PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — On a recent morning at a hospital in the heart of gang territory in Haiti’s capital, a woman began convulsing before her body went limp as a doctor and two nurses raced to save her.

They stuck electrodes to her chest and flipped on an oxygen machine while keeping their eyes on a computer screen that reflected a dangerously low oxygen level of 84%.
No one knew what was wrong with her.
Even more worrisome, the Doctors Without Borders hospital in the Cite Soleil slum was running low on key medicine to treat convulsions.

A QB room consisting of Wilson, Jarrett Stidham, Ben DiNucci and a seventh-round flier to be named late would be the worst in the division.
In George Paton’s 24 years of working in the NFL, he has rarely seen conflict on draft night.
Even though the Broncos general manager’s draft philosophy differs from that of head coach Sean Payton, the goal is to avoid tension inside the draft room at the team’s facility by taking care of the hard work well in advance.
When it’s time for the Broncos to make their first selection in the first round since 2021, their draft board has been set, and every possible scenario for each round laid out.
WINNIPEG — Casey Mittelstadt is a pretty low-key guy, but he couldn’t contain his excitement.
Finally, in his seventh season as a full-time professional hockey player, it was time to find out what the Stanley Cup Playoffs were all about. And it would be hard to say that Mittelstadt did anything but pass his first postseason test with a strong effort.
“I think with the energy and the atmosphere overall, I don’t know if I’ve played in a game like that in my career to be honest,” Mittelstadt said.
