Global Medical Brigades spook students

The air was filled with haunted music and the voices of people yelling “I don’t want surgery!” Students ran out of a haunted house made with black tarps, white sheets with fake blood, and a yellow and black caution tape.

SMU Global Medical Brigades hosted the haunted house in the south quad Saturday night. The event is the organization’s fundraiser for medical supplies and transportation costs for the group’s trip to Panama. GMB will be providing medical and dental care to Panamanian villages in August with the help of physicians.

Kaitlin Ostling, fundraising chair for GMB, stood at the haunted house’s entrance wearing a lab coat. She informed students standing in line on what they would experience.

“I love scary movies,” said Ostling a sophomore biology major. “I said it would be cool to have a haunted hospital theme.”

The house had a clown, people eating bugs, and a guy doing surgery with a chainsaw. Also, there was a child asking visitors: “Are you my mommy?”

First-year Ginger Sprong went to the haunted house with friends. She wanted to support GMB because she liked the cause.

“It was so much fun. I’m not going to lie, it was pretty scary,” said Sprong an environmental science major. “The strobe lights really messed me up.”
