Doing Good Things

As a medic, sometimes I go out on missions with other units besides my own. I recently went out with a unit that had "adopted" a village near our camp. They took water samples from the wells, which I ook to Preventive Medicine to have analyzed. They also distributed water purification kits and showed the villagers how to use them.

The most fun part of the mission was delivering a wheelchair to a little boy who had a congenital problem with his knees and could not walk. It was fun to see his face light up as they pulled the chair out of the back of the trailer. The wheelchair was a little big for him, but it will work for now. They are working to find a smaller one.
