Measuring success in the face of disaster

Jonathan Eisenberg of Needham
Measuring accomplishments on a small scale is relatively easy – you shovel a path through heavy snow or you complete a term paper. Success, or its ugly stepbrother failure, is black or white, as clearly as a car is turned on or off. While trying to determine the level of success I had in my month long medical mission in  Haiti, I was struck with just how many factors go into answering: How successful was I?

Jonathan Eisenberg of Needham is a medical student at the University of Vermont. He worked as a clinician at two primary health care clinics in Port au Prince in Haiti for the non-profit organization Housing Works.
