In the isolation ward of Nanyuan Hospital, in the face of the epidemic, a TCM doctor forged ahead, fulfilled his duty, interpreted the responsibility of Party members with action; he practiced, treated the patients with syndrome differentiation, and demonstrated the noble moral character of medical workers with benevolence and skill. He is Chen Changming, a postdoctoral fellow in TCM Oncology Department of Nanyuan Hospital with 13 years of Party experience and a member of the TCM expert group on epidemic prevention and control.
When the crisis came again, he went to the front line to develop Qi Huang's skill. On June 11, when the epidemic in China was basically stable, new local cases emerged in Beijing, and people's nerves that had just been relaxed were suddenly strained again. When Chen Changming, a high-tech talent in traditional Chinese medicine, joined our hospital in April and was about to show his talents, Nanyuan Hospital received an urgent order and was designated as a hospital for Covid-19 high-risk patients.
At 15:00 on 17th, just after the kick-off meeting, hospital leaders received instructions from superiors and the hospital admitted patients at 18:00. At 17:30, Chen Changming received an emergency call from hospital leaders: "Changming, immediately move into the isolation ward and start work!" Chen Changming did not hesitate for half a minute, became the first member of the line of our hospital and rushed to the ward. He made use of the advantages of TCM "preventing diseases before they occur and preventing changes after they have already occurred" to form a core expert group of TCM doctors together with Director Ke Haili and Chief Physician Ma Xiaomei to take charge of TCM diagnosis and treatment in high-risk wards.
As soon as the patient was admitted, he, together with the team of Director Chen Jing, Li Jing, the director of Hospital Infection Department, jointly combed the process of the patient's diagnosis and treatment. After working overnight, he threw himself into the intense battle the second day without a stop.
News of having a baby girl came from thousands of miles away.On June 21, the Father's Day, he was busy in his hospital room when he received a message from his family announcing the birth of his daughter. The unexpected Father's Day "gift" brought him who worked in the front line more regret and guilty.
Chen Changming's wife is a nurse. During the epidemic, she chose to give birth in her hometown in order not to hinder his work. His wife, a medical worker, understood and supported him to go to the front line. Having been in hospital ahead of schedule, she didn't tell him the happy news until the child was born smoothly to avoid disturbing his work. Chen said: "My wife's support and understanding gave me more courage, I'm sorry but I have no regrets about not being there for my wife when she needed me for the birth of my daughter."
The epidemic is ruthless but the world is full of love. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Chen Changming has taken the lead, stationed in the ward to treat patients, assisted the hospital in the prevention and control of the epidemic in every detail, made no complaints or regrets, and fulfilled the pledge of "never disgrace the mission, walk toward the danger and bear the responsibility" with his actions, making the Party flag fly high in the front line of the fight against the epidemic.
