You know that the efforts to help Puerto Rico has failed when the United States Naval Hospital Ship called Comfort goes to the disaster relief effort in the island of Puerto Rico and is only having 7 hospital beds full while now people are dying from the effects of no food and drinking bad water. After a month with millions of dollars raised to help the people of Puerto Rico what has emerged is corruption and neglect. Who is overseeing the relief effort? Who is in charge? Apparently no one that cares.

Puerto Rico is still suffering after hurricane Maria. The disaster medical teams aren’t even organized meanwhile there seems to be disasters popping up everywhere often. A Doctor, Doctor Khanna quit the Puerto Rico response team called NDMS, the National Disaster Medical System, after witnessing the Trump government’s  mismanagement of the situation. She has been doing disaster relief missions for the past 20 years and is appalled by what nonsense is going on with this failed effort. There was a  Spa Day ORGANIZED by Federal staff for themselves in the middle of the disaster. They used the triage tents that should be used for victims to house spa treatments. They brought in people to give themselves nail treatments and pedicures.

They were getting paid to have spa treatments. The doctor who quit wrote, ”I find this gross misuse of taxpayer funds and abuse of our privileged positions personally abhorrent. Medical personnel responsible for seeing injured and ill Puerto Ricans who have no homes, food or supplies having a “spa day” on taxpayer money. I can no longer serve with honor.” Instead of wearing sterile scrub boots they were wearing flip flops to dry their pedicures in what should have been sterile areas.

People are now dying in Puerto Rico from treatable bacterial infections because of the lack of proper care. Desperate people have been drinking from polluted creeks and streams for water. The huge Naval Hospital Ship is docked in Puerto Rico but is not letting people on board to treat them. The ship has 800 beds and modern equipment to treat just about any illness. Three weeks after the disaster there is only 7 patients on board? Why?

There are 800 medical staff people on board. The ship is even capable to manufacture drinking water. Why isn’t that being distributed? This is an organizational failure not that   the storm is too big a failure anymore. The storm is no longer killing Americans. The Federal response to the storm is now killing Americans.
