Chapter 15 Quick Response

The old children are talking about this kind of elderly people. They have no control over the status quo, lack the ability to understand the status quo, and are also a little nervous and uneasy. In the past, they still had family members to rely on at home. But after I arrived at the ICU, physical illnesses combined with mental tension. Their uneasiness became more and more serious as they were hospitalized and witnessed the ICU rescue.

When you are lying on the hospital bed with difficulty breathing, and watching the doctors working to rescue another patient with a situation similar to you, it is impossible not to be nervous.

When rescue failed and a white order covered the entire bed, the nervous feeling would rise to an unprecedented level. When the fear of death reached its limit, people would make a decision to "fight or run away".

This decision can be manifested as aggressiveness or turning around and running away in biological behavior. However, on the hospital bed of ICU, patients who can't even breathe have no room to escape.

"Hard beasts still fight" is about the current situation. Anyone with a little experience in dealing with animals will know that animals with no way out will basically choose to attack the enemy crazily. Although humans are not just animals, this rule is applicable. According to Zhang Zhifu, in the month when the ICU in Yunhe City Infectious Disease Hospital was running, there have been two cases where patients tried to bite the nurse's hand and cursed at the medical staff.

Such an incident is of course a huge mental blow to medical staff. No one can stand this matter - we risk being infected and leave our family and business to the front line, regardless of life and death, regardless of reward, and do our best to treat patients... But they don't appreciate it at all, and they even call you a bastard, and even try to bite your fingers with their own teeth.

Who can stand this?

But the more you are, the more you have to grit your teeth and persevere. Yes, working at ICU is very hard and tiring. Yes, it feels very uncomfortable to be scolded by the patient here.

But... who can feel comfortable? Those patients who lie on the bed and breathe hard, when they feel their lives swaying like a candle in the wind, when they leave their family, stay alone in this room where death is everywhere, and even no one can talk, when they hear that the old brother on the bed next door infected their whole family, their wife died, their son died, their daughter was seriously ill, and their granddaughter didn't know where they were... Can they feel comfortable?

The pain and pain in their hearts... are afraid they are even worse than that of medical staff. The invisible but tangible pain even makes people unable to live a trace of hatred for them. In addition to their grievances, doctors and nurses are more sympathetic to them.

Because of this virus, I don’t know how many families will be broken. They are not even sure whether their life will continue after curing the patient... or will they say goodbye to their previous life completely.

There is only one way to answer this question - let time answer everything. As doctors, all they can do in ICU is to try to save the lives of the patients and then let them face the ups and downs of the future with a relatively healthy body.

"Psychological intervention on patients and medical staff is imminent." After a whole day of busy work, Sun Lien returned to the hotel with his almost exhausted body and a smoking voice. After sitting in the seat, the first thing he did was to turn on his laptop and start writing a report. There was no way. Although the status bar could indicate that nearly 80% of the patients with ICU had anxiety symptoms, he was not a psychologist. Sun Lien even felt that he was almost suffering from psychological problems.

Without the help of sleeping pills, he could hardly sleep all night. Even if he used sleeping pills, he was still tired and could hardly get out of bed when he woke up the next morning. In the medical team, there were no fewer people with similar situations. Basically, after getting up in the morning, Sun Lien could see a dense reminder of "fatigue" and "deficiency of sleep".

Traditional intervention methods are useless - whether it is asking hotels to play soothing music, reducing the brightness of the lights, or even providing each room with a cup of hot milk, distributing disinfectant and bathtub diaphragm for everyone to take a bath... These methods are useless at all. There are more and more doctors in a state of fatigue, and every morning the coffee machines on the hotel buffet bar are in line.

In addition to the situation of the patients in the ICU I saw today, Sun Lien learned from his mistakes and decided to report the problems to the superior department, asking them to assign professional knowledge and strength psychologists to intervene in the patients and medical staff as soon as possible.

Now is the most tense time to fight the epidemic. Although the situation seems good, minor mistakes on any front may be expanded into unacceptable huge losses. Sun Lien felt that he could not solve the problem, so asking for help from his superiors became the most appropriate solution.

"Director Sun, I've read your report." Two hours later, a strange phone called Sun Lien out of the bathtub. The phone was a very strange male voice, which sounded hoarse. But on the phone, the gay male voice sounded a little excited, "The idea you mentioned is very good and it is indeed very important."

"Are you..." Sun Lien asked in confusion, "Sorry, I've answered too many calls recently, I really can't tell who you are."

"I am from the Planning Department of the National Health Commission and have not spoken to you before." The person on the other end of the phone said, "I have a few questions about your suggestions and I want to confirm with you."

It's 11:40 pm now, and it's 20 minutes to February 6th.

"Leishen Mountain and the Fangcang Hospital have been put into use, and the treatment problem should be basically solved now." On the phone, the staff member of the National Health Commission from the capital asked bluntly, "In terms of your intuitive feeling, is it more important to solve the psychological pressure of doctors, or is it more urgent to intervene in severe and critical patients first?"

"It must be a patient." Sun Lien answered without hesitation, "Doctors came from all over the country to support them. To put it bluntly, even if there are major psychological problems with medical staff, the national medical system is our backing and support. Removing the collapsed doctors and nurses and letting the new medical team take over - this is not difficult in the actual operation. But we cannot replace the psychologically broken patients. If these patients solve the psychological problems, they will cooperate with the treatment, and the psychological conditions of the doctors and nurses will also improve."

"We will allocate local psychologists in Yunhe as soon as possible, but the number of people may not be enough." Qualified psychologists who can be pulled to the front line at this time are rarer than doctors who can perform fourth-level surgery. The staff member of the National Health Commission was also a little helpless, "I will report your reaction immediately. According to our current work process, we will study and decide on specific solutions within 12 hours, and start implementing them within 16 hours." The staff member coughed twice, and then said seriously, "The suggestions you made by Director Sun are very important. We must attach great importance to them and complete the research and implementation process of relevant measures as soon as possible. You and other medical workers have worked hard on Yunhe's front line. Please take care of yourself."
