Among all the saves accomplished during the chaos triggered by Sandy the most delicate was the goal to conserve embryos in rows of incubators that were in jeopardy when the NYU Fertility Clinic lost its power. The Manhattan clinic died shortly after Sandy struck Monday night. An electrical generator set down atop the 8-story structure kept incubators wiping out the night, however flooding in the basement cut off its fuel supply. "The generator ran out of gas around 8:15 Tuesday morning," said Dr. James Grifo, the clinic 's supervisor. Without power, rows of incubators real estate delicate embryos at womb-temperature for in vitro fertilization began to cool. However Grifo and his group took action, hoisting five-gallon cans of diesel fuel up darkened stairwells to feed the failing electrical generator. "It was really a privilege to be part of that," Grifo said of his personnel 's "heroic" efforts.

Finding them first: Med student spearheads rescue and relief in Brooklyn after Sandy | Redux

Finding them first: Med student spearheads rescue and relief in Brooklyn after Sandy

Excerpt:

“I was approached by Carlos [Menchaca]” – a staffer for City Council Speaker Christine Quinn – “he heard that I had some medical training, and I said, ‘Listen, I’m just a medical student,’” Krausher, a 26-year-old MD and PhD candidate in the Robert Wood Johnson-Princeton-Rutgers Tri-Institutional Program in New Brunswick, N.J., told FoxNews.com.  “He said, ‘Look, we have nothing.  There’s no state or federal help coming in here, and we’re worried there are people stuck in their homes. ’” Kraushar was immediately reminded of Hurricane Katrina, and he became concerned about residents in Red Hook living with chronic, sometimes complicated medical conditions – who are stable under normal conditions.  With widespread power outages and many homes without heat and hot water in the wake of the storm, people suffering from easily maintained conditions could suddenly become acute medical situations, once cut off from their doctors and medications.
