Changjiang Daily News (Reporter Liu Xuan correspondent Yuan Jiaxin) Liang Yang and Li Jin, who just finished their wedding on January 12th, originally planned to take a honeymoon trip, but their plans were disrupted by the sudden epidemic. From the beginning of the epidemic, they, both laboratory doctors, have been at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic. "The work is very hard and dangerous. There is only one belief that supports us: complete the test as soon as possible and let the patients receive treatment earlier." On February 16th, the newlyweds said in an interview that when the epidemic ended and Wuhan returned to prosperity, they would make up their honeymoon trip.
Liang Yang is a laboratory doctor at Wuchang Hospital in Wuhan, and her husband is Li Jin, a doctor at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. On January 21, Liang Yang received a notice that his hospital became the second wholesale hot-spot hospital. The two men decisively returned their air tickets, gave up their vacations, and returned to the hospital to stick to their posts.
At that time, the fever clinic of Wuchang Hospital was crowded with patients who came to see a doctor every day. Due to the shortage of nucleic acid kits, patients waiting for the diagnosis of nucleic acid testing line up. Looking at the crumpled laboratory sheets in patients’ hands, Liang Yang and her colleagues looked in their eyes and were anxious.
On January 27th, Wuchang Hospital became the second batch of designated nucleic acid detection hospitals. Under the guidance of Wuhan CDC and the support of Air Force Medical Team, the clinical laboratory began to do nucleic acid detection. "I was really scared at first. I had to face novel coronavirus who didn’t know enough every day. I didn’t know under what circumstances I would be infected. It was a battlefield on the scalp."
As the backbone of the laboratory, Liang Yang needs to do at least 200 cases every day, and at most, he has completed 253 cases a day. Working continuously for nearly 7 hours every day, drinking water is a luxury. Wearing protective clothing for 4 hours will lead to hypoxia, and wearing gloves for a long time will make Liang Yang’s hands covered with red rashes.
"These can also endure, the most afraid of is the body suddenly uncomfortable. Once I had a high fever and a cough, I asked him ‘ What if I get infected? ’ He said, ‘ If you are infected, we will be isolated at home together, and we are not afraid. ’” Speaking of the husband who has been encouraging himself behind his back, Liang Yang instantly became red-eyed. Fortunately, the later inspection results were all normal. Colleagues laughed and called them "drug-playing couples". "Yeah, we deal with such a powerful virus every day." Liang Yang explained with a smile.
