Not afraid of test of "baking”, hold on under high temperature
The sun shone like fire. Entering the dog days of Haikou, the outdoor heat waves are rolling. In Changliu Town, Xiuying District, Haikou City, under various nucleic acid sampling sites, simple tent, medical staff from the Hainan Cancer Hospital, Hainan Cheng Mei Hospital were wearing protective clothing, professional masks and medical isolation mask and "counter-seasonal" dress, insisted on nucleic acid sampling in the heating weather.
"During the sampling work, the biggest challenge is the high temperature, thick protective clothing, tight air, wear a few minutes is just like a sauna that makes us all wet.” Our clothes are wet and dry and wet, again and again.” For two consecutive days, Li Juan, a nurse from the Health Management Center of Hainan Chengmei Hospital, volunteered to participate in nucleic acid sampling. She said that every time she took off her thick protective clothing, she was like a "drowned chicken", the clothes on her body could be twisted out water, and the skin of her hands was white and wrinkled with sweat.
You protect my safety, I send you "coolness”
The epidemic has no mercy, but people have feeling. At each nucleic acid sampling site in Changliu site, community workers placed ice cubes and fans to cool down the medical staff. At the same time, hospital leaders will assign additional medical staff to rotate at any time according to the amount of nucleic acid sampling on site, shorten the rotation time, ensure the rest of medical staff, and let nucleic acid sampling have protective strength as well as caring temperature.
You protect my safety, I send you "coolness”. During the nucleic acid sampling, the community residents expressed their gratitude to the medical staff through their own ways, watermelon and drinks, love fruits... Coolness from all directions pouring, warm scenes constantly pouring flash.
"In such a hot day, you have been testing for several days, thank you for your effort!” Looking at the medical staff who gave their samples, the ice around them was about to melt, after collecting the samples, Aunt Liu went home and cut the iced watermelon and sent it to the medical staff who collected the samples one by one.
Thank you so much for your effort!
"Take off your mask, open your mouth, relax... Okay, put your mask on, please.” The whole sampling process takes less than a minute, and this simple action is repeated thousands of times every day by the medical staff who support nucleic acid sampling.
Although it looks simple, the sampling work is the first step of nucleic acid detection, whether the collection of qualified samples may affect the accuracy of the detection, and there should be no slack and sloppiness.
In hot weather, the medical staffs hands are white with sweat, clothes are wet, deep ligature marks wear on their faces, which are their most real state. Looking at them wearing airtight protective clothing like "having a sauna", the residents of each point were also orderly waiting for sampling, and the scene was in order.
"Thank you! You worked so hard!” Wu Haiqiao, a nurse at Hainan Cancer Hospital, said that this was the most common sentence she heard in every mission, which was brief and simple, but it is the most sincere expression of emotion. Every time this moment occurs, their heart feels particularly touched, and they would forget their fatigue.
There are no heroes who landing from the sky, but only ordinary people who come forward! In this support of nucleic acid sampling, medical staff from Hainan Cancer Hospital and Hainan Chengmei Hospital actively participated, and the two hospitals make efforts jointly including all staff from the director of the department and the head nurse to every nurse and doctor. They either stayed until the early hours of the morning or braved the scorching sun to successfully complete the 10-day support sampling mission.
