bridge incident

We’ve been woken up early in the morning by two men who work at the building of a bridge only a few miles from here. A slope of the mountain had collapsed on the site and people got injured but the falling rocks. When we got there we found a young Nepali completely naked among the injured workers (luckily nothing serious). He was like born from the earth, covered of dust. My first check up was unbelievable; all his vital functions were slowed down to a minimum. His heartbeat could hardly be heard. We first treated him right there: it would have been too dangerous to move him. It's only at night that we decided to bring him back to our little hospital.
