slang Say, thirty. I am 29 years old this year. Before joining the Chongqing Medical Assistance Team in Hubei, my career has been stable and safe. So when the hospital announced on January 24 that I could sign up for the medical aid team in Hubei, I signed up without thinking. The reason is very simple. People should realize their professional ideals, even if they are dangerous. The decision of
is my own and I did not discuss it with my family. When he told his parents, they met with unanimous opposition; when he told his husband, he was shocked, and after hesitating for a while, he said that he did not expect a hero to appear next to him. When this term is used on me, I think it may be a misnomer, and I am also worried. Unlike those medical staff who have experience fighting SARS and Ebola, they are also worried that they might not be able to do their job well or even be selected.
January 26 is an unforgettable day for me. On the one hand, after being selected by the Municipal Health Commission, I was fortunate to become a volunteer of the medical aid team in Hubei; on the other hand, this day is also my 29th birthday. In previous years, my husband would accompany me back to my hometown in Wanzhou to spend it, but this year he has prepared the food, but I can’t spend it with him. Only to comfort him: "You eat more, don't think I want to lose weight..."
On January 27, after coming to Xiaogan City, we went through several days of training and examinations until January 31 , We can officially take up jobs at the First People's Hospital of Xiaogan City. Now, our residence has also moved from the hotel to the hospital, officially becoming a fighter against the new coronavirus.
To be honest, I am still a little scared inside, I am afraid of being infected, I am afraid of not doing my job well. In the afternoon, when I called my husband to express my inner thoughts, he comforted me: "No one is a born hero, you have to be strong and let me welcome a true hero to return in triumph."
these days, I have to arrive at the isolation ward every morning at 6:30 am. My main job is to dispense medicines for 41 confirmed patients. This does not allow for one medicine error, so I have to check each medicine three times before distributing it.
Next, there will be rotations between our colleagues. Instead, I will directly contact the patients. I hope that when I meet with the patients, their condition will improve. So now, every pair of medicines I prepare, every medicine carries my blessings for a speedy recovery...
