 Hurricane Katrina's devastating effects were felt in more places than where she wrecked havoc.  I am from New Iberia, La. which is approximately 2 1/2 hours from New Orleans to the west.  We felt wind and rain bands from Katrina.  We experienced the fury of Rita nearly one month later.  But Katrina affected in ways that some people have never seen.  I was scheduled to do an E.P. study of my heart in New Orleans last year.  The appointment was scheduled originally for Aug. 19.  It got rescheduled around the same time Katrina was coming, therefore it was rescheduled for the first week in Sept.  Katrina came through and I have literally not heard another word from the doctor.  I think of the countless thousands of patients who were traveling to N.O. as I was who have been left as I have, to start all over from square #1.  Thank God that I have great faith in God, but what has happened to all those who don't.  Where are they and are they still alive???
