In the season when the magnolia flowers were blooming, Ye Xin, the head nurse of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, passed away forever. She died on the battlefield against SARS. Before her death, she left an unforgettable sentence: This place is dangerous, let me come.

——"People's Daily" commentary on April 18: "People's health is more important than Mount Tai"
"Any great doctor who treats diseases must have no desires or desires and vow to provide universal salvation." The suffering of the soul. Don't look forward or backward, worry about good or bad luck, protect your body and life, and go to rescue with all your heart, day and night, cold and heat, hunger and thirst, fatigue."
Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, named this article "The Great Physician's Sincerity". The first masterpiece of traditional Chinese medicine, "Essential Prescriptions for Emergencies," advocates that doctors must carry forward the humanitarian spirit of saving lives and healing the wounded, be "proficient" in their profession, and "sincere" in their moral character. Only in this way can they be "great doctors" with both ability and political integrity.
This article "The Sincerity of Great Doctors" is exactly what Ye Xin, the head nurse of the Ersha Emergency Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was admitted to the hospital's "Health Training Team" in 1974 and officially entered the medical school. A lesson.
Having been the head nurse of the emergency department at the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for 23 years, whether it was on-site first aid to a critically ill migrant worker who jumped from a building, taking the lead in caring for AIDS drug addicts, or risking his life to rescue SARS patients, Ye Xin always There is no "looking forward and backward, worrying about good or bad luck". She used her own life to write the "sincerity" of Chinese great medicine. In the early morning of March 24, 2003, Ye Xin, who unfortunately fell ill while rescuing SARS patients, died in the line of duty at the age of 46.
In the past few days, reporters have visited Ye Xin’s family, friends, colleagues, patients, and the attending doctor (responsible for her pre-death rescue work) to pursue the immortal spirit of this angel in white.
Distribute medicine and soup to everyone every day
Be sure to personally supervise everyone to take preventive medicine with boiled water, even the cleaners are no exception
Starting from February, The Ersha Branch of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine continues to receive cases of atypical pneumonia. Since front-line medical staff at the Dade Road General Hospital had been infected by infectious diseases before, Nurse Ye Xin was particularly cautious.
Every morning, she returns to the department half an hour early to prepare preventive medicines for everyone and distribute them to every doctor, nurse, and caregiver, including the cleaners. Some preventive drugs have strong side effects, and Ye Xin must personally supervise everyone to take them with boiled water.
Before entering the ward, Ye Xin repeatedly emphasized various preventive measures: change into work clothes, shoes, and socks; wear masks, hats, and goggles; change isolation gowns before entering the isolation ward; wash hands, gargle.
During the days when she was fighting SARS, she only slept for a few hours every day, but she still never forgot to cook a pot of Laohuo soup before going to bed, sometimes with American ginseng and sometimes with Cordyceps sinensis. , she would take it back to the hospital the next day and give it to her colleagues to drink to improve their immunity.
Always keep the danger to yourself
When faced with critically ill patients, she takes the lead and sometimes even closes the door to rescue them, not allowing too many people to intervene
No one can be sure on which day or time Chief Ye was infected with SARS. Every time a suspected or confirmed patient is sent to the department, she and the director of the emergency department take the lead, shouldering the heavy medical care work. Sometimes they even perform rescue operations behind closed doors to prevent too many colleagues from intervening.
"I have checked this patient's temperature, listened to his lungs, and suctioned sputum. Please don't go in and try to reduce the chance of infection." In the days of fighting against SARS, these words made people angry. Many young nurses were in tears.
"Mr. Ye may have been infected on February 24." Nurse Xiaorong recalled that night, a 40-year-old patient with acute abdominal intestinal obstruction discovered that after emergency surgery, She also had SARS symptoms such as high fever and lung shadows, so she was sent to the emergency room and hospitalized for observation. She soon developed respiratory failure.
Chief Ye was on the front line, cooperating with doctors to perform tracheal intubation and put on a ventilator. The patient had a lot of secretions at that time, which may have been sprayed on the head nurse during the rescue...
"It may have been caused by the infection while the head nurse was cleaning after Xiao Chen fell ill." Nurse Xiao Yu knew it I remember that after the first nurse infection occurred in the department at the end of February, Nurse Ye had been thinking hard, wondering which link was not done enough to allow the virus to take advantage of it. She personally disinfected every phone, cleaned every door handle, and even inspected and disinfected where work clothes were placed, where work shoes were changed, and where insoles were placed. Xiao Yu believed that Chief Ye had been exposed to so many suspicious poisonous substances during disinfection, so he might have been infected at that time.
“It may have been on the morning of March 1st that four of our medical staff fell ill after rescuing the patient.” Zhang Zhongde, director of the emergency department who also fell ill, has an unforgettable memory of that rescue scene. Huai: Three days later, at 12 noon, 6 pm and 10 pm on March 4, Nurse Ye, Director Zhang and Dr. Jiang of the emergency department had fevers and were quarantined respectively. On the same day, the anesthesiologist also fell ill.
At 8:10 a.m. on March 1, the emergency department was changing shifts. The family member of an 87-year-old suspected SARS patient rushed into the doctor's office: The patient is not alive! Nurse Ye and others rushed to the patient's bed: they saw the patient's face and lips were purple, his breathing was weak, and the regular electrocardiogram turned into chaotic waves... Everyone immediately evacuated the other three patients and their family members in the ward, and then Emergency chest massage, artificial respiration, cardiac electric shock, intravenous channel establishment, repeated injection of first aid and cardiotonic drugs, intubation and ventilator...
At 9:15 in the morning, the patient died after resuscitation failed. This was a highly dangerous patient. Everyone knew that they should put on an isolation gown before rescuing him, but during the more than an hour of rescuing, no one was willing to leave the patient even for a few minutes to protect themselves.
Lying in the hospital bed and still thinking about work
When the doctors and nurses approached her, she struggled to write on the paper "Don't come near me, you will be infected"
Isolation treatment In the early days, Ye Xin could still make phone calls. She called back to the department every day, asking everyone to remember to take preventive medicine, asking colleagues who came into contact with her to pay attention to physical examinations, asking nurses to record urine output for patients in bed 7, turn over and pat the back of patients in bed 9...
On the fourth day of illness, she developed difficulty breathing and was sent to the intensive care unit ICU together with the director of the emergency department. Everyone put on oxygen masks and could only encourage each other by sending text messages and writing notes. Everyone jokingly said that the nurse and director of the emergency department were still "spoken" in the ICU...
In order to reduce the number of colleagues Exposing her to the chance of being infected, she gave herself rehydration fluids. When doctors and nurses came close to her to listen to her lungs and suction sputum, she struggled to write on the paper: "Don't come close to me, you will be infected." When the dean and other colleagues came to visit, she wrote: "I am very hard, but I endure it." I can live there. Thank you for your concern, but don’t come to see me in the future. I don’t want to infect everyone.”
On March 11, Director Zhang of the Emergency Department received the last note from Nurse Ye: “I am. I can’t stand it anymore and I need to be put on a ventilator.” Director Zhang, who was also having difficulty breathing, wrote tremblingly: “Nurse, you must hold on! All the doctors and nurses in the hospital are supporting us!”
< p>Director Zhang never waited for Protector Ye’s reply. After she was intubated and put on a ventilator, she was injected with sedative drugs to enter a "hibernation" state to prevent her from falling off the ventilator due to agitation. When she passed away in the early morning of March 24, Ye Xin was very calm.On the same day, a patient in the ICU recovered and was discharged. He was the patient with intestinal obstruction combined with atypical pneumonia that Ye Xin risked his life to rescue on the evening of February 24. In order not to leave a shadow on his future life, no one told him when he was discharged from the hospital: the nurse who rescued him is now sleeping in the hospital where she dedicated half her life.
Concentrate experts to do their best to rescue
A famous doctor in his 70s flew from Tianjin to Guangzhou the next day without saying a word
Ye Xin got sick Later, Zhang Dejiang, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, entrusted Cai Dongshi, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, to visit her and her family and learn about her condition; Vice Governor Lei Yulan contacted Huang Yebin, Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, and Huang Qingdao, Director of the Provincial Department of Health. Accompanied by his wife, he went to the hospital to inquire about the treatment situation. The Provincial Department of Health, the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine provided technical, material, and equipment support to rescue her.
The hospital has established a treatment team and invited the best experts in the country to participate in consultation and first aid.
The leader of the treatment team was Ye Xin's former emergency department director Liu Xusheng. In order to rescue her in time, he simply moved to the hospital. Taking Ye Xin's medical records and information, he personally visited Zhongshan First Hospital, Zhongshan Second Hospital, Zhongshan Third Hospital, Provincial People's Hospital, and Nanfang Hospital to consult experts in the Department of Infectious Diseases, Hematology, and Nephrology. The deputy director of Guangzhou Urology Research Institute visited the ward for consultation many times. In the later stages of the illness, Ye Xin developed disseminated intravascular coagulation, systemic bleeding, and multiple organ failure of the heart, liver, and kidneys. The hospital invited an expert from Tianjin Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine who specializes in multiple organ failure. The 70-year-old man Without saying a word, the famous doctor flew to Guangzhou the next day and walked into Ye Xin's ward...

2003-04-20 07:33:40 Nanfang Net-Southern Metropolis Daily
p>The hero in white went to sleep, and his relatives placed a stick of incense.
Southern Network News Her hearty laughter still seems to be echoing in the department, and the patients still seem to remember her always busy figure and her caring soothing like the spring breeze. However, in March when everything is recovering, 46-year-old Ye Xin, head nurse of the emergency department of Ersha Branch of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, passed away forever.
Face the disease when it comes
Ye Xin knew the dangers of fighting SARS this time. Two weeks before she fell ill, we even canceled our weekend dinner party with the elderly.
Ye Xin’s lover is always calm and calm. He believed that danger and death would never really come into his bright-eyed wife; he believed that his wife would never leave him and his son who was still in college. However, Ye Xin fell on the battlefield fighting SARS day and night. In the past, he didn't even know how much his family's water and electricity bills were, but now he has to rely on his father and son to take care of himself and his son, starting from cooking and washing. He endured his grief and took Ye Xin's beloved work clothes and swallowtail hat from the department where she worked, so that she could say her final goodbyes. Because, "She likes work clothes, no matter how old or shabby they are, she likes them." With tears in his eyes, he told the reporter who went to interview: "Actually, Ye Xin knew the dangers of fighting SARS this time. Two weeks before she fell ill, we even canceled the weekend dinner party with the elderly. When the disease became serious, When the attack came, Ye Xin faced it. She did not desert, and we are proud of her."
Take the lead and work overtime
When she was busy, Ye Xin even refused to answer her family. Call to inquire. He just said to the girl who answered the phone, "Tell him, I'm in class. It's okay."
In February this year, the Ersha Emergency Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine began to discover cases of SARS and suspected SARS. The number of patients peaked at 5 per day. Faced with a doubled workload, head nurse Ye Xin made careful plans and arranged intensive classes. In order to prevent the disease from infecting her colleagues, the first thing she did when she went to work every day was to personally fetch boiling water and preventive medicine, and watch them take it with her own eyes. She earnestly reminded everyone to take various isolation measures, and everyone from doctors to nursing staff took care of them. The rigorous and serious inspections were almost to the point of being picky.
Personal Profile
Name: Ye Xin
Age: 46 years old
Surname: Female
Resume : Joined the workforce in 1976 and served as head nurse at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine since 1984. In the early morning of March 25, 2003, he died while serving as head nurse in the emergency department of the Ersha Branch of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine
As With the sharp increase in SARS patients, the work intensity of the department continues to increase. Ye Xin took the lead and started working overtime on February 8. When he was busy, he even refused to answer calls from his family members. He just said to the girl who answered the phone, "Tell him, I'm in class. It's okay."
"I have checked this patient's temperature, listened to his lungs, and suctioned sputum, so don't go in." , to minimize the chance of infection." In the days of fighting against SARS, Ye Xin's words made many young nurses cry.
Mr. Liang, a patient with original coronary heart disease who had undergone heart bypass surgery, came to the emergency department due to fever and cough. His condition deteriorated sharply in a short period of time, with difficulty breathing, irritability, cyanosis, heart failure and respiratory failure. . Head nurse Ye Xin rushed over quickly, skillfully raised the hospital bed so that the patient was in a semi-sitting and recumbent position, used a mask to inhale oxygen, connected the bedside electrocardiogram, blood pressure and oxygen saturation monitor, and injected intravenous cardiotonic drugs, vasoactive drugs, Respiratory stimulants, monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, respiration... 2 hours later, the patient was finally out of danger. Nurse Ye ignored the rest and dragged her exhausted body back to rescuing another patient. Because there are still critically ill patients on the ventilator, Xian Bo in bed 7, and Gao Bo in bed 9, waiting for her to check... In this way, high-risk, high-intensity, and high-efficiency work has always been with Ye Xin.
"It's dangerous here, let me do it!" Ye Xin and Zhang Zhongde, director of the Ersha Emergency Department, silently made a sincere choice without regrets. Ye Xin tried his best to take over the examination and rescue of critical SARS patients. , treatment, and nursing work, and sometimes even shut out colleagues, with harsh words and no possibility of negotiation. However, misfortune soon occurred.
February 24 was a tense but ordinary day for Ye Xin. When I was working the night shift the night before yesterday, I felt sore all over my body and very tired. Since the emergence of SARS patients in the emergency department, she no longer has the concept of holidays or weekends. In recent times, she has obviously felt low in energy, especially cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis and knee joint disease, which seem to be coming at once, but there are too many things that require her in the emergency department, and she can't let go.
In the morning, an acute abdomen patient with suspected intestinal obstruction came to the emergency department. At the same time, some of the patient's symptoms attracted the great attention of medical staff. The suspicion was finally confirmed: SARS again! The patient's condition took a turn for the worse, and all serious symptoms appeared. This was a severely "toxic" patient! Nurse Ye and members of the expert team quickly launched rescue work, and the patient was finally brought back from the brink of death. But it was at this time that SARS broke into Ye Xin, who had been fighting on the front line for many days.
"Don't come close to me, you will be infected."
Facing the doctor who came to treat her, she suddenly and eagerly motioned to the nurse to hand her a paper and pen, and wrote tremblingly: "Don't come close to me, it will be contagious." The nurse tearfully handed the paper to these colleagues.
In the early morning of March 4, Ye Xin came to the department early as usual. She had been tired all morning. She didn’t drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food. She only felt pain all over her body and had to crawl into bed with great effort. rest. Just after noon, the extremely tired head nurse Ye began to have fever symptoms and had to go to the ward for isolation and observation. The body temperature is rising and rehydration is dripping, but Nurse Ye is still worried about several critically ill patients in the department. Through the call device, colleagues in the emergency department heard her weak but kind voice again: "How much urine is produced every 2 hours in bed 7? Critically ill patients should turn over on time and take good care of their skin and oral cavity!"
The disease finally did not let her go. It was diagnosed that Ye Xin contracted SARS, and she had to be admitted to the headquarters of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she had worked for 27 years. In the first few days, whenever medical staff came for examination and treatment, she always repeatedly told them to wear an extra set of isolation gowns and multiple layers of masks. She even proposed to take care of herself: "I am an old head nurse, what can't I do?" When the hospital leaders came to visit, the first thing she talked about was not her illness, but reviewing her own shortcomings, blaming herself for accidentally contracting the disease, and giving the hospital and the The leader caused trouble.
On the fourth day of the illness, she had difficulty breathing and was sent to the intensive care unit (ICU) together with the director of the emergency department. According to Ye Xin's colleagues, everyone wore oxygen masks and could only send text messages and write notes. Encourage each other. One day, facing the doctor who came to treat her, she suddenly and urgently signaled the nurse to hand her a paper and pen, and wrote with difficulty: "Don't come close to me, it will be contagious." The nurse handed the paper to these colleagues with tears in her eyes. When the dean and other colleagues came to visit, she wrote: "It's hard for me, but I can bear it. Thank you for your concern, but don't come to see me in the future. I don't want to infect everyone."
March On the 11th, Director Zhang of the emergency department, who also suffered from SARS, received the last note from Nurse Ye: "I really can't stand it anymore and I need to be put on a ventilator." After she was intubated and put on the ventilator, she was put on the ventilator. The patient was injected with sedative drugs to enter a "hibernation" state to prevent the ventilator from being detached due to agitation.
Experts tried their best to save her but failed
Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee Zhang Dejiang entrusted Secretary-General Cai Dongshi to express condolences to her and her family; Vice Governor Lei Yulan also met with Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government Huang Yebin and the Provincial Health Department Accompanied by Director Huang Qingdao, he went to the hospital in person to understand the treatment situation.
In order to treat Ye Xin, the hospital set up a treatment team as quickly as possible and sought support from across the country. During an expert consultation, President Lu Yubo heard that an expert in Tianjin had unique experience in treating multiple organ failure. He called the expert in Tianjin that night. The expert was moved by President Lu's eagerness and sincerity. I took the first flight to Guangzhou the next morning.
However, as time went by, Ye Xin's condition never improved. I don’t know how many people are praying for Ye Xin. I don’t know how many people ask with concern as soon as they go to work, "How is the head nurse Ye? Is it getting better?" Ye Xin's condition affects almost everyone's hearts. Zhang Dejiang, Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, entrusted Secretary-General Cai Dongshi to express condolences to her and her family; Vice Governor Lei Yulan, accompanied by Huang Yebin, Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, and Huang Qingdao, Director of the Provincial Department of Health, personally went to the hospital to understand the treatment situation. Leaders from the Provincial Department of Health, the Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine also provided technical, material, and equipment support to rescue Ye Xin.
No matter how many people’s efforts and calls, they couldn’t stop Ye Xin from leaving in a hurry! Less than a week after the last patient she rescued, who also infected her with SARS, was discharged from the hospital in good health, at 1:30 a.m. on March 25, Ye Xin left her beloved post and comrade forever. and loved ones!
On the afternoon of March 29, all the staff of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine paid her final farewell in the Qingsong Hall of the Guangzhou Funeral Home. The wreaths are like a sea and the tears are like rain. In her portrait, what is left to people is her eternal smile.
■Conversation
Let her go in nurse uniform. Mr. Zhang fondly recalled every detail of his wife Ye Xin
Yesterday (April 19) 4 pm At that time, the late spring sunset softly shone on the home of an ordinary resident in Dongshan District, Guangzhou. Mr. Zhang, the CEO of a certain company, smoked cigarettes non-stop. When talking about his wife Ye Xin to reporters, he would look intently at his wife's beautiful and dignified portrait on the table opposite. The haggard-looking Mr. Zhang’s eyes couldn’t help but fill with tears, although he had always wanted to have this conversation in a calm tone.
Reporter (hereinafter referred to as "Reporter"): In recent days, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily and other media have published articles and comments about your wife. Do you see these and you have more feelings for your wife? Missing you?
Mr. Zhang (hereinafter referred to as "Zhang"): Ye Xin passed away in the early morning of March 25. It has been almost a month now, but my son and I still cannot calm down. I try not to see friends, Relatives just want to work hard. Although Ye Xin has passed away, I still often feel her presence. I really feel comforted by the articles published by the media these days. It should be said that my wife is an ordinary person, but she is a qualified Communist Party member.
Reporter: When did you and Ye Xin meet? What was your first impression of her?
Zhang: We met through the introduction of a head nurse. It was January 1981. Ye Xin was still working as a nurse in the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The first impression she gave me was that she was easy-going, cheerful and kind. We got married soon after the Spring Festival of that year. Our son is 21 years old this year. Our relationship has always been harmonious. I thought our marriage was unbreakable, but her passing completely shattered it all, which was a huge blow to me.
Reporter: At that time, your wife was fighting on the front line against SARS. As a family member, were you worried about her safety? How did she get sick?
Zhang: In fact, both she and I are very aware of this danger, but what I admire most about her is her kindness and principles of life. She told me at that time that she despised some people who chickened out on the spot. I also agree with her point of view. I have been a soldier. We understand very well that this time is like a war. Only those who rush forward are good soldiers. But after all, she made a contribution with her life (Mr. Zhang’s voice started to choke). I remember that on the morning of March 4th, she who had to take my blood pressure every morning did not get up. She said she was very tired, but she insisted on going back to work. Unexpectedly, she never returned home after going there...
Reporter: Did you visit her every day when she was sick?
Zhang: As her condition became more and more serious, the doctor refused to let me go in to see her. I fought for a long time. I felt that she needed me, even though she always let me go in to see her. Let’s go. If I couldn’t speak even though I was wearing an oxygen mask, she would signal to me to leave, and if that didn’t work, she would write a note. I know she did this because she was afraid that I would get infected, but she is my wife, and for her, it doesn’t matter whether I get infected or not.
Reporter: I heard that before Ye Xin’s body was cremated, you insisted on changing her into a nurse’s uniform. What mood did you want to express at that time?
Zhang: At around 0:00 on March 25, I received a call from the hospital, asking me to come over immediately. I thought the doctor was going to take emergency measures and asked me to sign, but when I arrived at the hospital, , she has gone. I felt like the sky was going to fall. I couldn't believe she just left like that. She left so fast! (At this point, Mr. Zhang burst into tears) Before she was cremated, I insisted on changing her into a nurse uniform. Did you know? How much she loves her job as a nurse. Since she fell in this position, let her go wearing this nurse uniform. I think she will be very happy... (Editor: Feng Yiju)
China Broadcasting Corporation Comment: Flowers are presented to bring back spring and pay tribute to the heroes who fought against SARS!
China Broadcasting Network 2003-04-20 12:02:55
China Broadcasting Network Beijing News on April 20 (Reporter Guo Changjiang) China Broadcasting Network today broadcast the commentary "Flowers Presentation" The Master of Spring Festival pays tribute to the heroes who fought against SARS! ”, the full text is as follows:
Nobel Peace Prize winner Italian doctor Carlo Urbani passed away forever after sounding the SARS alarm. During the season when the magnolia flowers were in full bloom, Ye Xin, a nurse at the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, died fighting SARS.
Since this spring, a sudden and new infectious disease - SARS has been raging in some provinces and regions in my country, directly threatening the health and life safety of the people. SARS is a brand-new virus that is highly contagious. It is a new global problem faced by mankind. On this battlefield, which is called "without bullets and without gunpowder smoke," the fearless angels in white use their sincere hearts to continue to write the story of saving lives and healing the wounded with their silent actions in the face of the choices of infection and survival. history.
Associate Professor Deng Zide of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University was infected while rescuing patients, but continued to fight after being cured. One of his poems "A Doctor Has No Regrets" reads: "He saves lives and heals the wounded and braves dangerous situations. He goes through all the hardships without any regrets. He is determined to practice medicine without regrets. Once he becomes ill, he will know more about the difficulties. One day, I will be strong and strong, and I will be able to hang on to the common people again. ” expressed the strong determination of all medical staff and patients to defeat the disease.
Ding Xiangchun, an attending physician in the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Affiliated Hospital of Ningxia Medical College, and Ma Lina, a resident physician, are a newly married couple. Faced with the SARS epidemic in Ningxia, the couple submitted a request to the hospital leaders to work on the front line of treating SARS, and received the hospital's approval. In their words, "This is the bounden duty of our medical staff. No matter how dangerous it is, we must rush forward!"
Although people talk about SARS, and even though one medical staff after another falls down due to infection, , but the brave medical staff did not flinch at all.
For thousands of years, when various disease-causing microorganisms have broken through human immune defenses, the emergence of epidemics is not an accident. From rabies, smallpox, the Black Death, to avian influenza, mad cow disease, and even AIDS, every time a virus attacks humans, it will cost humans a heavy price. But precisely because of this, mankind's passion and courage to fight against the virus have never weakened.
It is in the constant struggle and contest with the epidemic that mankind has accelerated the process of constantly understanding the world.
Faced with this brand-new disease, Chinese medical experts have boldly explored ways to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and have achieved remarkable results.
Isn’t it? Not long ago, Ye Huanzhen, a SARS patient in Guangzhou, recovered and was discharged from the hospital. She drank tea in the morning, went for a walk during the day, and played with her grandson. Her life was as usual; Beijing's first SARS patient also walked out of the hospital door with the blessing of flowers. According to statistics, nearly 80% of SARS patients in my country have been cured and discharged. Experts from the World Health Organization believe that China has found an effective method to control the epidemic and treat patients.
All of this embodies the efforts and lives of medical staff! Behind the heavy price they paid, there were beautiful rainbows dedicated to the people.
James Maguire, a World Health Organization expert who came to Guangzhou to investigate, was deeply moved by the spirit of our country’s medical staff: “The dedication of Chinese medical staff to risk their lives and rescue patients is extraordinary. , they are real heroes and admirable! ”
