STORYLINE:

SOUNDBITE (Chinese): HUANG SONG, General Hospital of the PLA Xizang Military Area Command
"At about 11 a.m. on Thursday, we received a report from our medical team that a 26-year-old patient, hit by falling bricks during aftershocks, suffered a great loss of vision. Our hospital immediately arranged for experts to conduct remote consultations, and found that the patient risked having his eyeball removed, and an emergency transfer by helicopter was urgently needed. So our hospital arranged for relevant experts to stand by. At the same time, we simultaneously readied our heliport for a take-off, completed procedures to facilitate the quick admission of the patient, and ensured that the patient received hospital treatment without any delay. This is the fourth patient we received from the quake-hit area."
