A Takaev woman sent to work at 6 January hospital in
Phnom Penh in late 1978 recalled it as full off handicapped
combatants, screaming for medicine and to have their dressings
changed. After observing for five or five days how compresses were
applied to wounds, and assisting in their application, she began
doing that, although the whole scene terrified her and for a while
she was unable to eat. She also gave injections. The combatants
sometimes cursed, hit and kicked the medics, complaining when in
great pain that they did not understand were mere kids were assigned
to treat them. She remembered no instances of disciplining of
medics. The cadre simply exhorted the medics to work hard to take
good care of the patients.
