(Port-Au-Prince, Haiti)--A medical team from Tulsa treats a man pulled from the rubble nearly a month after the earthquake in Haiti. KRMG reporter Richard Dowdell made contact by phone with Tulsa minister Rick Shield who is in Haiti. Shield is a member of an In His Image medical team out of Tulsa that arrived in Haiti over the weekend. They are working in a clinic set up near a damaged orphanage. Monday morning the Tulsans were alerted to shouts and screams as a crowd neared the clinic. A man was being carried inside by a group of Haitians. The man was extremely weak and dehydrated. He had been pulled from the rubble just minutes before. Shield says the man was buried for weeks. They have no idea if he found food as he struggled to live. The Tulsa team started IVs and did some first aid. Then they rushed the man, identified as Ean Muncie, to a hospital. Shield later checked on the man's condition and was told by doctors that he is expected to live.
