As time went on, more and more villagers received treatment. Some villagers with chronic illnesses showed long-lost smiles after receiving professional diagnoses and treatment plans. An uncle with high blood pressure, holding the medicine prescribed by a volunteer, excitedly told those around him, "These doctors are really amazing! I didn't know how to treat my illness before, but now I'm all better."
However, some difficulties were encountered during the treatment process. Some villagers did not understand the new treatment methods and medicines and had doubts. An elderly man looked at the medicine handed to him by a volunteer and asked doubtfully, "Will this medicine work? I've never seen this kind of medicine before." Lin Yue, who was nearby, heard this and quickly came over to explain, "Sir, these medicines have all undergone rigorous testing and will be beneficial to your condition. If you are not at ease, you can take them for a few days and see the effect. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell us." With Lin Yue and the medical volunteers' patient explanation, the elderly man finally accepted the treatment.
Besides providing medical care to the villagers, the medical volunteers also inspected the village's sanitation. They discovered that some parts of the village's drinking water source were unsanitary and could easily cause illness. Dr. Zhang Feng approached Lin Yue and said seriously, "Lin Yue, the village's drinking water problem needs attention; we need to find a way to improve it." Lin Yue frowned and nodded, "Dr. Zhang, you're right. We were aware of this problem before, but we haven't had a good solution." Zhang Feng thought for a moment and said, "We can first perform simple purification treatment on the water source, and then educate the villagers on some drinking water hygiene knowledge."
So, the medical volunteers and villagers worked together to clean and purify the drinking water source. They installed a simple filtration system at the source and explained to the villagers how to keep the water clean. One volunteer demonstrated the filtration system to the villagers: "Look, the water flows in here, and as it passes through these filtering materials, impurities are removed, making our drinking water cleaner." The villagers listened attentively, knowing that this concerned their own health and that of their families.
During the medical assistance process, the medical volunteers also discovered some common diseases in the village, which were related to the villagers' lifestyles and work methods. For example, many villagers were prone to back and shoulder injuries due to long hours of labor. To address this issue, the medical volunteers conducted specialized rehabilitation training courses for the villagers.
In an open space in the village, a volunteer was guiding villagers in lumbar rehabilitation exercises. "Everyone, follow me. First, slowly bend over, then turn to the left, then to the right. This movement can relieve lumbar fatigue." The villagers followed along attentively, and although some of their movements weren't perfect, they all tried their best. During the training, A-Qiang accidentally twisted his back due to excessive force. He frowned and cried out in pain. The volunteer quickly went over, checked him, and said with a smile, "A-Qiang, don't rush, move slowly. Here, let me help you adjust your posture." With the volunteer's help, A-Qiang continued his rehabilitation training, and his respect for these medical volunteers grew even stronger.
As the medical assistance work progressed, the relationship between the medical volunteers and the villagers grew increasingly harmonious. The villagers were filled with gratitude for these "angels in white" from afar, often bringing them homegrown vegetables and fruits. One elderly woman brought a basket of fresh vegetables to the medical station and said to Dr. Zhang Feng, "Doctor, you've worked so hard. These vegetables are from our own garden, they're so fresh, you must accept them." Zhang Feng smiled and declined, saying, "Grandma, we can't accept them, it's what we should do." But the old woman insisted, so Zhang Feng had no choice but to accept the vegetables, saying gratefully, "Then we won't be polite, thank you, Grandma."
In the evenings, after finishing their day's work, the medical volunteers would gather together to share their experiences and discuss the problems they encountered. They sat in their temporary dormitories, bathed in a warm, dim light. Zhang Feng looked at everyone and said earnestly, "Everyone has worked very hard today, but we still have a lot of work to do. We not only need to treat the villagers' illnesses, but also help them establish healthy lifestyles." Everyone nodded in agreement. Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Seeing the villagers' conditions improve with our help today makes me feel especially accomplished." The other volunteers also smiled with satisfaction.
In their follow-up medical assistance efforts, the medical volunteers plan to establish a small medical archive in the village, recording the health status and medical records of each villager. They hope that this archive will allow them to better track the villagers' health conditions and provide more accurate data support for subsequent medical work.
During the process of compiling medical records, volunteers needed to inquire about the villagers' medical and family medical histories in detail. This was not an easy task for some villagers, as some were unaware of their family medical history. Lin Yue and the volunteers went door-to-door asking questions. At one villager's home, Lin Yue patiently explained the importance of establishing medical records to an older man. "Uncle, this record is very important for you and your family. If you get sick in the future, doctors can diagnose and treat you more quickly and accurately." After listening to Lin Yue's explanation, the older man carefully recalled his family's medical history and told Lin Yue in detail.
During this process, the medical volunteers also discovered some hidden medical conditions. One young villager, who appeared to be in good health, was found to have congenital heart disease after a detailed medical history was taken and examinations were conducted. This surprised and worried everyone. The medical volunteers immediately developed a specialized treatment plan for him and contacted higher-level medical institutions to arrange further examinations and treatment.
