touching stories of nurses and doctors helping patients in SARS

Ye Xin fought against SARS, and the story of head nurse Ye Xin

On the battlefield against SARS, the vast number of medical workers held high the banner of Bethune spirit, were selfless and fearless, and charged ahead, writing a magnificent chapter of saving lives with their lives.

Ye Xin, the head nurse of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, passed away forever when the magnolia bloomed. She died in the battle against atypical pneumonia. Before her death, she left an unforgettable sentence: it's dangerous here, let me do it.

It is the lofty spiritual realm of countless medical workers to leave risks to themselves and safety to patients. It is with the tenacious struggle of a large number of soldiers in white that the spread of atypical pneumonia can be contained. The people can enjoy a quiet life.

-Review of People's Daily on April 18th: "People's health is more important than Mount Tai"

"Any great doctor who treats a disease must have no desire, and he vows to save the suffering with spirit. Don't look ahead and look back, worry about good or bad, and protect your life. Day and night, cold and heat, hunger and thirst, fatigue, and dedication to save. "

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, put this book "Great Doctor Sincerity" at the top of the masterpiece of Chinese medicine "Prepare for a Emergency and Save a Thousand Daughters", and advocated that doctors must carry forward the humanitarian spirit of saving lives and healing the wounded, and be "proficient" in professionalism and "sincere" in morality, so as to be a "great doctor" with both ability and political integrity.

This book "Great Doctor Sincerity" is the first lesson that Ye Xin, the head nurse of the Emergency Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, took in the "Health Training Team" of the hospital in 1974.

She has been a head nurse in the emergency department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for 23 years. Whether she is on-site first-aid for dying migrant workers who jumped off a building, or taking the lead in nursing AIDS addicts, or risking her life to save patients with atypical pneumonia, Ye Xin has never "looked ahead and looked back, worrying about good or bad". She wrote "Sincerity" of China's great doctors with her own life. In the early morning of March 24, 23, Ye Xin, who was unfortunately infected by rescuing SARS patients, died at the age of 46.

Over the past few days, the reporter visited Ye Xin's family, friends, colleagues, patients and attending doctors (who were responsible for the rescue work before her death) to pursue the immortal spirit of angels in white.

Send medicine and soup to everyone every day

Be sure to personally supervise everyone to take preventive drugs with boiling water, even the cleaners are no exception

Since February, Ersha Branch of Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been receiving SARS cases one after another. As a result, the first-line medical staff had been infected and fell ill in Dade Road General Hospital before, the nurse in Ye Xin was especially careful.

Every morning, she goes back to the department half an hour early to prepare preventive drugs for everyone and distribute them to every doctor, nurse and nursing worker, even the cleaner. Some preventive drugs have strong side effects, so Ye Xin must personally supervise everyone to take them with boiled water.

Before entering the ward, Ye Xin repeatedly emphasized various preventive measures: changing work clothes, shoes and socks; Wear a mask, hat and eye mask; Isolation gown should be replaced before entering the isolation ward; Wash your hands and rinse your mouth when you leave the isolation ward.

On the day of fighting against atypical pneumonia, she slept only a few hours every day, but she still didn't forget to cook a pot of old fire soup before going to bed, sometimes American ginseng and sometimes Cordyceps sinensis. She would take it back to the hospital the next day to drink it for her colleagues to improve her resistance.

Always keep the danger to herself

In the face of critical infectious patients, she took the lead, and sometimes even closed the door to rescue them, so as not to let too many people intervene

No one can be sure when and when Mrs. Ye was infected with atypical pneumonia. Every time a suspected or confirmed patient is sent to Corey, she and the director of the emergency department take the lead and undertake heavy medical care work, sometimes even closing the door to rescue, so as not to let too many colleagues intervene.

"I have taken this patient's temperature, listened to his lungs and sucked sputum, so please don't go in and try to reduce the chance of infection." In the days of facing SARS, these words made many young nurses cry.

"Ye Huchang may have been infected on February 24th."
