Chapter 12: Busy

Inscription: Favorite East Mountain, after the snow is clear, the soft red light is full of silver mountains

Zhang Dawei has been most concerned about the new crown pneumonia epidemic in recent days. He carefully combed through the medical briefings of the last ten days or so. He instructed his secretary Liu Xingfa to sort out information about the epidemic at the central and foreign levels so that he could analyze and compare them more comprehensively.

Liu Xingfa is shrewd and capable, and he quickly sorted out the macro situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in recent times according to the timeline. On December 31, 2019, the medical news reported that there were 27 cases of viral pneumonia, and there was no obvious human-to-human transmission. On January 1, 2020, the Shuangqiao Farmers' Market was temporarily closed, and Ping An Media said that several rumor-mongers who spread a similar SARS virus in Jiangcheng were punished, including Zhu Yi's colleague Gan Zitong. On January 2, 2020, the urban management dispatched a large number of cleaners to disinfect and clean the Shuangqiao Farmers' Market. On the same day, **** held a meeting to review measures against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. On January 3, the medical report reported that 44 cases of viral pneumonia of unknown cause were found, and there was no obvious human-to-human transmission and no infection among medical staff. On the same day, a number of patients with abnormal CT scans appeared in Fumin Hospital and other hospitals, and China began to notify the United States and the WHO of the epidemic, at the same time that Singapore required travelers from Jiangcheng to undergo temperature checks. On January 4, there was no medical information report, and on the same day, ** launched a "severe" level response. On January 5, the medical news reported that there were 59 cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Jiangcheng, and still said that there was no obvious human-to-human transmission and infection of medical staff, and on the same day, emergency doctors in several hospitals had abnormal CT scans. On January 6, the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention launched a second-level response, and the two sessions of the city opened, and there was no medical news report. On the same day, Fumin Hospital admitted patients with severe pneumonia, immediately convened an expert meeting, Zhuyi proposed to build a temporary isolation ward, and quickly renovated the ICU ward, Fumin Hospital reported the epidemic situation to the relevant departments, at the same time, Zhuyi outpatient fever patients increased sharply, some people queued up at three o'clock in the morning, the outpatient department was crowded, Fumin Hospital issued a notice not to spread rumors and not to believe rumors, Gan Zitong doctor was interviewed again, at the same time, the city found that a number of medical staff were infected and confirmed. On January 7, there was no medical report. On January 8, the National Health Commission confirmed that the new crown virus was the source of the epidemic, and there was no medical report, and the two sessions of the city were held. At the same time, the unknown pneumonia in Jiangcheng will be included in the statutory supervision of infectious diseases. On January 10, there was no medical news report, and the two sessions of the city continued to be held. On the same day, there were several deaths from the new crown pneumonia in Fumin Hospital. On January 10, the Spring Festival began, and there was no medical report. On the same day, Fumin Hospital was full of respiratory inpatients and dozens of CT abnormalities, and the ICU ward was no longer enough, making it extremely difficult. Gan Zitong, who was reprimanded and punished by the public security organs, was infected, and CT scans showed that both lungs were hairy and glazed lesions. Fumin Hospital strictly requires medical staff to protect themselves. On January 11, the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention provided PCX testing agents to Jiangcheng, and the provincial two sessions opened, and the medical news reported that 41 cases of new crown pneumonia were confirmed, and claimed that after January 13, there were no new infected patients, and no obvious human-to-human transmission and medical staff were infected. On January 13, that is, today, Zhang Dawei looked at the desk calendar on the table and asked the secretary Liu Xingfa: "Is there a medical report today?" ”

Liu Xingfa handed over the medical briefing he had just received to Zhang Dawei, and Zhang Dawei hurriedly read the epidemic report. The medical bulletin claimed that there were no new confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia, but at the same time, several new confirmed cases were found across the country. On the same day, several hospitals, including Fumin Hospital, were again infected with medical staff.

Zhang Dawei put down the pen, stood up, and said to Liu Xingfa: "According to my visit and research, the two weeks of medical news reports, combined with the actual situation of Fumin Hospital and the letters and visits of the people, I can conclude that the medical news report is nonsense!" He was angry and anxious, his eyes glowed with fire, and his face turned pale.

Zhang Dawei dialed Zhu Yi's phone and asked, "Zhu Yi, how many unknown pneumonia patients have been diagnosed in Fumin Hospital?" ”

Zhu Yi said: "Our hospital has added a respiratory medicine department and increased the number of beds for pneumonia patients, and there are more than 100 wards in charge of me alone, and there are hundreds of people in the whole hospital. ”

Zhang Dawei asked again: "Are there any new unknown pneumonia patients in recent days?" ”

Zhu Yi said: "Every day, there are dozens of new cases of new crown pneumonia found here every day. ”

Zhang Dawei asked: "What should Fumin Hospital do now?" ”

Zhu Yi said embarrassedly: "We don't have a good way at present, we can only let patients wait for beds at home, and some patients are at home, and mild cases have become serious diseases, and severe cases have become dead diseases." Many patients call the emergency number of the hospital, but they dare not answer the 120 call. ”

Zhang Dawei asked: "Why don't you dare to answer the 120 emergency number?" ”

Zhu Yi said: "If you pick it up, you have to send an ambulance, if the hospital has no beds, the ambulance doesn't dare to move, what if it is towed?" I can't help it! I really can't help it. ”

Zhang Dawei slowly put down the phone, he finally understood that there had been no medical report for many days, to a certain extent, it was concealment of the situation or inaction, dereliction of duty, and crime! And our administrative system is still the boss, doing everything step by step, rejoicing in the success, sitting and talking, holding high, ignoring reality, not to mention the imminent new crown pneumonia is spreading! He decided to go to Fumin Hospital again to have a look. Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Located on the bank of the Yangtze River, Fumin Hospital is a provincial key hospital and is also ranked among the top 100 hospitals in China. At the entrance of the hospital gate, there is still a long queue, the hospital is full of people, especially the outpatient hall, which is crowded, this is not normal, the hospital should not have so many people, he asked the staff on duty in the hospital hall, and the staff on duty told Zhang Dawei that there are so many people every day. He came to the inpatient department again and found Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi took him to look at the inpatient building from the first floor to the sixteenth floor, and finally came to the intensive care ward of the Department of Respiratory Medicine.

Zhu Yi said: "No protective clothing or face shield is allowed to enter!" ”

Zhang Dawei asked: "Is there a monitoring screen in the ward?" ”

Zhu Yi took him to the intensive care unit, where dozens of video screens showed the condition of patients in the 60 beds in the critical care ward. Most of them are on oxygen therapy, there are a few very critical patients on non-invasive breathing and invasive paging therapy, and nurses are looking back and forth in the intensive care area, constantly recording the numbers on the meter. Zhu Yi pointed to one of the patients and said, "He is Gan Zitong, my colleague, who is only in his early 40s, quite a good person." He was reprimanded by the relevant authorities, saying that he spread rumors and caused trouble, which was really infuriating. ”

Zhang Dawei asked: "Why are you angry?" ”

Zhu Yi said: "Actually, he is not a rumor, Dr. Gan Zitong just posted a note in the circle of relatives and friends, reminding everyone that if a similar SARS virus is found, let relatives and friends pay attention to precautions and be more careful." ”

Zhang Dawei was silent, thinking in his heart: Now there are some things that should be paid attention to but not paid attention to, and those who should not be entangled are nervous, what is the reason behind this? Is it the vanity and arbitrariness of some rulers, or is it the arbitrary behavior of some people who use their power to do whatever they want and commit adultery with public opinion? There seems to be too much over-excesses and overkills in our system!

Zhu Yi said: "With all due respect, some authorities or some officials, in the face of the new crown epidemic, ignore the facts, but they are nervous about normal things, and if they are too allergic, they will become a blind toss!" Zhu Yi handed Zhang Dawei a copy of the document, which was a signed punishment letter with his fingerprint and the seal of the public security police station. In this reprimand and punishment letter, Gan Zitong admitted that he was spreading rumors and said that he would repent in the future.

Zhang Dawei took the material and read it several times, his thick eyebrows were tightly locked, and his expression was serious.

Zhu Yi said: "Gan Zitong learned that he was infected with the new crown pneumonia and his condition was very serious, and he handed me this admonition before entering the intensive care unit. With tears in his eyes, he said to me: "I wish the director, I didn't spread rumors, I was wronged!" Zhu Yi was also deeply affected at that time, he felt that such a good doctor and good colleague in the prime of life, carrying a heavy ideological burden, bearing huge psychological pressure, facing a huge blow to social public opinion, holding the illness in the front line to rescue patients, but he had nowhere to appeal, and his heart was wronged to the extreme. Zhu Yi and Gan Zi are colleagues who have been together for many years, and know that Gan Zitong is a sincere doctor, a very ordinary doctor who does not have any non-trivial thoughts, a doctor who has been on duty in the hospital for five consecutive Spring Festivals and let colleagues reunite with their families, especially when the Spring Festival of Gengzi is coming, when the hospital arranges the doctor on duty, he takes the initiative to sign up for duty, he has no earth-shattering deeds, he is an ordinary person who is kind, studies medical skills, and loves his own post! What is the sin of such a person? He is speaking with the vocation and conscience of a doctor, not to mention that he has not "spread rumors" on any public social media, let alone has had the slightest impact on the overall harmony and stability of society. Zhu Yi's heart swelled with waves that were difficult to calm down, and he said to Zhang Dawei: "Some of you bureaucrats are making a big fuss about Gan Zitong, they are insensitive, they are making something out of nothing, and they are turning a blind eye to the new crown epidemic!" This will lead to disasters, and if you don't help disasters, you can't get along with people, and what are you talking about people's livelihood! ”

Zhang Dawei was silent for a long time. When he left, he said to Zhu Yi affectionately: "On behalf of me, I personally ask Gan Zitong how well he is with the doctor, and I hope he recovers soon!" ”

Zhang Dawei believes that the new crown pneumonia epidemic is serious and effective measures should be taken immediately. He came to the general office and found the relevant personnel, and he asked to see the secretary and report the situation. The personnel concerned told him that the leaders were holding the two sessions, and they could not arrange anything, and the schedule had already been arranged until the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there were too many kinds of entertainment during the intermission of the two sessions.

Zhang Dawei said to the relevant personnel: "I want to report the new crown pneumonia epidemic to the secretary, this matter is already very serious, and I can't be careless." He paused, and seeing that the relevant personnel were absent-minded, he raised his voice and continued: "I shouldn't be nosy in this matter, but there are too many people who petition and complain, and I also found that the situation is very serious. ”

The person concerned just laughed, not knowing if it was okay or not.

Zhang Dawei asked: "I heard that the relevant expert delegation made a special trip to Wuhan for investigation of the unknown pneumonia epidemic, do the relevant departments have any arrangements for responding?" ”

The personnel concerned looked at Zhang Dawei blankly and shook their heads.

Zhang Dawei left the office building tired, in a gloomy mood. He looked at the winter sky, the clouds rolling, and the wind was fiercer.
