Health workers among the many who stood up amid the storm Joe Raedle/Getty Images We are only starting to understand the full extent of the damage and losses that Harvey has wrought. But amid all the grim news, I wanted to take a moment to share some of the stories out of Texas that wowed me and brought me uplift. More than two dozen hospitals were forced to temporarily close as a result of Harvey. You may have asked yourself, "What happens to patients when a hospital evacuates?" Well, our [Q&A with Darrell Pile]( offers some fascinating insights, one of which is that for every hospital that evacuates, perhaps 10 other hospitals have to step up to take patients. It's like a giant puzzle, matching patients with available beds and the right kinds of beds. A team of people was furiously working that puzzle last week. We also heard from [Dr. Karen Lu, the chief medical officer of MD Anderson Cancer Center](. She spoke with huge pride about the team that cared for 528 inpatients after the hospital closed its doors Sunday. As she pointed out, a hospital is not just doctors and nurses. It's lab technicians, pharmacy technicians, people who sterilize instruments, cooks, cleaners, security guards and more -- who worked through the storm, separated from their families, as many of their homes flooded and the street outside the hospital turned into a river. We heard from [Dr. Steve Fadem, medical director at DaVita Med Center Dialysis]( who was tending to patients, some of them in bad shape after missing several days of dialysis. With a waiting room packed with 100 people, Fadem said the problem was not a lack of machines, it was that many nurses and techs were unable to get to work. But they were working on that problem with the help of a team from Baton Rouge who had shown up with boats and were helping to ferry both passengers and workers in. I happened to catch the story of Lisa Eicher's family on CNN. It's a story that went viral, but in case you missed it, here's [her Instagram post]( which begins with an account of what she said to the rescue crew who showed up at her Conroe, Texas, home: "'We've got two kids with Down syndrome, a three legged dog, and a pig. All of whom will be freaked out.' I told the firefighter. 'Perfect!' He replied." Psychologists are in fact applauding the changes made to pet policies since Hurricane Katrina, when many residents refused to leave their homes after being told they couldn't take their pets with them. Houston officials allowed pets into the city shelters this week. And what about the Washington Post's beautifully-told tale of the [four workers trapped inside a Mexican bakery]( By Saturday night, all but four of the employees at [El Bolillo]( Wayside location had made it home and the store was sold out of bread when the punishing rains began. The four who were left decided to make the most of their situation by baking. Over two days, they turned an estimated 4,400 pounds of flour into thousands of bread items, sleeping on sacks of flour when they needed to rest. And all that bread? It was later delivered to shelters and a nearby police station. So thank you, bakers and nurses and techs and good samaritans all around. You stood up this week, and we noticed. -- Your Shots editor Andrea You received this message because you're subscribed to our Health emails. | [Unsubscribe]( | [Privacy Policy]( | NPR 1111 N.
