In April 2020, as they were both enthusiastically preparing for the wedding, the COVID-19 epidemic suddenly struck. Both decided to postpone the wedding and go together to the front to fight the epidemic. Although a little “disappointed” a little, but then they both regained their spirits and encouraged each other to make an appointment “full of joy” when the translation was delayed.
“Working in the medical industry, we anticipated the advance of the epidemic and decided to leave the wedding. It was like a challenge that made us understand and respect each other better,” Thanh Be said. Youth.
The wedding is postponed, the two embark on a real “battle” because, at the moment, patients with severe COVID-19 infection need treatment. Especially among them is patient 91 (British pilot).
At the hospital, Can and Xuan play an important role in the care and treatment of infected patients.

During the peak of “anti-epidemic as anti-enemy”, many informants joked that good plans had never been “frozen” for so long and the “post-translation promise” had never been promised so much. so.
As the young doctor Phan Minh Phuong (30 years old, Municipal Hospital for Tropical Diseases) says, on call for a month in the treatment areas on “hot” days, that he “likes all kinds of things,” is people watching. . come and go, draw pictures, play the guitar, look at the river, see flowers …

Dive into the heart of translation
When Da Nang became an epidemic heart, hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City such as People’s 115, Gia Dinh People, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and Thu Duc District Hospital simultaneously sent experienced medical personnel to provide help against the epidemic.
Just days after successfully treating Patient 91, Dr. Tran Thanh Linh, Deputy Department of Emergency Resuscitation at Cho Ray Hospital, along with nearly 20 colleagues divided into several rapid waves to rush into the heart of the Da epidemic. . Nang.
“More than ever, this is the time when sick people need medical personnel, so we take all dangers lightly. Before I left, I made a promise to my heart: save the patient’s life, when the rest is over. new translation, “shared Dr. Linh.
With Dr. Linh, the first translation he underwent was fierce, but nothing compared to the second, but the translation moved Da Nang’s name. This time it’s not a 91 patient, but a bunch of “91 patients” like that.
The battle raged constantly, rarely when he and his co-workers fully rested, sometimes getting lost due to the disappearance of an old woman, wife and son. Or like the story of Dr. Huynh Quang Dai (Cho Ray Hospital) suddenly heard that his father had a heart attack while on duty for COVID-19 infected patients in Quang Nam. Heart like fire but I can’t go back …
“More than ever, this is the time when the patient needs medical personnel, so all the dangers that we take very lightly, we consider as part of the profession. It’s already karma, in this epidemic, I think not Any doctor, any medical staff cannot leave the patient, “Dr. Linh shared more about the days my colleagues and I were together against COVID-19.
To this day, when the translation was basically under control, meeting again in Saigon, all the doctors and physicians said they were proud of their small contributions in the historic war against COVID-19.

Doctor CKII Nguyen Tri Thuc
What makes me feel the most is that under the leadership of the Government and the Ministry of Health, all the people come together to fight the epidemic under a single banner that is: “National Steering Committee.” In my opinion, this was the decisive factor for the success of the “war” against the COVID-19 epidemic.
Cho Ray Hospital is honored to initially trust and successfully treat three COVID-19 cases, especially Chinese father and son (the first infection in Vietnam) and patient 91 (the most serious infection in Vietnam). At that time). And when the second epidemic broke out in Da Nang, we spent 7 times in the hospital with nearly 20 medical staff treating COVID-19 infected patients with the “End of the new epidemic” mentality.
Along with the entire country, the hospital staff has left all their own beliefs in “war” with great determination. They are always ready to wait for orders, they leave happy without hesitation.

Tasks to perform in case of outbreaks

During the epidemic, it is wonderful that people come together, support each other because the only goal is to fight the epidemic. And I am deeply moved that all parts of society have given special affection to the forces against the epidemic, especially medical personnel. That is the great spiritual force that helps us not to feel alone anymore, to work hard to fight the epidemic.
Doctor Nguyen Duy Long (Director of the Emergency Center 115, HCMC):
Stress in the transport of quarantined people
Doctor Nguyen Duy Long
When the COVID-19 epidemic broke out with an increase in the number of isolations, pressure exerted on the health system, including emergency aid 115. In addition to the emergency ambulatory mission, we had to make efforts to transport cases. are symptomatic (high risk of COVID-19 infection) from the airport area to concentrated quarantine areas and from quarantine areas to hospitals. From operator to transport operator, they hardly have time for themselves and face a very high risk of infection.
However, thanks to the encouragement and support in material, machinery, equipment, protection, basic needs of departments, branches, organizations and individuals, everyone is confident of overcoming all obstacles. I especially thank the newspaper Youth held the program “Together Youth anti-epidemic COVID-19. “That is what encourages us a lot.
