Haitian may have survived 4 weeks in rubble
Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- A man pulled alive from the rubble of a building in Haiti's capital may have been trapped since the January 12 quake that leveled much of the city, doctors reported Monday.

The emaciated 28-year-old man was found in the wreckage of a market where he sold rice, his family told staff at a University of Miami field hospital. He suffered from extreme dehydration and malnutrition, but did not appear to have significant crushing injuries, CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported.

The man told doctors that someone was bringing him water while trapped, but doctors also said he sounded confused and appeared to believe he still was trapped under the rubble.
