"I was doing my residency in Jersey City Medical Center, and it's just across the river from the World Trade Center," Dr. Kassis says. "We were informed that we were going to receive some victims from the towers. So the ferry, which usually used to take tourists around, was just transporting victims for us to our hospital." Dr. Kassis says that all the staff of the hospital stayed for extra shifts in order to treat the several hundred victims they received, and that he himself did a little extra duty even after he was supposed to be home for the night. "Even after I went home, I came back around 11 p.m. I just wanted to check if there were any more [injured]." But by 10 p.m., there simply were no more survivors. "We were disappointed when we stopped getting more victims… we thought that we might be working the whole night helping the victims, and when the number started to go down and down we realized that were no more survivals probably."
