You will inform the district health authority. You will proceed the village with your staff, drugs including intravenous fluids and bleaching powder bags. You will take the help of the people to collect the patients to one place, usually the school. They are to be lifted, with the cot, from their house only. Your sanitary inspector will proceed to disinfect the water sources including the wells. You will put the patient on cholera cot (if available) and start intravenous Ringer's lactate solution to every patient with help of nursing staff. It is very easy to manage the cholera epidemic in isolated area. Once the vomiting stops, you can use the oral re-hydration solution to save on your intravenous fluids. You can not over load the patient with oral re-hydration fluid. That should be the most satisfying experience to manage the cholera epidemic, specially when you are doing your internship.
