Doctors prepare to treat special patients

Li Rongrong from Beichuan, was surrounded by medical staff and media reporters as she alighted from an ambulance in Beijing last Wednesday. She had lost her right arm in the earthquake.

The 5-year-old girl clutched her mother tightly with her other arm as she was taken to an emergency ward for treatment.

Li looked nervous as doctors and nurses prepared her for a blood transfusion and X-rays. She was then moved to a general ward where she will spend the next few months recuperating.
