Violinist Struggles To Regain Use Of Hands Crushed In Haiti Earthquake

Romel Joseph, a 50-year-old Haitian-American who had already triumphed over blindness, had his left hand crushed by a falling wall and his right impaled by nails (not to mention a leg crushed and pinned by another wall) in the January earthquake that destroyed Port-au-Prince. Doctors, nurses and musicians are coming to Joseph’s aid as he recovers in a Miami hospital.
