Hi:

American Airlines is taking doctors and nurses to Haiti for free. Please call 212-697-9767. Spread the word.
That was a hoax, read about it here http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/14/twitter.hoax.haiti/
We can all donate, every little bit helps. I hope that once the dust starts to settle, the powers that be will make it easier to volunteer. In the mean time, research people!

haven't read everyone's post so this may have been mentioned but have you tried contacting doctors without borders? http://doctorswithoutborders.org/work/field/?ref=main-menu
doctors without borders/médecins sans frontières (msf) recruits medical and non-medical personnel to provide aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters.

I don't know which is the worse bummer - that somebody would be so cruel to post such a hoax, or that ALL the airlines don't offer flights for nurses and other medical people. Geesh, what's wrong with people? I heard the statistic last night - 212,000 people have perished. It's unfathomable.
