Moses Li, an emergency nurse at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, is used to dealing with challenging medical situations but little could have prepared him for what he saw on a recent trip to help Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. "It was a well-run hospital but it was very busy, often over capacity," he told CBC host of The Early Edition Rick Cluff. More than half the patients were children and many of them had never received medical care in a hospital before, Li said. Li went on the volunteer trip with Samaritan's Purse, a Christian international relief organization, and said his faith was one of the motivating reasons behind his desire to help. He returned to Vancouver last month and is now back to working 12-hour shifts at St. Paul's Hospital.
