[Explanation] Under the fifth wave of the epidemic, the number of new crown patients admitted to Hong Kong public hospitals has increased sharply. As one of the more than 40 public hospitals in Hong Kong, Mrs. Youde Nethersole Hospital in the Eastern District of Hong Kong is also very busy.

A few days ago, Cai Chengzhi, a senior nurse in the nursing department of the hospital, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency through a video connection.

　　[Explanation] Cai Chengzhi is currently the nursing coordinator of the Nethersole Clinical Simulation Training Center of the Hong Kong Island East Network, and he is also teaching in the university.

After the Lunar New Year, he saw that the epidemic situation was getting worse, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to be transferred to the front line to support clinical work.

　　The biggest challenge is that the epidemic is always serious. It is inevitable that colleagues will be accidentally infected in their own home environment or in the community, or because some close contacts have to do some isolation actions, it will lead to the department's manpower. rather nervous.

Many times my colleagues can't come back to work. When they can't come to the hospital, everyone raises their hands and responds. It doesn't matter if I come to work, I can cancel my vacation and so on.

　　[Explanation] The "Intensive Treatment Unit" supported by Cai Chengzhi is also known as ICU or "Intensive Intensive Care Unit". Most of the patients admitted are critically ill. While doing their best to save the lives of patients, doctors also need to take care of patients. emotions of family members.

　　Because it is always an isolation ward, the isolation ward is not allowed to visit the patient, and the patient's family members really can't come.

Naturally, many times you will be very nervous, and you will call the hospital all day long. Everyone will try to arrange some video conferences and video interviews, try their best to explain the latest situation of the patient, and tell the patient's family member, hoping to alleviate their anxiety. anxiety.

　　[Explanation] For Cai Chengzhi, who has worked in the intensive care unit for many years, he has seen too many life and death.

Here, in addition to going all out to protect the lives of patients with their professional abilities, doctors are also their obligatory responsibility to bring warmth to people at the last moment of their lives.

　　I saw at the time that it was the patient's family, I think it was his daughter, who kept stroking the patient's face with his hands and helping him wipe his face.

I also saw that the family members were crying so much that they were really in tears.

My mood was a mixed feeling at that moment.

I took a warm wet towel to my family and wiped the patient's face.

Hand over a better tissue to wipe the tears of the family members.

The medical staff will try their best to guide the family members. What can be done?

You can hold his (patient) hand, or try to wipe his face, brush his hair, and do you have any special jewelry you want to wear.

Maybe the Chinese have a saying, don't be kind and not do something small, because every little thing we do, every little thing is good, in fact, it is a kind of heart for patients and their families, and let them do it. A good goodbye.

　　[Commentary] What Cai Chengzhi didn't expect was that in order to save the patients and their families no regrets, he was busy working in the ward, but because of this he missed the chance to see his seriously ill mother-in-law for the last time.

　　In fact, when I was helping other patients' families to say goodbye, my cell phone was ringing, I didn't know it myself, because I wouldn't look at my cell phone at work.

I didn't know there was such an important thing going on behind the scenes.

After finishing the work, I found out (my mother-in-law passed away).

There will be regrets all the same, like the kind of missing piece of the whole puzzle.

But now that I reflect on it, at least I saved others from regretting it.

I'm sure my mother-in-law will understand.

　　[Explanation] Although it is regrettable, Cai Chengzhi bluntly said that he has no regrets.

Today, he is still busy on the clinical front line of fighting the epidemic and treating diseases and saving people. For him, the value of this job lies in protecting the lives of patients, and more in soothing the hearts of family members, so that people can feel a sense of peace in the cold and desperate situation. The room is warm.
