Chapter 4 Outpatient Patients

In the evening, He Xiao made a video call uneasily, and carefully instructed him, hearing that Guo Anan still had the mind to joke, the anxiety in He Xiao's heart also faded a lot.

"It's New Year's Eve tonight! This is the first time you've been so far away from me for the New Year, and I'm really a little uncomfortable. Hurry up next year, we have to find a way to have a baby and get married, and the two families can spend the New Year together. According to her plan, Guo An'an has to give birth to a son, because He Xiao likes daughters, and the age difference between the two children cannot be too big, otherwise it is easy to get out of the modern ditch.

"Okay, okay, all listen to you. Guo Anan leaned on the head of the bed, thinking to himself why He Xiao only thinks about giving birth to a baby all day long, obviously she herself is a strong woman + workaholic, but she still wants to challenge the two-legged gold-swallowing beast again, "Xiaoxiao, you say every day to give birth to a baby quickly, you have to hurry up and make progress, what about the glasses man that Auntie introduced to you before, is there any progress now?"

"I'm angry at the mention of him, that guy...... Wow, my husband is so handsome!Hurry up, An An, on the Spring Festival Gala, William Chan is out!" He Xiao listened to her idol singing the New Year's disco with a face, and the whole person fell into a state of madness.

Guo Anan remembered that there is an annual Spring Festival Gala tonight, although it doesn't have much New Year's flavor, but at least it can be lively.

The two of them chatted while watching the Spring Festival Gala, you said a word to me, and before I knew it, it was eleven o'clock, in previous years, they would also make phone porridge and spend the New Year's Eve together, but tomorrow Guo Anan will have a visit, and he needs to recuperate.

"An An, you must take good precautions when you go out, and when you come back, I will personally cook a table of good dishes for you. ”

"Are you cooking? See, I'm shivering. Guo Anan knows He Xiao's cooking skills, and often the dishes he makes don't even eat the family's dog......

"Well, if you don't eat it, I'll have to go to bed early, or you'll have to stay in bed tomorrow." I wish you a happy new year one hour in advance, the new year has you and I have happiness, rats we are the luckiest, this blessing is valid for one year and one hour, effective immediately!"

"Thank you, smile, and I wish you a happy new year, it's good to have you. After Guo Anan and He Xiao exchanged goodnight, they hung up the video.

On this Chinese New Year's Eve without members, Guo Anan actually had a feeling of "long-distance relationship".

She feels that she is extremely lucky to have such a close friend and a pair of parents who love her.

Guo Anan touched his face, as if it was really easy to be happy, after all, the new year should always be a little new.

The next day

"Saturday, January 25, the second day of coming to the epidemic area. The weather forecast says there will be light snow, and the snow here is completely different from the snow in the north. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, together with the medical staff who came to help Han, I went to the hospital for the first time. I never imagined that there would be so many people in the corridors of the hospital......"

Excerpt from: "War Epidemic Diary" Author: Guo An'an

Before the phone rang, Guo Anan woke up and waited to press the alarm.

The curtains were drawn in the room, and there was no light in it, and it was dark and cold all around. Guo Anan grabbed the mobile phone into the quilt and warmed it, and waited for a long time, but the alarm still didn't go off.

Guo Anan pressed the screen and looked at the time a little sluggishly, it was just past five o'clock. After tossing and turning on the bed for a while, Guo An sat up in annoyance and leaned against the head of the bed. I was so happy last night, but now that feeling of being shrouded in darkness has returned?

Guo Anan closed his eyes, as if the happiness and energy of yesterday had disappeared with sleep. After a long time, the alarm finally went off.

After a long while, the sound of a boxed lunch was heard outside the door again.

Guo Anan got up, changed his clothes, and brought in the boxed lunch. The group reminded that there are still 30 minutes to go downstairs to gather.

In order to give himself enough physical strength, Guo Anan stuffed breakfast into his stomach and swallowed a few more antidepressants. Today, she will follow the doctor to the Gold, Silver and Bronze Hospital to learn about the specific situation in Huhan Hospital today.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of protective materials in the hospital, and every medical staff carries a set of protective equipment on their backs, and Guo Anan is no exception. On the way to the Gold, Silver and Bronze Hospital, there was hardly any sound, and everyone was more or less nervous, only Guo Anan got up halfway and took a few dark and solemn photos of the medical staff.

Although the doctors who came to help Han had received a certain amount of training before coming, it was obvious that a lot of knowledge was not enough when dealing with patients in real life. Therefore, most of the new medical staff need to learn the workflow from experienced doctors and understand the diagnosis and treatment methods in the isolation ward as soon as possible.

Because of the need to instruct new doctors, and the high concentration of the virus in the quarantine area, which is a high risk factor for people without any medical experience, the medical team politely rejected Guo An'an's request to enter the isolation ward. Guo Anan walked out of the quarantine area and walked to the outpatient clinic.

In Lu Province, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, people will try to avoid taking medicine and going to the hospital, just to get a good fortune, so as not to be inseparable from the medicine jar all year round.

The plague has apparently disrupted people's New Year's celebrations.

Walking to the outpatient clinic, Guo Anan was already mentally prepared, but he was still shocked by the crowd at the scene.

I saw that the hall was full of people, there was a long queue in front of the self-service registration machine, and manual registration was also difficult to find. Occasionally, a few girls in nurses' uniforms trotted by, and in the corridor, some were lying on stretchers and breathing rapidly, and some were crying and begging the doctor to give them a bed to come out.

Guo Anan was wearing a mask, goggles, and medical cap, and was stopped by a little girl with tears on her face mistaken for a doctor, and asked her to help her grandmother take a look. Guo Anan saw the old lady behind the little girl, obviously dying.

"I'm sorry, little sister, I'm not a doctor, so I can't help you. Guo Anan pointed to the camera behind him, and the little girl's shining eyes that were full of hope instantly lost their light.

Guo Anan didn't plan to reach out to help, but when she saw those eyes, she suddenly remembered that she had been deprived of her light because of helplessness.

"Little sister, let me help you ask for help from the Internet, with the help of netizens, maybe I can help your grandma find a bed. Guo Anan recorded the information of the little girl and her grandmother one by one and stored them in a voice recorder.

Coming out of the outpatient clinic, Guo Anan endured the moisture in her eyes, and in order to ensure the clarity of the goggles, she couldn't cry.

Before setting foot in Huhan, Guo An'an's understanding of the epidemic was only through the cold and ever-growing numbers and the few words in the news, and when faced with a living patient, the impact was difficult for ordinary people to bear.

The 16-year-old girl, Ke Xin, whose parents work in a vegetable market, was diagnosed with COVID-19 a few days ago and was admitted to the hospital. She was the only one left in the family to take care of her elderly grandmother, but on the third day after her parents were hospitalized, her grandmother suddenly had a fever and cough. Ke Xin called the emergency number, but the ambulance was too busy to get in line. In desperation, Ke Xin borrowed a tricycle and took her grandmother to the hospital, but who knew that the hospital was already full of people......

Guo An'an's eyes appeared in front of Ke Xin's desperate eyes.

In this city, I don't know how many people are still struggling in despair, and I don't know how many people are still silently confined at home with no way to seek medical treatment, hoping to heal themselves......

The patients in the hospital are the same, and the survival in the market is different. Most ordinary people may have spent all their energy just to survive.

No wonder Huang Qingquan asked Guo Anan to interview the lives of ordinary people.

Guo Anan sent a message in the group and walked to the hotel on foot. She was worried that staying in the outpatient clinic for too long and that her clothes would be contaminated with the virus, which would threaten the safety of the doctors, so she simply stopped taking the shuttle, but walked slowly for half an hour.

In Guo An'an's impression, Huhan is a bustling and lively city, with a large number of tourists coming to enjoy the cherry blossoms every spring, and countless foodies coming to visit in the name of hot dry noodles.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it should be a festive day for the big guys to visit the New Year. But nowadays, walking on the streets, there are hardly any people, and the whole street and the whole city seem to be asleep. This lonely feeling gave Guo Anan the illusion of "thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of paths and people disappear".

Guo Anan walked all the way, filmed all the way, and unconsciously arrived at the door of the hotel.

In order to ensure the safety of medical staff, two guards were specially left at the door, responsible for measuring body temperature and disinfection, Guo Anan carefully climbed the stairs to his door after disinfecting his body, for fear that if he was not careful, the residual virus would be stained on the escalator. Although she knew that the virus would not survive far from its host for too long, she could be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Nowadays, medical staff are like giant pandas to Huhan, and Guo Anan never wants to be a sinner for the ages.

Guo Anan put his coat and shoes outside the door, and after entering the room, he immediately soaked his clothes in disinfectant, carefully washed his hands, and then carefully took off his goggles and soaked them in disinfectant. After cleaning up this and coming out of the shower, Guo Anan immediately took out his computer and began to code today's interview script.

There are two articles in total, one is Ke Xin's help-seeking information, and the other objectively describes the current situation in Wuhan in the form of pictures and texts.

The editorial department of the vlog submitted yesterday did not give any feedback, but the information about the epidemic on the newspaper's website has been updated.

This made Guo Anan a little depressed, so the video made with his heart was so lost, I think there are still people who are not satisfied with the quality of the manuscript.

After experiencing the first two months of workplace training, Guo Anan has a new understanding of the editing industry - just say the manuscript is fine, and if it doesn't work, it can't do it, and if it can't be done, it can't be done.

"Since I want to press the draft, let's press it, anyway, I will do my job well and have a clear conscience. Guo Anan uploaded the two interview scripts and photos to the system and submitted them for review.

Taking advantage of the nothing, Guo Anan cleaned the sterilized coat and goggles and hung them by the window.

Although the central air conditioning cannot be turned on, the hotel supplies hot water 24 hours a day, so it will not be difficult to warm up in a hot shower in a particularly cold situation.

Just as Guo Anan was circling around the room to warm his feet, another message was received in the group.
