Well, how did my brother know the chief?

February 23rd is the 36th day after COVID-19 was diagnosed by Zhang Changsheng, and the 7th day after he was discharged from hospital. He returned to the front line and completed two "most clumsy" PICC catheterization operations.

Two patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage need catheterization. Armed to the teeth, Zhang Changsheng stood by the bedside, manipulating the B-ultrasound probe in one hand and holding the puncture needle in the other, and moving up and down at the patient's elbow 10 cm. Bend over to get up several times, and the protective clothing and isolation gown both grind out stings. His clothes were all sweaty, and he finally found the best puncture point.

Zhang Changsheng, 32, is a male nurse in the neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU) in wuhan union hospital, and one of the "14 infected medical staff" in the case of human-to-human transmission disclosed by Academician Zhong Nanshan in an interview with CCTV on October 20th.

During the treatment, Zhang Changsheng was "on fire" because of the video interviewed by CCTV. In the video, through the small window of the isolation ward, he made an "OK" gesture and shouted "Come on, you can do it". Therefore, it was called "OK Brother" by netizens.

After his recovery, he returned to the front. He completed two cases of catheterization and tried to find a working condition. Although the closed protective measures and work intensity made him a little "unbearable" for the time being, he believed that putting on protective clothing and returning to the medical staff was the best encouragement for everyone.

ICU nurses recruited by middle school.

Zhang Changsheng experienced four days from symptoms to diagnosis.

65438+ 10/6, when Zhang Changsheng went to work, he was weak all over, as if he had caught a cold. The next day, he began to have a fever, and his temperature reached 38.5℃. Lung CT and blood routine examination showed thickening of lung texture, and other conditions were normal. At that time, there were already cases of unknown pneumonia, and he was lucky enough to treat it as a cold. "If you don't burn it, you will be fine. It should not develop in the worst direction."

He took antipyretics and drank a lot of water, and his temperature slowly dropped, so he went to night shift.

During the night shift, his temperature rose again. On the same day, the hospital organized nucleic acid testing and met colleagues with the same fever. They also teased each other, "Do you have a fever too?"

On the afternoon of June 65438+1October 65438+September, he received a phone call from the nursing department of the hospital. I froze for a few seconds. "I didn't expect to be recruited." In his opinion, except for fever and fatigue, he has no other discomfort symptoms and is in good mental condition.

Holding the mobile phone, he was scared. He can't be sure when he was infected with COVID-19 virus, and he can't be sure whether the virus has spread to his family.

My wife is also a nurse in wuhan union hospital, and she is at work at this time. He said calmly on the phone that the test results were positive and he needed to be hospitalized for some time. He reminded his wife that as a close contact, she needed to be isolated at home for some time. "She's not too worried. We are optimistic. At that time, we all thought that the situation should be fine. "

Zhang Changsheng has been unable to confirm whether he was accidentally "recruited" when nursing patients or was infected when he was in contact with other medical staff in the department.

On October 20th, 65438/kloc-0, Zhong Nanshan disclosed in an interview with CCTV that "14 medical staff were infected and there was interpersonal communication in novel coronavirus, so we should be vigilant". Since then, Zhou Xianwang, the mayor of Wuhan, confirmed that wuhan union hospital was cross-infected by neurosurgical patients, infected 1 doctors and 13 nurses. In media reports, this patient is called "super communicator".

Zhang Changsheng also confirmed that among the 14 people diagnosed with infection, neurosurgical nurses exceeded 10, and the rest were medical staff from other departments of the hospital.

But whether they are all infected by this "super communicator" is still unknown.

"We need to take the patient's temperature several times a day, and if we have a fever, we will definitely report it," Zhang Changsheng said. However, COVID-19 may have an incubation period at first, and routine examination before neurosurgery can't judge whether the patient is infected with COVID-19 virus. "At that time, it was impossible for every patient to have a nucleic acid test to check in."

Zhang Changsheng said that during this period, the protective measures of medical staff in five wards of neurosurgery, including ICU ward, were the same as usual and did not attract special attention. When entering the ward, he needs to wash his hands and put on a disposable surgical mask, hat and gloves. He is one of two nurses who specialize in PICC catheterization in neurosurgery. One day a week, he will perform PICC catheterization for patients, and he will put on isolation gown again during the operation.

Another infected nurse, Xin Li (not her real name), remembers that around June 5438+1October 15, she and many colleagues had symptoms such as fever, cough and fatigue. Department leaders require everyone to wear N95 masks, but because of the shortage of materials, each medical staff only has 1 N95 masks to use when entering the ward every day.

It was not until 65438+1October 18 that the hospital organized more than a dozen symptomatic medical staff to carry out nucleic acid testing that at least 14 medical staff were found to have been "recruited".

"Good brothers" fight the virus

When he was first hospitalized, Zhang Changsheng had almost no uncomfortable symptoms. In the morning, he will walk back and forth in the outer corridor, and colleagues from other wards will also come out for a walk. The sun shone through the window of the outer corridor, and he couldn't help jumping a few times. He thinks that he usually loves sports and has good physical fitness, and he will definitely be discharged soon.

65438+1On the morning of October 23rd, he woke up with a shiver and suddenly felt unable to breathe. He was sweating all over and his mouth was watering involuntarily. He struggled to reach for the oxygen interface beside the bed, pulled it under his nose and took a few breaths to recover.

He has a low fever. After taking the antipyretic, I felt weak all over. I fell asleep in bed, woke up, touched my forehead and body, covered in cold sweat. Take your temperature every time you wake up, with a low fever, about 37.5℃.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and leaned against the bed to make a video call to his family. The first thing his wife said was, "How do you feel?" He replied, "Everything is fine." When parents and daughters saw him smile, they knew that their daughter had stayed at home and never went out once. He was relieved. "My family is very good, and it's okay for me to suffer a little."

The low fever lasted for two days, and he stayed in bed almost all day. Occasionally, he will feel a slight pain in his lungs and start coughing. CT examination of the lung showed patchy fuzzy shadows on the right lung. This is the first time that Zhang Changsheng felt that his body was fighting the virus, just like fighting a war, and the virus temporarily gained the upper hand.

On October 25th, 65438/kloc-0, Zhang Changsheng had a fever and other symptoms improved. He began to walk in the outer corridor again. In the CCTV interview video, he made an "OK" gesture through the small window of the isolation ward and shouted: "Come on, you can do it!" This is what he repeatedly said to himself and his colleagues during his seriously ill days.

After the video was broadcast, Zhang Changsheng was called "OK Brother" by netizens. He began to send a "treatment diary" online, and messages and private messages kept popping up on social platforms, mostly encouraging messages to cheer him up, and many patients from COVID-19 asked for help, and he would reply one by one.

If a patient asks him for help, he will seriously suggest that you must listen to the doctor's advice. They are the people who know your illness best. If a patient with suspected or mild symptoms communicates with him, he will write down the reaction after taking the medicine in detail and list the improvement and side effects one by one; There are also netizens who can't be hospitalized because of the tight beds, and there is helplessness between words. He has no choice but to let them contact the community more.

Sometimes, he will receive feedback from netizens, his condition has improved, and he lives in the hospital. He is also very happy. Without feedback, he dared not ask rashly for fear of getting bad news.

He wants to tell everyone more convincingly when he is discharged from hospital, "The cure rate is still very high if you keep a good attitude and listen to the doctor's good treatment."

The Turn of Life and Death in Happy 3+2 Combination

During the treatment, Zhang Changsheng, Xin Li and three other colleagues with ICU infection in neurosurgery established a WeChat group named "Happy 3+2" to exchange treatment progress in the group.

"He is usually very enthusiastic, and everyone likes to ask him for help." Xin Li said that when they both worked in ICU, the five of them were familiar with each other and often discussed the key points of patient care together. Now, all five of them have become patients, living in two wards separately and encouraging each other.

The nurse in Xin Li ward is very ill. Due to shortness of breath and low oxygen saturation, she had to lie in bed for oxygen therapy. When Zhang Changsheng was walking in the outer corridor, she passed by her ward and cheered them through the window. When he couldn't get out of bed for two days, he shared his illness changes in the group and encouraged them.

When doctors make rounds every day, they will say, eat more, drink more, sleep more, and walk around properly. In order to ensure nutritional intake, colleagues in the department send them chicken soup every day.

Zhang Changsheng was discharged from the penultimate hospital among 14 people. 14128, the first batch of three medical staff were discharged, and on February 2 and 5, two groups of medical staff were discharged, including four other nurses in Happy 3+2 Group.

On February 5, Zhang Changsheng stood in the sunshine on the side of the outer corridor and congratulated five colleagues who were discharged from the hospital. They answered him, "Nothing. You will be discharged in two days. You are fine." He nodded. "I will definitely follow." His symptoms of self-discomfort have basically disappeared, and he is waiting for the results of the second nucleic acid test. If the result is negative, he will be discharged the next day.

On February 6, it was raining lightly on the streets of Wuhan. When Zhang Changsheng was discharged from hospital, he took an inspection bag and a plastic bag filled with toiletries. When he was admitted to hospital, he wore a black down jacket. The hospital car was sent to the gate of the community. He ran all the way to the door, and his wife opened the door with a mask. The two men looked at each other for a few seconds at close range. Without hugging, his wife said, "Come back."

Four colleagues from the Happy 3+2 team congratulated him on leaving the hospital online. They recalled their feelings when they were diagnosed. "I really wanted to cry in those days and was fragile." So far, five people have called each other a friend of life and death. "You will be blessed if you survive."
