As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the entire village a golden hue. The free clinic was finally drawing to a close, but Jiang Yue and her team members didn't let up at all. They sorted through medical records, checked remaining medications, and prepared for tomorrow's work.
A man who looked like a village official came over and shook Jiang Yue's hand tightly. "Doctor Jiang, you've been a real help! Thank you on behalf of all the villagers." Jiang Yue smiled and replied, "This is what we should do. The health of the villagers is our greatest motivation."
Night fell, the stars twinkled. Jiang Yue lay on the hard bed in her makeshift dormitory, her body exhausted but her heart filled with fulfillment. That day, she had witnessed so much suffering and resilience, and felt both the smallness and the greatness of her own strength. She knew this was just the beginning; there were more mountainous areas and more patients waiting for her.
In the days that followed, Jiang Yue and her team members repeated the same busy yet fulfilling work day after day. They traveled across mountains and rivers, visiting villages and bringing hope to those suffering from illness. Every smile she saw after a patient's condition improved, every sincere expression of gratitude, was like a warm current that filled Jiang Yue's heart, further strengthening her resolve to continue her career in public welfare medicine.
As the free clinic progressed, some thorny issues gradually emerged. A young girl with congenital heart disease was in critical condition and needed immediate surgery at a hospital in a major city. However, the high cost of surgery was prohibitive for her family. Jiang Yue, distraught, contacted charities and individuals to raise funds for the girl's surgery. She also leveraged her connections to coordinate with specialists at a major city hospital, securing a special admissions channel for the girl. Through her tireless efforts, she finally raised the necessary funds, and the girl was successfully transported to the hospital and received timely treatment.
Another time, torrential rain washed away roads in the mountainous area, hindering the delivery of medical supplies. Jiang Yue led her team and worked alongside the villagers to repair the roads, braving the wind and rain. They carried supplies into the village bit by bit, shoulder to shoulder, and hand to hand. Rain soaked her face, mud stained her clothes, but she never flinched.
During this public welfare medical trip, Jiang Yue not only used her medical skills to save lives but also warmed everyone with her compassion. She witnessed the plight of medical care in mountainous areas, but also saw the brilliance of human nature. She knew her power was limited, but as long as she had love in her heart and kept moving forward, she would surely bring more changes to this region.
Days passed, and the time for departure finally arrived. As the van slowly drove away from the village, the villagers spontaneously stood by the roadside, waving goodbye. Children waved wildflowers, their eyes filled with reluctance. Jiang Yue gazed out the window, tears blurring her eyes. She vowed to herself to return and continue dedicating herself to this land and these lovely people.
After returning to the city, Jiang Yue didn't rest on her laurels. She compiled her observations from her public welfare medical trip into a book, calling on all sectors of society to pay attention to the medical issues facing remote mountainous areas. She also held public welfare lectures, sharing her experiences in the hope of encouraging more people to join the public welfare medical work. She also brought back to the hospital the difficult medical conditions she encountered in the mountains, working with her colleagues to research and overcome them.
This public welfare medical trip was like a spiritual baptism, making Jiang Yue more mature and determined. On her medical path, she not only pursues superb skills but also cherishes a compassionate heart. She strides forward into the future, writing her own glorious chapter with love and responsibility.
