He and other survivors were flown to Florida for emergency treatment at the University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital. There he received a visit from a group of classically trained middle-school students.

ROMEL JOSEPH: "Having three surgeries last night -- one in my hand and one on each foot -- it's nice to be here. And it's nice to hear live music. Besides, I played a lot of this music, probably the kind when I was under the ground, when I was under there, and so this kind of makes me feel like I'm alive."
The New Victorian School had burned to the ground because of an electrical problem on January twelfth, two thousand. That was exactly ten years to the day of the earthquake that destroyed it again. Romel Joseph rebuilt his school then, and says he plans to do it again.
MARIO RITTER:
The University of Miami was just one of the international groups that sent a team of doctors to Haiti. Medical teams from the United States Department of Health and Human Services have treated thousands of victims. Other patients have been cared for on the United States Navy hospital ship Comfort and other Navy ships sent to Haiti.
But some groups like Doctors Without Borders said patients in field hospitals were dying because of a lack of basic medical supplies like antibiotics. In Washington, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the problem was not getting enough supplies to Haiti. It was getting them delivered to wherever they were needed.
