1980s
Michael W. Klinkner (M.D. 1980) visits Haiti on a regular basis as a health care provider with the Miami-based organization Mission to Haiti. On one trip a few years ago, Klinkner converted his group’s makeshift clinic into an emergency room when a young girl in the village, Veronique, severed her Achilles’ tendon after falling off her bike into a heap of metal. With limited supplies (including syringes of lidocaine provided by a dental technician in the group) and the help of other volunteers, Klinkner was able to repair her ankle on a picnic-bench-turned-operating-table in a goat pasture. On a return visit a year later, Klinkner was tending patients in that same pasture when Veronique came by on her bike to say, “Merci,” and show him her fully-functioning ankle. Klinkner is a family medicine specialist at Rex Urgent Care of Cary in North Carolina. A detailed account of his experience was published by Medical Economics in November 2004, and can be read online. Klinkner can be reached at Michael.Klinkner@rexhealth.com.
