Public Network Poster News Binzhou, February 20 (Reporter Ji Xuemin) On the morning of February 13, the fifth batch of medical team members from Binzhou City who rushed to Hubei were assembled and marched to Hubei, and Cui Honghong, a nurse in the Respiratory Medicine Department of Binzhou People's Hospital, was one of them. The front-line work is heavy, and Cui Honghong uses her free time to write down her work status and feelings in a diary, and uses the most positive state to deal with the most dangerous work. Here's what she kept from her first hospital room.
Today is February 18th, 2020, Tuesday, the weather is sunny
In the morning, the warm sunlight that opens the curtains shines through the window on the body. Looking at the rising sun, I silently prayed that the epidemic would soon end and that this heroic city would soon come back to life.
Yesterday, in the evening shift, we packed up our things and went to the hospital, and when we arrived at the hospital, we put on our protective clothing with the help of the teacher. Make sure everything is within a safe range and follow the two teachers who are on the night shift into the ward.
This is the first time I have entered the ward. To be honest, there is no nervousness or fear, but more expectation. Because I want to see it. What is the state of the patients here, do they have too much anxiety, do they have emotional fluctuations, and I am eager to know what the whole process of going to the night shift is like?
After Teacher Jiang and I went in, we followed a teacher to conduct a simple understanding and study. The teachers told us about the work that needed to be done on the night shift. During this time the phone rang in and said that a new patient needed to come in for a while. We have prepared thermometers and sphygmomanometers, blood glucose meters, ready for patients to enter the ward.
It took about 30 minutes. The patient came to the ward through the patient passage. Without giving it much thought, I followed the teacher into a ward. Measure blood pressure to patients, measure blood sugar. I don't think there's anything special about it, except that we brought a thick layer of masks.
Wearing thick protective clothing and goggles, the teacher in Hubei told the patients that we were from Shandong and had come to support them. The patients greeted us warmly and we responded to each other, and I told them I didn't understand their local language. Tell them to talk as slowly as possible, and I speak Mandarin with them too. Ask them to take care of them.
Some patients thanked us and he said thank you for coming thousands of miles to help them. I don't think I'm doing anything because I feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. They said this to me and I didn't feel very embarrassed. The whole night shift took us about 20 minutes from putting on protective clothing. Before I entered the ward, I was already sweating, and even though the goggles had been treated before, there was still a layer of fog.
Entered the ward to familiarize yourself with the process, and then monitored your temperature at six o'clock. Hourly patients are inspected, and there are two patients with ECG monitoring, and the ECG monitoring is recorded on a dedicated mobile phone. Patients are given evening meals and blood glucose measured two hours after meals.
Follow the teacher to complete the first treatment of the new patient number. In fact, I think most of this is our normal work in the ward. And here it gets so hard. We have to be very careful with every step we take. Because we became bulky because of this protective suit. But the patients are very understanding, because most of the patients are here alone. He told us not to rush and take your time, they understood very well. In fact, I would like to say thank you for your understanding, you can think of us in times of illness and pain, thank you.
The night shift treatment was short and we had time to sit down and take a break. But I think when we sit down, the fog in the goggles will be more severe. And slowly we will have a feeling of lack of oxygen and suffocation. On the contrary, I don't feel it when I get busy. The two Hubei teachers we worked together told us about their experiences when they first came, the panic, the fear, everything stemmed from the unknown of the disease, but they still overcame all kinds of difficulties. Persevered.
I really admire that they were able to persist until now. At the end of the workday, the two of us took off our protective clothing one after another, and we were very careful at each step, and carefully washed our hands in a standard and standardized manner before each step. The whole process is uncomfortable with the soreness of the arm. But it did not make me lazy, and omitted every step. Because I know the consequences of omitting and not standardizing.
When I took off my thick protective suit, I felt like I was born again. For the first time, I felt so happy to be able to breathe freely. Back at the hotel, I saw the message sent by the director and friends and relatives, and my heart was warm, and all the pain and tiredness were worth it. The battle is still going on, I believe that everyone will be able to overcome the disease, we will return home safely!
