Tianhe City.
There was no festive atmosphere on New Year''s Eve, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
The CT room of a large class III hospital was busy.
All outpatients, emergency departments, inpatients and critically ill patients rush to have an examination, and they have become the forefront from the auxiliary department.
Although we still keep a little distance from patients and their families, like the crowded emergency department, which is always full of beds and doesn''t even have a ventilator, we contact countless pneumonia patients every day.
Wang Ping, a chief physician of imaging, is reviewing films in the film reading room.
Although there is no need to wear protective clothing in the operation room, the film review work is relatively easier. But the white chest CT, I feel dizzy and heavy.
In fact, in Wang Ping''s opinion, most of the films are not good at all.
The white lung, the large ground glass shadow and the exudation deposited in the lung like flocs can only indicate one thing - this new pneumonia is far more serious than expected.
On duty on New Year''s Eve, Wang Ping squatted in the film reading room and watched more than 300 similar images on the computer.
When issuing the diagnosis report, Wang Ping knew that the clinician would not read it at all, but he still corrected it word by word.
One night, that''s it.
At 8:30 on the morning of the new year''s day, Wang Ping collapsed in his chair, but he didn''t want to sleep.
At this moment, Wang Pingge is sober.
"Lao Wang, go home." the doctor who came to take over said listlessly, "do you dare to go home?"
"No." Wang Ping said honestly, "I''ve found a marching bed. We''ll make do with it together in the duty room today."
"Cut, you old man will make do with me!" said the succeeding doctor contemptuously, "change a girl."
"Don''t dream, just your old waist."
"It''s not pleasant to look at." the doctor on duty was a little better after driving. "It''s better than snoring."
"I''m not going home," said Wang Ping with a sigh. "I don''t dare. Although we''re not in the operation room, our room is so big and there are too many people outside."
The successor doctor also sighed. He reluctantly came to work after spending the new year with his family. When he came to the hospital, he was not ready to go back. He ate and lived in the hospital, so as not to bring the virus to his family.
But there is only one duty room with an upper and lower berth. Where can too many people live.
"What about dinner?"
"Who knows, if you can''t, make instant noodles." Wang Ping said, "if you''re not used to my snoring, you''ll go home and I''ll be on duty myself. I''ll earn 200 yuan a day during the Chinese New Year."
"Fuck off!"
They chatted casually, and the successor doctor soon began to sit down and read the film.
"Lao Wang, you said that this big white lung is really similar to the s virus in 2003."
"Well," Wang Pingtan sat in his chair, "I thought about it all night yesterday."
"What do you think? What happened in 2003?"
"No," Wang Ping said, "there is a problem with the clinical determination standard and the detection time is too long. I am going to report to the director and suggest that the diagnostic standard be modified into CT image."
"Stop it," said the succeeding doctor. "The hospital can''t accommodate so many people at all. Huoshen mountain has begun to be repaired in order to treat severe patients. But a hospital has 1000 beds. It feels a lot at ordinary times. Now it''s a drop in the bucket."
As he spoke, the successor doctor took a look at the crowd outside.
"That''s it. Do you think it can be used?"
"Alas." Wang Ping sighed again.
In recent days, sighing has become a habit.
If you don''t sigh, you will always feel stuffy in your chest. Wang Ping even wanted to ask the clinic to borrow a portable blood oxygen clip to see if his blood oxygen was low.
But I don''t have anything extra to lend myself.
"The confirmed patients can''t live. There''s no way," said the successor doctor. "Now the best way is to have a fever and rest at home. Coming to the hospital can only increase the chance of infection."
"I think you''re right," said Wang Ping, "but everyone panicked. In 2003, the mild patients were at home and the severe patients went to Xiaotangshan. That''s what emperor did. Isn''t it all right? Now it''s better to seal the city. Everyone has claws. I don''t know what to do."
"I haven''t seen so many patients in my life." the next doctor talked, looked at the video and said a few words. His depressed mood can get better. Otherwise, if you fall a stone on your chest, I''m afraid you''ll collapse if you don''t persist for a few days.
"Who knows, let''s walk and see." Wang Ping said, "I heard that there will be a meeting today. It is said that a Huoshen Mountain hospital is not enough. It seems that another hospital will be built."
The successor doctor didn''t speak, just looked at the patients and their families waiting for CT outside.
The hall was crowded with people, like the railway station during the Spring Festival transportation.
What''s worse than the Spring Festival transportation is that many people who come to CT can''t stand stably, and some are sitting against the wall with drops. On the wall is a hook temporarily attached by the head nurse, which can be barely used as a drip rack.
The atmosphere of the whole hall was suppressed to the extreme, and fear spread like a virus in the crowd.
Build another hospital... Even if it is the fastest, it will take a week, as was the case in Xiaotangshan in 2003.
I hope so.
"Last night, the military doctor came." Wang Ping finally said an exciting news. "It is said that a support team from the magic capital has also arrived."
"Where''s the imperial capital?"
"It is said that the team of Peking Union Medical College and Peking Medical College will arrive in the afternoon and go directly to the hospital area of Sino French new town. The transformation has begun, and the whole hospital area has become a serious hospital."
"It would be nice if all the critically ill patients could be treated. I heard that the 120 first aid was exploded. It can''t be received at all. The onset is severe. It''s really strange."
"I can''t help it. Now the 120 first aid people have red eyes, and the list has been waiting for at least 3-6 hours. It is said that the number of medical staff per 100000 people in Tianhe ranks among the top in the country. How can we do this?" Wang Ping said depressed.
"Plus the support people... Now we have to come to at least thousands of doctors and nurses."
"At least, and they are all major in severe, respiratory and emergency. If this doesn''t work, what do you say?"
"It''s impossible." the successor doctor cheered himself up. "The national team is coming. I think we can develop in a good direction in three or five days."
He said what he didn''t believe. There were a lot of people outside. No one would expect how things would go.
Both Wang Ping and the successor doctors vaguely felt that the virus this time seemed to be more serious than the s virus in 2003.
But what happened in 2003 is the limit of their experience from the doctor''s career, which is more serious than that? This is beyond their imagination.

Note: at the beginning, the situation in 2003 was already the limit of imagination.
