In Practice: A Bellevue doctor remembers 9/11
Doctors and nurses swarmed the New York City hospital, ready to help the injured from the twin towers. But they weren't ready for happened next.
September 05, 2011|By Danielle Ofri, Special to the Los Angeles Times
By midafternoon, it was apparent that there would not be mass casualties coming to Bellevue. The administration decided to release all staff who lived locally, figuring these people could be called back easily in the evening or night if needed. I was in that group, and was discharged out into the impossibly perfect blue of that warm Tuesday afternoon.
Just in front of Bellevue stood an enormous, temporary wooden fence enclosing a new clinic under construction. Already, people had begun taping 81/2 x 11 fliers of the missing onto the wall. The official center to register missing persons had been set up in the building between Bellevue and the chief medical examiner's office — a logical but unsettling location. A queue of agitated families stretched well down the block, crowding the sidewalk.
As I walked along First Avenue, I saw people tacking up fliers on every available phone booth, lamp-post, mailbox, traffic sign. Even the news vans were papered over.

A lot of doctors and nurses and other health care workers standing around with nothing to do. Many rescue workers standing there waiting. Many new shinny heavy rescue apparatus from surrounding communities who had arrived to help but also had nothing to do. Dogs were used to listen and sniff for survivors.

I Was Working In a NYC Hospital on 9/11
On that clear blue day in September, I was working at Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital. I prepared for chaos, but none came. People either escaped or they didn’t.
Any minute the patients would be arriving and our work would begin. So we heard.
But they never did.

Rapid Assessment of Injuries Among Survivors of the Terrorist Attack on the World Trade Center --- New York City, September 2001
according to the CDC, 1016 were treated at 5 area hospitals, and out of those 362 were rescuers, and then it says, that the no's may of been less as some has multiple injuries. (See figure 1)
Where oh where are the survivors?? Also does anyone have or seen a video of people running out of the twin towers, the escapees? If so thank you.
