Chapter 9: The Difficulties of Frontline Doctors
"What's the good news?"
Guo Anan said with a smile: "If the lack of protective materials in Harmony Hospital is verified, our newspaper will definitely try to help solve it! Don't you see, as soon as yesterday's information was issued, there were many enthusiastic citizens who wanted to do what they could for the epidemic area. I believe that at this time, everyone will not give up on our Huhan, don't worry, this city will come alive sooner or later, even better than before!"
People who have experienced depression are more empathetic to other people's troubles, even if Huang Huan doesn't say it, Guo Anan also knows the sadness they are experiencing at the moment - fear of the virus, worry about loved ones, fear of death.
After crossing an intersection, Huang Huan stopped the car, "After the intersection in front of you, turn right to Harmony Hospital, now under special circumstances, ambulances near the hospital are frequent, and we can't drive the car to the neighborhood to pick up medical staff, so you can only let yourself walk over." ”
As he spoke, several ambulances roared into the hospital gates, and several more flashed their lights in all directions.
"Brother Huan, thank you, I'll just walk by myself when I go back. Guo Anan got out of the car, turned his head and said, "Also, the logistics matter, I have to worry about you more." ”
Huang Huan nodded solemnly, the volunteer team has begun to take shape, and their respective shifts are also on the right track, but many volunteers can only find a place to wait when they are not picking up people. It is really time-consuming and inefficient, so it is better to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of volunteers and make their efforts more effective.
As soon as Guo Anan crossed the intersection, he was stopped by several well-dressed guards.
"Stop, what are you doing here?" a tall guard walked to a meter away from Guo An'an with a temperature gun.
"Hello, I am a special correspondent of Lu Bao, and I came to interview the situation in the hospital. Guo Anan took out his press card wrapped in a transparent plastic bag.
"Have you made an appointment with the hospital manager in advance?"
Guo Anan shook his head: "The phone number of the hospital can't get through, please pass it on." ”
The tall guard stared at the press card for a while, and said with some hesitation: "I'll take your temperature first, but you haven't made an appointment, and the leader may not have time to be interviewed." ”
A slightly fat man wearing a protective suit came slowly from behind, and shouted impatiently: "What are you doing, no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter!"
The tall guard immediately turned around and said respectfully: "Director Liu, this reporter wants to interview the leaders of our hospital. ”
"Reporter, do you have any documents?"
Guo Anan spread out the press card in his hand and showed it to Director Liu.
"You take her temperature first, and I'll call the leader for instructions. I couldn't see the expression on Director Liu's face through the mask, but I could hear the coldness in his tone.
"I'm sorry, Director Liu usually talks like this, don't mind. The tall guard smiled and raised his hand to take Guo An'an's temperature.
"36.5°C, normal, do you have a cough or something?"
"Nope. ”
"Okay, you can wait a minute, now there are special circumstances, I can't ask you to go in and sit and wait. The tall guard spoke very softly, standing by and watching the people and cars around him vigilantly.
After a few minutes, Director Liu walked over.
"The leader is not in the hospital today, so he can't be interviewed. Also, Harmony Hospital is full of serious patients, and all the people who come here are infected with the new coronavirus, so don't go into it if you are a healthy person. ”
Guo Anan was a little disappointed, she had expected this result before she came, but she didn't ask for a result, so she was unwilling to go back like this.
"I knew that I would have come directly to make an unannounced visit. Guo Anan muttered in his heart, but he didn't move a step under his feet.
After Director Liu finished speaking, he didn't linger and walked to the entrance of the hospital again.
Guo Anan saw Director Liu walking away, his eyes rolled, and his gaze fell on the tall guard.
"This big brother, may I ask your surname?"
"Don't give your surname Zhang. Beautiful reporter, you better get out of here, it's really not safe here. "The tall guard's real name is Zhang Fugui, he has been a guard in Harmony Hospital for three years, and there are few reporters who have dealt with him, but he has seen a lot of reporters, and he knows the attitude of the hospital leaders towards reporters, so he has learned from each other, and his words are also very respectful. He was also worried that Guo An'an would be infected by the virus when he entered the hospital for an interview.
But Guo Anan doesn't want to leave, she plans to give full play to her expertise and chat with the "interviewee".
"Brother Zhang, have you been guarding here lately?"
"It used to be in the hospital, but in recent days, the investigation has been strict, and a post has also been set up at this intersection. ”
"I see that Director Liu was wearing protective clothing just now, why didn't you wear it?"
Zhang Fugui rubbed the disposable gloves on his hands: "Now the protective clothing is too scarce, I am relatively ventilated at the intersection, I can't come into contact with so many viruses, and it is a waste to wear it." ”
When Guo Anan heard this, the topic came without any effort, "I heard that most of the patients admitted to Harmony Hospital are severe and critical, are the protective clothing of doctors and nurses enough?"
"Hey, how can it be enough! Now it can't be purchased everywhere, the protective clothing of the doctors and nurses in our hospital is saved and saved, at first it was changed every four hours, and now considering the inventory, it has to be extended to six hours to change, everyone is afraid to drink water before entering the quarantine area, for fear of going to the toilet!" Zhang Fugui's cousin works in the hospital, and sometimes he can't help but complain after work, so he still has some understanding of the internal situation.
"If there is a shortage of protective clothing, those doctors and nurses are not all at risk of infection!"
"Not really, so the hospital sent me a set, and I didn't want to wear it, so I left it for my cousin. Zhang Fugui shook his head helplessly, "She is in the respiratory department, the most dangerous department." ”
"Stop, where are you going?" a car approached, interrupting the conversation. Zhang Fugui hurriedly stepped forward to stop the vehicle for routine inspection and registration.
Guo Anan originally wanted to continue chatting for a while, but this time there were more ambulances, and Zhang Fugui was obviously too busy to take care of her.
Pressing the voice recorder, Guo Anan opened the base map and navigated back to the hotel.
I didn't get an answer from the person in charge of the hospital, but I also learned that there was a real shortage of protective equipment in the hospital. Guo Anan combined the day's materials in his mind as he walked.
According to common sense, Guo Anan needs to know the inventory of hospital protective clothing, goggles, protective masks, etc., as well as the expected number of days of use, and speak through data to make the news more convincing, but now she only has the words of a hospital guard, she herself believes it, but it is not very credible in front of the public.
In the morning, Huang Huan's car came, more than 20 minutes by car, and it didn't feel so far away, but when he walked back, Guo Anan felt that his legs were about to break.
There are all kinds of private cars parked on the side of the road, and most of the cars returning from other places have long been out of parking spaces and have to be parked temporarily on the side of the road. At this time, there is no traffic police to post a note, and there is no worry about parking on the side of the road. I saw several subway stations along the way, and all of them pulled down the gates. The bus station has also been out of service for a long time. To prevent the spread of the virus, all public transport has long been suspended. The strangest thing is that the shared bicycles that were made so vigorously last year did not even meet a single one along the way.
Nowadays, all the inconveniences make people miss those public services that are so convenient that they are explosive.
After two hours, Guo Anan finally saw the familiar hotel. A series of disinfection before entering the hotel was done with a familiar car, and Guo Anan did a complete set of disinfection and cleaning work in the hotel, and the whole person just wanted to collapse on the bed.
But when I think of today's interview, I still try to get up and turn on the computer. Since suffering from depression, Guo An'an's thinking speed has been much slower than before, and her memory has also declined, most of the time in order not to miss every detail, even if she wants to be lazy, she will insist on getting the job done.
Halfway through the manuscript, Huang Huan suddenly called: "Girl, how was your interview today?"
"Brother Huan, I didn't succeed in the interview today, and I couldn't even get close to the hospital door. Guo An'an's words revealed a hint of loss.
"I guess that's going to be the case. The leader of their hospital accompanied the state leader on the inspection today, and I only heard it later, and I knew that I would be waiting for you on the side of the road for a while. By the way, if you want to know about the situation of their hospital protective clothing, can you find out directly from the doctor?"
Guo Anan was stunned for a moment, ignoring that the other party couldn't see it at all on the phone call, and nodded again and again: "Yes, they are the main body that uses protective clothing, and they must have a more intuitive understanding of these." ”
"Then I'll call you later, today my cousin Huang Yu went to pick up the medical staff of Harmony Hospital, and there happened to be a department director in his car. Huang Yu was very anxious when he heard him mention protective clothing, and it was probably the reason why he couldn't buy it everywhere. ”
Soon, Guo Anan received a phone number from Huang Huan, whose name was Liu Chang, who happened to be the director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine.
Guo Anan immediately dialed it.
"Hey, hello. The other party's voice was hoarse and very tired.
"Hey, Director Liu, hello, I'm Guo An'an, a reporter sent by Lu Daily to report on the epidemic, and I take the liberty to disturb you. ”
As soon as he heard that the other party was a reporter, Liu Chang couldn't help but feel excited, "Oh, reporter Guo, hello, I don't know what you want to interview?"
"That's right, I learned from our volunteers that the hospital is short of protective materials, and I want to know from you what the current state of the protective materials inventory in the hospital is, and if necessary, I want to alleviate the urgent needs of medical staff through the news media. ”
When Liu Chang heard this, he immediately said like a machine gun: "It's not just a nervousness, it's a serious shortage! As the front line of the anti-epidemic, our department may be contaminated by the patient's cough droplets if you are not careful, and now all the protective clothing in our department can only last a few more days at most, in order to save the protective clothing, the doctors in our department wear diapers directly inside, and they don't drink a sip of water for six consecutive hours!" Other departments such as the ICU are not much better than us, and if there are no new protective suits, our doctors and nurses will not be able to survive, and if they are infected by the virus, who will save those patients......"
Liu Chang picked up the key points of what happened in the ward, and Guo Anan was sad when he heard it, "Director Liu, you have said this, can I report it truthfully?"
