I’m Lei Dongzhu, deputy to the National People’s Congress,Dean of the First People’s Hospital of Chenzhou City, Hunan Province.
The epidemic situation in COVID-19 is fierce,
On January 20,
Our hospital has entered a medical emergency.
Time is pressing,
Within a day, we were established.
Emergency leading group for epidemic prevention and control.
Within 2 days, fever clinics were started in 3 medical areas of the hospital.
At that time, medical protective clothing was not enough.
I spent the night looking for manufacturers,
Strive for protective clothing for medical staff.
In those days, I lay down at 2 am almost every day.
Get up at 4: 00,
Answer countless phone calls and deal with all kinds of emergencies.
There are 15 players in our hospital.
Still fighting in the intensive care unit of Huanggang Hospital.
Under our long-distance communication,
They used ECMO technology for the first time,
Successfully treated a group of COVID-19 patients.
I know this is a protracted war,
It is related to everyone’s life and health.
I dare not slack off.
In July 1991,I was assigned to work in the First People’s Hospital of Chenzhou City.
At the age of 23, I chose obstetrics and gynecology.
I think, hearing the loud cry of new life,
This should be my most fulfilling moment.
The once-in-a-century ice disaster in 2008,
It brought me into the public eye.
It was a rare low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disaster.
Power failure! The water supply is interrupted!
Traffic is interrupted! Communication is interrupted!
Chenzhou, the hardest hit area at that time,
It’s freezing,
Many pregnant women with big bellies poured into obstetrics,
I work more than 17 hours a day.
On the morning of January 31, 2008,
A pregnant woman infected with syphilis who just left the hospital.
Re-emergency admission.
After the baby is born,
Pale, no crying.
At this time, the power went out suddenly, and the electric sputum aspirator could not be used.
Looking at the dying little life,
I didn’t have time to think about it,
Quickly bend over to suck amniotic fluid for the newborn,
And give it mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.
There is too much amniotic fluid,
It sucked into my mouth and choked into my throat.
At that time, I only had one thought, that is, to save the child!
Finally the child was saved, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To prevent syphilis,
I have been injected with benzathine penicillin for a whole month.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope in life,
You will never give up easily. "
I think, as long as I’m in obstetrics,
We must keep this promise.
It was in that maternity ward with only 49 beds,
In 12 days, we welcomed 222 "ice babies".
Created a miracle of life,
I am also known as "doctor mother".
Life-cycle health servicesIs the starting point of our major,
The birthplace of life is in our obstetrics department.
After all these years as a doctor,
I have witnessed the tragedy of too many families with defective children.
Genetic diseases can be prevented, but they are difficult to treat.
Suffer from chromosomal diseases
If a child with structural deformity is born,
The treatment fee for each child will exceed one million yuan.
This family will also be poor due to illness.
I think I must do something about it.
In 2018, I proposed health and poverty alleviation prevention first.
Suggestions on further promoting citizens’ premarital examination according to law.
Strengthen the intervention of birth defects to avoid poverty caused by illness.
This is the sixth year that I have called for attention.
Prevention and treatment of birth defects.
Under my persistent appeal,
The two districts of Beihu and Suxian in Chenzhou City were fully launched.
Free non-invasive prenatal fetal DNA testing,
Interventional prenatal diagnosis
And thalassemia genetic testing project.
In 2019, I proposed again
Suggestions on prevention and treatment of rare diseases,
Because rare diseases involve heredity, children,
Adults and other disciplines,
Many doctors have limited knowledge about this.
Therefore, there are high misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
Patients often go to several hospitals and cannot be diagnosed.
I propose to attach importance to tertiary prevention of rare diseases,
Change passive diagnosis into active prevention.
The child’s defects,
Behind it are the hidden injuries of families.
The prevention and control of birth defects has a long way to go.
Especially after the "two-child" policy is fully liberalized,
We have to make more efforts,
Let more babies be born safely.
This year I brought these suggestions:
Recommendation 1:
Accelerate the construction of "popularization of settings and specialization of teams" in the Department of Critical Care Medicine, and establish a public emergency medical center with the emergency department and the Department of Critical Care Medicine as the backbone to protect people’s lives.
Recommendation 2:
Led by the government, with the participation of finance, civil affairs, social security, health care and other departments, we will integrate medical and social resources, guide public hospitals to actively invest in the cause of old-age care, accelerate the high-quality development of the public welfare medical and nursing industry, and help build a healthy China.
Recommendation 3:
Strengthen the construction of grass-roots public health emergency management system. Construct a timely and accurate monitoring and early warning information system. Cultivate high-quality emergency teams and do a good job in emergency training. Strengthen the construction of emergency medical rescue bases. Revise and improve relevant laws and regulations.
This year’s nurses’ day,The general secretary pointed out that after the COVID-19 outbreak,
The vast number of nurses went out without hesitation and went retrograde.
White clothes carry armor and do not bear great trust.
Bravely and fearlessly rushed to home and abroad.
The front line of the epidemic prevention and control struggle,
In order to win the China epidemic prevention and control war,
Ensure the safety of people in all countries.
And make important contributions to health,
Practiced it with practical actions
Respect life, heal the wounded and rescue the dying,
The lofty spirit of dedication and boundless love.
In this epidemic test,
Young medical staff have touched me too much.
On February 11th, our hospital was informed that,
15 medical staff need to be sent to Wuhan for support.
In just two hours,
256 medical staff signed up,
I was moved to tears.
I suddenly realized,
In my eyes, these once immature children,
Grow up in an instant,
They can stand up and join.
Protect the health of ordinary people,
The ranks of life safety.
Doctors are a sacred profession,
The happiness it brings us is irreplaceable.
Life is supreme,
What we can do is to save lives with peace of mind.
I look forward to more young people joining the medical profession.
Try to be a good doctor to save lives.
Winter bamboo is like bamboo in winter.Even if it’s freezing,
Also stick to the original heart of the doctor.
Always be a doctor close to patients,
Commitment is gold, to be a good doctor;
Be a good dean by honoring promises and keeping promises;
Keep your word and be a good representative.
Today’s Lei Dongzhu,
Represents the hopes and expectations of more people,
Her life path,
Destined to walk with the times.
