Zhengzhou Metro Line 5
The trainee doctor Yu Yifei returned to the subway to kneel for 6 hours to save his life
After seeing the dangerous video on Metro Line 5, Yu Yifei was still a little scared.
This is a video that has been circulating widely on the Internet: stagnant water floods into a subway car, anxious passengers step on the benches on both sides of the car, call the police for help, the water has fallen to the chest of the passengers, leaving less than one height. The narrow space of meters.
The 26-year-old Yu Yifei was the first group of people to escape from the anchored subway in the water.
As he was about to walk out of the subway station, as a trainee doctor at Zhengzhou People’s Hospital, he put on a brand new white coat and returned to the rescue. From more than 6 pm on July 20 until 12 at night, he was in the subway station for 6 consecutive hours. Treated more than 20 injured passengers on the platform.
His act of kneeling to rescue was called a "heroic act" by netizens.
Because of his outstanding performance in this torrential rain rescue, Yu Yifei was directly hired by Zhengzhou People's Hospital without a probationary period. The hospital said it was proud of him.
Return to the platform to participate in rescue after escape
At around 4 pm on the 20th, due to heavy rain, Zhengzhou People’s Hospital suspended the training of newly recruited doctors ahead of schedule.
As he got off work, Yu Yifei packed the newly-issued white coat from the hospital into his bag and chose to go home in the rain.
From the People’s Hospital Station to the Houhelu Station near the residence, the journey takes about 30 minutes.
Yu Yifei waded into the subway. He was in the rush hour at the moment. There were no empty seats in the car, and the surrounding passengers were all wet.
After just one station, the subway suddenly stopped.
The car became agitated. Five minutes later, the car drove in the opposite direction, but a few seconds later, with a "boom", all the lights in the subway were dimmed.
A passenger yelled, "There is water in the car."
Yu Yifei was standing in the second car next to the front of the car. In the closed car, people called for help.
Yu Yifei, who has never reported his worries to his family, also began to call his family.
He told his father on the phone, "I feel there is a possibility that I can't get out. You and my mother should pay attention to your health and be good."
On the other side of the phone, working at the Henan Provincial Armed Police General Hospital, his father, who started preparing for the torrential rain, worked hard to comfort Yu Yifei, "There will be rescue, and we must believe that we will be able to escape."
Before the words were finished, the brief call was interrupted due to signal problems.
Communication has become difficult, and many people have been unable to communicate with the outside world.
In the chaos in the car, the subway staff opened an emergency evacuation door next to the front of the car and called the passengers to go forward.
Yu Yifei in Car No. 2 followed the other passengers into the subway tunnel and fled along the stairs next to the track.
"The emergency lights in the tunnel are on. Just remember that the water flows in the direction of the subway. We walked in the opposite direction." They finally reached the platform of the Shakou Road subway station on foot.
"I'm out of danger, and I'm resting in a nearby hotel." Afraid that his parents would be worried, Yu Yifei called his family to report safety as he walked. In fact, he had not yet left the subway station.
After hanging up the phone, he heard a staff member on the platform shouting, "Is there a doctor among the passengers? I need a doctor." Yu Yifei answered, "Me."
He took out the white coat printed "Zhengzhou People's Hospital" from his backpack and put it on him, followed the subway staff, and returned to the platform from the exit.
"There is a doctor." After someone shouted, the passengers and subway staff who had just escaped applauded to greet the doctor who appeared in time.
In fact, Yu Yifei just graduated with a master's degree from University College London this year and is not an official doctor yet.
He has just passed the written examination and interview at Zhengzhou People's Hospital. The 20th is the first day of his internship in the hospital.
Calling on the escaped passengers to help them teach them cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Passengers who have just escaped from the water need to be treated for mild illness and trauma. The subway provided gauze and other items, and Yu Yifei bandaged the injured.
"After the rescue team arrived later, the trapped passengers were also rescued one after another, but some people showed symptoms of hypothermia, drowning, and the most serious passengers' vital signs were not obvious." Yu Yifei said, it is necessary to first determine whether the rescued persons have any. Life-threatening, according to the situation, provide blanket insulation for low-temperature passengers, let hypoxic passengers go to high ventilation places, and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation for drowning passengers with unobvious vital signs.
Yu Yifei remembered that at that time, because there were not many people who knew first aid knowledge, some people pinched a drowning passenger's human acupuncture point, or held the passenger behind and pressed his abdomen.
In fact, it may be that the rescue method adopted is wrong, which will aggravate the situation.
"When I saw this, I told the rescuer, let me come." Yu Yifei said, because he was wearing a white coat, the other party was also very cooperative.
More and more people have been rescued, and more and more critically ill passengers need treatment.
Yu Yifei felt that it was impossible to rely solely on his own strength.
"Who can come and help." He shouted, and seven or eight passengers who had escaped surrounded him.
While rescuing, Yu Yifei taught them how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, explaining the frequency and strength of the compressions.
"After a few minutes, they will be thrown into the rescue." Yu Yifei said, although they are learning CPR for the first time, they may not do it standardly, "but at least it is better than nothing. Some people vomited after being rescued. I lost the water and regained my breath."
At about 8:50 in the evening, Qin Jielin, a doctor from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and Li Yinghao, a nurse from Henan Provincial People's Hospital, also escaped from the subway car and joined the rescue team.
On the 23rd, a reporter from the Beijing News met Yu Yifei at the Zhengzhou People's Hospital.
Due to the long rescue time that day, he continued to kneel for about 6 hours to perform CPR for the unconscious passenger. He expended a lot of physical strength, had a slight rhabdomyolysis, and the skin on his knees was worn out.
The trainee doctor is directly hired to the hospital without the exam: I am proud of him
At about 12 o’clock in the evening, Yu Yifei walked out of the Shakou Road subway station. There was water everywhere on the road, and his home was 15 kilometers away. He decided to go to the Armed Police Hospital near the subway station, "Go to his father." , There are viaducts in some sections of the road to avoid water."
On the viaduct, Yu Yifei borrowed a passerby's phone and dialed his father Yu Zhensheng's phone, saying that he was out of danger and went to the hospital for a while.
But for this 6-kilometer road, Yu Yifei walked for 4 hours.
Yu Zhensheng, who couldn't wait for his son, called back and learned that the mobile phone was borrowed from someone else. "Children always report good news but not bad news." Yu Zhensheng said.
After learning about the situation, Yu Zhensheng couldn't sit still. He took a flashlight from the hospital and walked to the street looking for his son.
On the road, the stagnant water did not reach his knees, and the surrounding area was pitch black. Yu Yifei was seriously overdrawn. He shouted as he walked: "Be brave and not afraid of difficulties."
This internet buzzword from the emoticon package became Yu Yifei's slogan on the nightwalk.
Until 4 am, Yu Yifei and his son met at the intersection of Daxue Road, Zhongyuan Road.
Across the road, Yu Yifei saw that the man standing upright holding an umbrella and holding a flashlight was his father.
Yu Zhensheng said that when he saw his son, he almost collapsed in the water. He took his son back to the Armed Police Hospital, only to find that his son’s clothes were stained with silt and blood.
What Yu Yifei didn't know was that when he walked out of the Shakou Road subway station and took off his white coat that had been stained with blood and mud. On the Internet, people reported that the 26-year-old, who had escaped from danger, returned to the subway station retrogradely. The probationary doctors put into rescue are called "heroes."
Why did he choose to turn around after he was out of danger at that time?
On July 23, Yu Yifei told a reporter from the Beijing News, “Healing patients and saving people is a doctor’s mission. As long as you are willing to help others, you will become a hero.”
Yu Yifei was directly hired by Zhengzhou People's Hospital for the free trial period because of his outstanding performance in the rescue of the heavy rain.
The hospital said that although he was a newcomer on the first day, his behavior made the hospital feel proud and proud.
It is the mission of a doctor to treat diseases and save people.
As long as you are willing to help others, you will become a hero.
-Yu Yifei
