Gulf Coast Lacks Physicians to Avert Looming Health Crisis
There are two distinct parts of the Gulf Coast health crisis, one compounding the other. The first part is obvious: People are getting sick – and their ranks are swelling into the tens of thousands. The second part is less obvious but perhaps more disturbing: Many of the sick cannot find local physicians who are both able and willing to treat them.
Practicing ear, nose and throat doctor Mike Robichaux is on the front lines of this crisis, treating scores of Gulf Coast residents with spill-related illnesses. Dr. Robichaux describes the situation unfolding in coastal communities across Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida as “the biggest public health crisis from a chemical poisoning in the history of this country. We are going to have thousands of people who are extremely sick…” That’s part one of our two-part crisis.
Here’s the other, according to Dr. Robichaux: “The medical community has shut this down. …They either don’t understand or are afraid to deal with it properly because they are afraid of the oil and gas industry.”
So we have people getting sick from the oil and dispersant, and they’re not being treated. That brings us to the tragic but latent third part of the crisis – that only occurs if we let it. According to Dr. Robichaux, “if the sick aren’t treated, a large number of them are going to die.”
He’s right, and it’s not an overstatement to say the situation becomes more desperate by the day. During the height of the spill last summer, Matt Simmons, petroleum expert and founder of the Ocean Energy Institute, warned that tens of millions of Gulf residents should be evacuated to avoid widespread death and illness. We are now feeling the fallout from his unheeded advice.
We urgently need physicians who are able to diagnose and treat these illnesses that are affecting so many up and down the Gulf Coast.
In an effort to help treating physicians and Gulf residents identify spill-related symptoms and illnesses, we are posting two important documents summarizing both “acute” and “long-term” adverse health effects associated with exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons. The documents contain links to peer-reviewed studies so be sure to click on those. Please share the material with your friends and family. It could save a life.
The first document covers acute adverse health effects, including:
Ocular
Respiratory
Dermal (skin)
Psychological
Neurological
General (e.g., fever, diarrhea)
The second document covers long-term adverse health effects, including:
Lower Respiratory (e.g., wheezing and breathlessness)
Mental Health
Biomarkers
Latent Conditions (e.g., skin and lung cancer)
Bioaccumulation
Big thanks to veteran toxicologist Dr. William Sawyer for putting this important material together.

We've all undertaken home improvements but these residents in flood-stricken Mississippi have had to embark on major construction projects just to protect their houses and livelihoods.
These homes in Vicksburg are all situated along the Yazoo River, a tributary of the overflowing Mississippi River, and their owners have surrounded themselves with tons of earth and sand.
With questions over whether the main levees that protect the area from floods would hold, these farmers took no chances and have so far saved their homes and crops from destruction.
