"Police say they don't want to go there. It's too hard on them to go see their own people," said Patricia Freling, a Florida nurse who's volunteering in East Grand Bahama.Freling is part of a US medic team on an aid trip to Grand Bahama -- a once gorgeous island of 51,000 residents before Dorian pulverized it.Mental health counselor Betsy Rosander is used to difficult circumstances. But today is different.
"My fear is that if no one stacked the bodies, they might still be there," said Tanya Steinlage, an emergency pediatric nurse practitioner."When I got back the last time, I had to throw out my scrubs," she said."I couldn't take it." Resident Patrice Higgs, 49, survived the storm in Mcleans' Town Cay. But she cut herself sifting through the rubble.Another survivor tells the team he saw four people get washed away during the hurricane. But like many other residents, they're nowhere to be found.
By the end of their first day in East Grand Bahama, the medics identified at least 30 locations where they smelled corpses -- even if they couldn't see them. On Tuesday, Russell paid $49.50 to board a ship that evacuated hurricane victims to Florida. When he stepped on the boat, he wasn't sure exactly where he would stay in the United States.
