Faced with the sudden attack of pneumonia of unknown origin, Deng Lianxian, as the party branch secretary and deputy director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, shouldered the burden of organization and coordination and rushed to the forefront

Sheep Deng Lianxian's wife, Zhu Xiujuan, was looking forward to the Spring Festival of 2016. It was rare that her husband, who was not on holiday duty, made a wish to her: "I can accompany you this year. We will go wherever you want." However, after eating just now, After the New Year's Eve dinner, before even watching two programs at the Spring Festival Gala, the phone rang: A patient with special pneumonia has arrived in the hospital, and he will return to the hospital immediately to prepare for rescue...

"It came so fast!" Deng Lian Xian put down the phone and rushed to the hospital. Just that afternoon, Zhongshan No. 3 Hospital received a notice that pneumonia of unknown cause occurred in Guangdong, and the hospital was one of the four designated hospitals to receive patients. Under the arrangement of the hospital, Deng Lianxian, as the branch secretary and deputy director of the Infectious Diseases Department, took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of personnel deployment, organization and coordination, and material implementation. On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure the strength of the treatment team, and on the other hand, it is necessary to ensure that the treatment of nearly a hundred patients is not affected. Inspired by his spirit, all staff voluntarily gave up their vacations and stayed at their posts. He knows that this job is very dangerous, and it is not his style to let others bear the risk and use the excuse of being over 50 years old to shirk it. He took the lead and led the department's medical staff into this "encounter".

The first patient was an 11-year-old child. Deng Lianxian and other experts conducted emergency consultations on the patient, performed various examinations, and determined a treatment plan. On this New Year's Eve, the Department of Infectious Diseases of Zhongshan Third Hospital was brightly lit. For this sudden disease, for which prevention and treatment are still in the exploratory stage, Deng Lianxian, who has rich clinical experience, intuitively realized its extremely dangerous nature. He personally arranged the ward and asked the medical staff participating in the consultation to carry out disinfection and isolation work. , the rescue was carried out nervously and orderly. Around 23:50, another female patient was brought. At this time, Deng Lianxian's mobile phone kept receiving New Year greetings messages, but he had no time to read them and was busy until 3 a.m. on the first day of the new year. After everything was ready, Deng Lianxian dragged his exhausted body home. He said to his lover: "I'm too tired." After saying that, he fell on the bed and fell asleep - this is how he spent the last part of his life. New Year's Eve.

On the first day of the new year, Deng Lianxian rushed to the hospital early in the morning for ward rounds. At around 11:30 a.m., a critically ill patient surnamed Zhou was sent to the hospital. This patient, known as the "Poison King", infected medical staff with SARS one after another, and more than 20 of his relatives and friends also became infected. At that time, the patient had a high fever, was restless, coughed frequently and violently, had extremely difficult breathing, was confused and was in danger of death at any time.

The situation is critical and there is no need to delay. Deng Lianxian and his colleagues immediately launched intense rescue operations, including anti-inflammatory, oxygen inhalation, sedation, and hormone administration, but the patient's condition continued to worsen. The expert team quickly made a decision to intubate the patient's trachea and apply a ventilator to assist breathing. This patient was strong and weighed 80 kilograms. Due to extreme hypoxia, he was extremely emotionally unstable. He was even more irritable and uncooperative during the tracheal intubation. It was not easy to "do anything" with him.

"Quick, quick!" At this time, the patient's life was in seconds. Deng Lianxian couldn't even think about it and pressed the patient's body hard. The medical staff present also One after another came forward, some held the patient's head, some pressed hands, and some pressed feet, asking the anesthesiologist to insert the catheter as soon as possible. During this process, the patient coughed violently, causing a large amount of bloody sputum to spurt out from the intubation site. The medical staff present were contaminated from head to toe, and the air was full of viruses.

Deng Lianxian, who has been dealing with infectious diseases for more than 30 years, clearly knows that he is in danger, but at this moment, how can he let go of the patient and retreat midway? He and his colleagues had no time to change their clothes and continue the rescue. The patient has difficulty breathing and must constantly remove the intubation tube and suction sputum. During the three hours of rescue at the scene, several jars were used to collect sputum from the patient. Deng Lianxian and the experts closely monitored changes in the condition and adjusted various parameters of the ventilator at any time. The patient's condition finally stabilized and was brought back from the "death line".

Time is measured in minutes and seconds when rescuing patients, but for Deng Lianxian himself, the concept of time has become blurred these days. When to eat and when to rest all depend on the patient's condition. illness. He had severe gastric ulcer and had suffered from massive gastrointestinal bleeding. However, in the face of critically ill patients, during the Spring Festival of the Year of the Sheep, he could only eat a few mouthfuls of cool box lunches in the office. In the next few days, several critically ill patients were sent to Zhongshan Third Hospital. Every day, Deng Lianxian has to work continuously for more than 10 hours. The highly stressful work and a lot of physical exertion are difficult for even a young and strong man to support. When he returned home, the process of rescuing the patient replayed in his mind again and again, making it difficult for him to fall asleep: experiences and lessons needed to be summarized, and how to carry out the next step of the work urgently needed to be thought about... On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Deng Lianxian suddenly felt that he could not survive. He suffered from myalgia, fatigue, headache and high fever all over his body. He was infected with the virus and had inflammation in his lungs. He was admitted to the hospital where he worked.

Just like a war, whoever charges first may fall first. After Deng Lianxian, 20 front-line medical staff in the hospital also fell ill. The "SARS" cases treated by Zhongshan Third Hospital were all early and extremely severe and highly contagious critical cases. At that time, the understanding of the disease was still very vague. Faced with an unknown and huge danger, Deng Lianxian and his team Colleagues became the first batch of "minesweepers."

At this time, people discovered that among the four-member expert group that Deng Lianxian was in to treat patients in the early stage, three of them were party branch secretaries from various departments. All four experts later contracted SARS. ; Among the nine medical staff who participated in the rescue of the "Poison King", six were Communist Party members.

The title of "Secretary Deng" that we usually take for granted has now become a tearful narration and infinite respect, even though what people are telling us is trivial matters

Medical staff from the Third Hospital of Zhongshan Hospital who were infected with SARS have recovered and been discharged one after another after treatment. However, Deng Lianxian, who was the first to fall ill and led his comrades in the charge, never came back...

April 21 At 5:45 pm, Deng Lianxian closed his eyes forever due to multiple organ failure.

From the white-haired teacher, to the colleagues who get along day and night, to the loving wife, everyone we interviewed who knew Deng Lianxian said that he was a good person, a good doctor, and a good party secretary. In the ordinary but difficult trivial matters, Deng Lianxian seemed to have regained life and stood before us kindly.

"Secretary Deng", colleagues always affectionately call Deng Lianxian. In the Department of Infectious Diseases, everyone is accustomed to looking for "Secretary Deng" for big and small matters, not only because he is the branch secretary, but also because he is particularly patient and not afraid of trouble.

The gray-haired Professor Yao Jilu, Deng Lianxian’s colleague and teacher for 30 years, was a strong and optimistic person. He couldn’t help but shed tears when talking about Deng Lianxian’s departure. His evaluation of this beloved disciple was: "He is an honest man." When it comes to working diligently and being an honest person, he is the best among my students. I am not a member of the Communist Party, but I have seen from him what the vanguard and exemplary role of a Communist Party member is. "

Just the day before Deng Lianxian fell ill, his colleagues saw him working with the family members of a SARS patient. In fact, every time in the department, a patient or family member got into trouble. If anyone has an opinion, everyone will ask Secretary Deng to come. After a while, they will see Secretary Deng come out with a smile and say, "It's done."

"Why do patients and family members listen to Secretary Deng's words so much? It's because Secretary Deng always has patients in his heart. He can understand what the patients think and what the family members think. His words often reach the hearts of others, which makes it special to listen to them. It's considerate, but of course it's frustrating. Over the years, the relationship between doctors and patients in the Department of Infectious Diseases has been relatively harmonious, and there has been no complaint to the hospital.

An 11-year-old child was rescued at noon on New Year's Day. , the careful Secretary Deng had already ordered lunch boxes for the doctors and nurses. When the head nurse Wang Qiaofeng talked about these things, she burst into tears: Logically speaking, these are not things that an old leader or expert should do, and it makes Wang Qiaofeng even more embarrassed. It was Secretary Deng who was exhausted both physically and mentally and bought lunch boxes for the parents of the sick children.

Treating patients well is the deepest feeling of the doctors and nurses working around Deng Lianxian. In everyone’s memory, Deng Lianxian. Xian has always treated people equally. In his eyes, patients are both patients and relatives. There is no distinction between rich and poor, high or low, near or far away. In the past, everyone was not well off, and some patients had no money to eat. Deng Lianxian often paid for the meals for the patients. Seeing Secretary Deng do this, many young doctors and nurses around him gradually developed the habit of helping patients in need. For a while, there were more cases of patients in the hospital leaving their bills, and some comrades would murmur when admitting patients. At this time, Deng Lianxian always said "rescue first" and never said anything twice.

Deng Lianxian is kind to people, but he is also very principled and particular about methods. The hospital once had an older trainee doctor who had many personal problems and found it difficult to stay in other departments. Deng Lianxian offered: Come to me. In order to help him, Deng Lianxian and the person in charge of the ward discussed a clever plan to "help and educate", one would be a good person, and the other would be a bad person. Deng Lianxian found a training doctor and asked many questions in succession, but the training doctor could not answer them. Secretary Deng criticized him and then asked others to comfort him and help him. Soon, the training doctor's work attitude improved and his medical level improved, and Deng Lianxian truly became a doctor.

Deng Lianxian's hard-working, diligent and open-minded character is what makes him a doctor. He served as deputy secretary and secretary of the party branch for 26 years. Since he served as deputy secretary of the party branch of the infectious disease department in 1977, he has never forgotten the responsibility of a grassroots party worker. Under his careful leadership, the infectious disease hospital has become a party. The branch has become the most dynamic grassroots party organization in the hospital. Under Secretary Deng’s personal example, the branch has been awarded the title of Advanced Party Branch of the hospital for 13 consecutive years, and he himself has been awarded the title of Advanced Communist Party Member for 13 consecutive years.

As the secretary of the grassroots party branch, Deng Lianxian silently undertakes a lot of administrative work in the largest department in the hospital. When colleagues encounter business problems, they come to him; when young people are wronged at work, they come to him. When couples quarrel and get divorced, they come to him. He always encourages young colleagues to actively move closer to the party organization and hold themselves to higher standards. He is more considerate and considerate of everything when decorating his own home. Over the past few years, he has developed a habit of inspecting the wards of critically ill patients before leaving get off work every day. The "mother-in-law" even has to carefully check the water and electricity safety. He also took the lead in sponsoring the education of 14 poor children in Renhua, Shaoguan in the name of the Infectious Diseases Branch...

Deng Lianxian fell, but in the battle against SARS, he erected a An immortal spiritual monument, his struggle and sacrifice have become a guidepost for his comrades to move forward and avoid greater sacrifice
