Faltering and racing against time, terminally ill and covid-19 - Zhang Dingyu

There are always some people in this world who deserve to be remembered and worth learning. Standing up in the midst of danger, selflessly dedicating, sacrificing life and forgetting death, still sticking to the front line of the fight against the epidemic in the face of terminal illness, and writing loyalty to the party and the people with practical actions. I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The time goes back to 7 p.m. on December 27, 2019, and as usual, Zhang Dingyu is still working in the office. The mobile phone rang, and an expert from Tongji Hospital in the city said in an urgent tone: "There is a patient with pneumonia of unknown cause, the lungs are ground glass, suspected of a new type of infectious disease." A third-party genetic testing company has detected coronavirus RNA in case samples. A few hours later, preliminary genetic comparison results suggested: This is a SARS-like coronavirus. On the afternoon of December 29, 2019, 7 patients with strange fever appeared in Hubei Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, describing a similar condition to that patient in Tongji Hospital. Zhang Dingyu immediately arranged for Vice President Huang Chaolin to personally lead the team to the consultation, and instructed that we must do a good job in secondary protection, dispatch a special negative pressure ambulance, and repeatedly stressed: each patient is picked up and dropped off individually, one person and one car, until about 12 o'clock in the evening, only carefully connect the patients to the intensive care ward on the 7th floor of jinyintan Hospital. Four days later, Jinyintan Hospital officially opened a special ward. With many years of professional experience, Zhang Dingyu feels that this disease is not simple. While instructing the medical staff to strengthen protection, he led everyone to take the lead in collecting the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of these 7 patients and quickly sent it to the Wuhan Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for testing. This not only provides a pathogenic direction for China's fight against the epidemic, but also buys time for clinical treatment and vaccine research. In this battle against the new coronavirus, Zhang Dingyu admitted that the biggest challenge is the contradiction between the surge in the number of patients and the shortage of medical resources. "Around the Spring Festival, the number of patients soared, and almost every two days a new ward was opened. This ward is going to be full, and the other ward is going to be cleaned and disinfected, the workload is very large, and everyone is tightening their strings. Behind Zhang Dingyu, from one ward, to a building, to three buildings; nurses changed shifts from 2 hours to 4 or 5 hours; and they were even more eager to break a doctor into two people. For more than a month in the beginning, getting up at 6 a.m. and going to bed at 1 a.m. the next day was the norm for Zhang Dingyu. For several nights, he had just laid down at 2 a.m. and was woken up by his cell phone at 4 a.m. But he still felt that there was not enough time. Zhang Dingyu said: "I must run faster to win time and take back more patients from the hands of the virus."

As the storm center of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan, looking back on the "epidemic" of more than three months (referring to January to March 2020), Zhang Dingyu is quite calm, "Jinyintan is an infectious disease hospital, and our work experience makes us have strong professional vigilance. The epidemic is indeed a big test, but the kung fu is in the ordinary. "It is precisely with these usual trainings that we have the results of not being in danger during the epidemic and saving lives and helping the injured." Touching The China 2020 People of the Year Organizing Committee Comments: Faltering and racing against time, only want to win one more second for patients; terminally ill and new crown around, can't care about relatives have fallen. In this battle, you stand between the grim reaper and the sick; that night, the song floated over the city, and we built a new great wall with flesh and blood. Let us sincerely say that you have worked hard all your life! We must remember the heroes, learn from their excellent deeds, and thus walk our own path!
