Actions speak louder than words for medics in the disaster zone.

Hu Yongqi in Yushu reports

Walking through the aisles of the large medical station in Yushu county, 14-year-old Urgyen stopped beside the bed of one male patient and asked: "What seems to be the trouble?"

The ethnic Tibetan boy, who was wearing a dirty brown jacket, listened patiently to the man for a few seconds then turned to the tall Han doctor next to him and announced: "His back hurts."
