The epidemic is ebb, and other difficulties are becoming more and more apparent-at least Chen Xingxu feels that way.

He is the initiator of the Wuhan 520 Volunteer Team. From the beginning of the outbreak, this team has been committed to helping patients with new coronary pneumonia be admitted to hospital as soon as possible and provide psychological assistance. In order to collect and verify a continuous stream of help information, there are more than 800 volunteers at the core of the team.

At that time, such a call for help "resolved the first one, and there were ten and twenty. Ten ten and twenty were solved, and one hundred and two hundred came." Now, such help information is getting more and more less. At 04:00 on March 16, the number of newly diagnosed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Hubei Province was only one in Wuhan, and none in the other 16 cities and prefectures. As of 16:00 on March 14, the cumulative number of Wuhan's epidemic-free communities was 4,871. Accounting for 68.6%. At the same time, under the topic related to the treatment of new coronary pneumonia on Weibo, some non-new coronary pneumonia patients with severe help began to flood in.

At present, on Sina Weibo, a topic called # 非 pulmonitis patients seeking help #, the help information is updated almost daily, as of the press time, the reading has reached 110 million; another #Wuhan non-pneumonia critically ill patients The topic of 求助 # has also read 46.878 million.

In the early days of the epidemic, Chen Xingxu had seen the helplessness of non-neoplastic pneumonia patients-he had helped Yan Chengang, a baby diagnosed with Pierrot syndrome. Yan Chen was born the day before Wuhan's "City Closing" and was diagnosed with this rare congenital disease shortly after birth.

This rare disease is characterized by malformations of the jaw, fallback of the tongue, cleft palate, and obstructed airway obstruction. Yan Chengang's trachea is only 2.5 mm, which is almost half that of a normal baby. He had been using a ventilator for several days to support his life, and was having difficulty breathing and eating.

At the time, the only hospital Yan Yiwei could contact with was surgery in Nanjing. However, the vehicles from Li Han require a permit, and the receiving hospital must report to the local epidemic prevention headquarters for approval. In addition, all attendants must have a negative nucleic acid test report. Yan Yiwei couldn't give these proofs. At that time, there was no chance to get a place for nucleic acid testing without fever.

Later, Chen Xingxu joined the members of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology Alumni Association, the government departments and media of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu, and sent Yan Chengang to the car for Nanjing. On March 4, the child finally had surgery.

This is just one of the patients Chen Xingxu helped to help. A 39-year-old patient with neo-coronary pneumonia has uremia. When family members sent for help, he had stayed at home for more than 20 days, dialysis was forced to be interrupted for more than 20 days, the person was unconscious, and the blood oxygen saturation of arterial blood was only about 50%. "Basically in a state of asphyxia ". In helping patients contact the hospital, Chen Xingxu received news of his death.

Chen Xingxu also received a request for help. The 15-year-old boy was suspected of having leukemia. However, the hospital he visited became the designated hospital for patients with new coronary pneumonia, and he could only be discharged.

The hospital's statement was: "We have no choice but to go home to raise it and wait until the epidemic has eased." The next day, Chen Xingxu brought in a volunteer's car to ensure that the boy returned home. After that, I called the hospital again, and the other side was anxious. "If I don't leave the hospital, patients with new coronary pneumonia come in, and what's new infection?"

Chen Xingxu was also blinded. He understood this truth, but couldn't help it. This volunteer team started to help patients with new coronary pneumonia find beds from the outbreak of the outbreak, and it was quite mature, but at that time, Chen Xingxu felt "helpless".

Xia Jian, deputy director of the Emergency Center of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, once estimated to the media that under normal circumstances, his hospital receives 120,000 emergency patients a year, of which 10% -20% are patients in need of rescue. However, the rescue volume during the epidemic was about one-third of the normal state, including the first aid caused by new coronary pneumonia.

On February 16, the Wuhan Municipal Health and Medical Commission successively announced the list of hospitals for patients with non-new coronary pneumonia. After that, on February 21, the Wuhan Municipal Epidemic Prevention Command set up a "non-new crown pneumonia medical treatment team". Relevant medical and nursing resources and medical resources are still being coordinated. From March 16th, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission announced the progress of the recovery of medical resources of non-new crown designated hospitals daily, and dynamically displayed the list of non-new crown designated hospitals, various hospital outpatients, emergency departments And the opening of the inpatient department.

After the Wuhan Municipal Health and Medical Committee successively announced the list of non-new coronary pneumonia patients' treatment hospitals, Chen Xingxu observed a turning point-some designated hospitals in Wuhan sent patients with new coronary pneumonia to branch hospitals. Many medical teams in Hubei started to stand by and have been in short supply. Medical resources have been alleviated to some extent.

However, when the epidemic has not completely subsided, the situation for other critically ill patients is still complicated.

A patient once found Chen Xingxu and said that he had gone to the hospital due to lung cancer, but the doctor said at the first sight of the film, please go to the nucleic acid test first, or go to the designated hospital. "We can't accept it."

If no nucleic acid test is performed, it is not neo-coronary pneumonia and the hospital cannot treat it. But the problem is that there are procedures for free nucleic acid testing, which need to have fever symptoms, be suspected, and follow the community reporting process. At present, paid testing channels are open, but the waiting time is relatively long.

Like the patient with cerebral hemorrhage, Chen Xingxu learned that although many patients were admitted to the hospital, because the current medical resources could not meet the needs, they were all stuck in the transfer.

Involving transfer to another hospital is even more difficult. Due to the illness, some critically ill patients in Hubei Province must focus on the provincial capital Wuhan in order to seek better treatment conditions. "Wuhan has become their only channel of assistance." But this requires Wuhan hospitals to receive it, and also need to apply for a relevant pass.

With the increasing closure of the city, these non-neocoronary pneumonia patients face more and more problems. How many non-neoplastic pneumonia patients are waiting for treatment, Chen Xingxu can't say the answer.

He remembered that a patient from Tianmen, Hubei, was admitted to the hospital because of fever, and after several times the nucleic acid test was negative. The hospital requested to be transferred to the relevant hospital in Wuhan for leukemia treatment. First, the major hospitals did not have beds. After contacting the hospital, they got stuck. On the pass.

After several coordinations, the new problem they faced was that the local hospital suddenly stopped letting people go—because they had a fever and were admitted to the hospital. They lived in the infected area. Even after the new coronary pneumonia was ruled out, the hospital said that under the conditions, there was no way to change Wards, in the end they could only stay in local isolation.

Another civilian volunteer organization, the Wu Xinyuan team, organizes a verified list of patients with non-new coronary pneumonia every few days. In addition to those seeking hospitalization and transfer, there are also people who seek coordination of vehicles, help, and out of town.

Among them, a 68-year-old lung cancer patient from Ezhou City, Hubei Province, has reached the discharge standard at Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The three family members who can accompany him are stranded due to the closure of the city, making it difficult to afford medical and living expenses. Due to diabetes, eating is a problem in front of him during the hospital. He hopes to leave the city and return to his hometown as soon as possible.
