"I'm a soldier and a party member, and asked the organization to send me to support Wuhan ..."

"Nursing positions are our battle position. We have to go where we are most needed."

"I beg the organization to send me to the 'Red Zone' ..."

With three letters of battle, she finally went from preparing for service to treating patients in the ICU known as the "most popular area", revealing the army's determination to support Hubei medical team member Zheng Jie's "epidemic".

In the thirtieth year of the lunar calendar, I heard that the hospital was drawing up a medical team to fight the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan. Before Jie Jie discussed it with his family, he printed a red handprint on the application. A few days later, on the eighth day of the first month, it was the day when she and her fiance discussed the marriage certificate. Zheng Jie, an "old team member" of the field medical clinic, felt that she should be ordered to go on a mission. However, for various reasons, the hospital failed to agree to her call and became a staff member.

On February 13, the hospital received support again. Zheng Jie asked for help twice, and 4 women team members to support Wuhan. Three days before departure, Zheng Jie edited a message and sent it to the family WeChat group. Fortunately, her "support" responses gave her great confidence. The fiancé understood Zheng Jie's worries, mobilized the family to send a small video, and wrote a farewell poem to cheer her up. "Stay until Chunhua Yang Liuyi, and marry a beautiful woman as my wife." Feeling the encouragement and warmth of her family, Zheng Jie felt The big rock was finally put down.

According to the order, Zheng Jie and four other team members entered the Guanggu District of Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital, responsible for drug distribution in the clean zone. Within a few days, Zheng Jie learned that there was a shortage of front-line nursing staff, and she wrote a request letter with four other team members and requested to be strengthened to the front-line "red zone". Soon, she was transferred to the Nursing Department, where she was responsible for front-line rounds.

Frontline resources are tight. In order to save protective clothing, Zheng Jie runs as many departments as possible at a time, and each time is three or four hours. In addition to nursing work, Zheng Jie has to rush back to the office every day to handle business.

As the number of critically ill patients continued to increase, in early March, the ICU set up an ICU based on the Second Department of Infectious Diseases, and the nursing staff was in a hurry again. After receiving the news, Zheng Jie again submitted a letter of request to the organization. "Every time I go to the 'Red Zone' for rounds, I really feel anxious when I see my comrades so hard. I am young and physically fit, let me go." This was Zheng Jie's request to the director of the nursing department when I went to the ICU. committed to.

"I know, you will definitely apply, just like when you went to Wuhan." Although the fiance was extremely worried about the change of post, he still gave understanding and support. "I will protect myself and keep my family secret." Zheng Jie and his fiance reached an alliance: no one said.

Sputum suction is a regular job for ICU nurses. Sometimes in the first shift, Zheng Jie has to operate more than 10 times. Each time the sputum is sucked, the patient's airway is exposed, and a large amount of aerosol is permeated in the air, which increases Zheng Jie's risk of infection. After more than 10 days, Zheng Jie's hands were washed and cracked, leaving "angel marks" on her face.

"It's not false to say, but you must suction in time to ensure that the patient's airway is clear and the sputum is removed in time ..."

"Since you're here to fight, you can't be afraid of risk."

"The ICU ward is the darkest moment for the patients. People who have walked away at the ghost gate need to be carefully cared for ..."

"Today's blood oxygen saturation in bed X drops rapidly, and his heart rate drops below 40, and one of his feet has stepped into the gate of the ghost. It's a great honour to be able to snatch it back from death."

...

Each piece of the "epidemic" diary records the bits and pieces of Zheng Jie in the Red Zone.

After dealing with the last patient at hand, a day of fighting finally came to an end. The weary Zheng Jie sent a message to the fiance, "Today another aunt I took care of was discharged from the hospital. I was so happy to see her discharged safely. Recently, the weather is warm, the cherry blossoms in Wuhan are blooming, and victory is ahead. . When the epidemic is over, let's take wedding photos in Wuhan! "(End)
