LOMA LINDA - Friends and family members were grateful for the safe return of specialist Andrew Haglund and Dr. Scott Nelson after both men experienced Nepal's most recent major earthquake.

The two had flown to Scheer Memorial Hospital in Nepal with an orthopedic surgery team from the Loma Linda University Medical Center to provide relief after the first recent quake struck the country on April 25.

"I think the biggest struggle Nepal is facing is food and shelter. The post traumatic stress of not going to sleep at night, not knowing if the roof is going to come down on you," Haglund said.

He said another major challenge the victims faced was communication and finding out if people were OK after a quake hit.

The team's resources were put to the test when the most recent earthquake struck the country while they were there last week. (KABC)
