Massive increase of patients in New Orleans, Gulf region

MSNBC: You indicated early today that there was something different and disturbing about this one… the number of patients registered.

NICOLE LAMOUREUX, executive director, National Association of Free Clinics: It is overwhelming to me… We already have over 600 patients already registered [five days before clinic opens August 31], historically patients don’t start signing up until 24 hours in advance. That’s quite disturbing to me.
