infrastructure of New Orleans is gone it no longer exists," said Cap-piello, who just completed a three-day mission to the city along with a colleague from the Illinois-based Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Although the city has more than a dozen hospitals, none have resumed normal operations.
