"It's like my mother-in-law, like a family member, so kind." Li Ruozhi, a ward manager who has worked in the pediatric ward of Tuen Mun Hospital for more than 20 years, has a daily habit of taking care of and caring for young and sick children. There is no need to take care of adult patients, but under the new crown pneumonia epidemic. She met an 87-year-old mother-in-law in the “second-line isolation ward” who originally lived in an elderly home. Seeing her mother-in-law was unhappy because she was eager to talk to her granddaughter on the phone, Li Ruozhi took the initiative to discuss with her granddaughter so that the mother-in-law can "talk to her granddaughter every day." ", "The happiest time for mother-in-law."
After a month in the doctor, the mother-in-law finally recovered and was discharged. She said goodbye, "He wanted to open the door (with the doctor) to hug and shake hands, but the (isolation ward) didn't know what to do. She cried out that she had tears on her face." Li Ruozhi is very grateful, "For many years, an elderly patient may have no life. This mother-in-law is in her 80s and can return to the hospital in a healthy way. I think this scene is really touching."
(New Coronary Pneumonia) For many years of age, the patient may have no life. This mother-in-law is in her 80s and can return to the hospital in a healthy manner. I think this scene is really touching.

The elderly have far more medicines than nurses for young children: Is it safe?
The third wave of the epidemic is severe, and the first-line isolation wards are not adequate for use. Public hospitals need to use modified general wards to receive patients who are recovering steadily.
Tuen Mun Hospital urgently converted the A6 pediatric ward into a "second-line isolation ward" in mid-July. The nurses who worked in the pediatric ward also changed their minds and "joined" the Dirty team to work with internal medicine doctors to take care of patients with new coronary pneumonia.
Li Jiabao, a nurse who has worked in the pediatric ward for 4 years, said bluntly that he only needs to take care of young sick children in his usual job, and he has not been in contact with adult patients for many years. The methods of nursing and medication are very different. When facing patients, he is like a "novice mechanic". They are drug doses. Pediatrics use weight to calculate the drug (portion). It is counted to one digit after the decimal point. However, seeing that the adult (drug) dose is too large, it is very different from usual. I want to recalculate it. Question, (would think) is the mie correct? Is it safe?” During the process, she also came into contact with various antiviral drugs for the first time and learned how to use these drugs.
Li Jiabao bluntly said that he only needs to take care of young sick children in his ordinary work, and he has not been in contact with adult patients for many years. The methods of care and medication are very different.

Helping middle-aged female patients to go to
ICU to understand the condition of her father
Another challenge is to face the patient's long and complicated medical history.
Li Jiabao explained that the oldest pediatric patient is only 18 years old, and the medical history is generally very short, but the new crown patient is older and "may have been to the hospital many times." Nurses need to pay attention to whether the patient has other diseases and pay extra attention before taking medicine.
What impressed her most was a middle-aged female patient who was allowed to be discharged from the hospital and was waiting to go through the formalities. On the same day, she learned that her father, who was also a patient with COVID-19, was in critical condition in the intensive care unit. She was distraught and wanted to visit her father. But because his "quarantine order" has not been lifted, he cannot leave the ward freely.
Seeing that the female patient was in tears with anxiety, Li Jiabao tried to communicate with different departments for her, "I don't want to regret it all my life," and finally arranged for her to go to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) through a special channel to learn about her father's latest condition.

And Li Ruozhi, the ward manager who has worked in the pediatric ward for more than 20 years, can never remember an 87-year-old mother-in-law. “She had done it at the age of 17 (patient case), but she had never done it at the age of 87!” This mother-in-law was diagnosed in the first-line isolation ward. After treatment for about a week, she was transferred to the second-line isolation ward where Li Ruozhi worked.
Li Ruozhi would greet her mother-in-law every morning when she visits the house, "Ask me if I am bored, so can I watch the TV? The mother-in-law only has one request every day, so she asks when she can kill her granddaughter." Proactively discuss with her granddaughter, so that the mother-in-law can communicate with her granddaughter through video every day, "This is the happiest time for the mother-in-law."
Li Ruozhi regards her 87-year-old diagnosed mother-in-law as her grandmother who can be discharged from the hospital, which is both touched and grateful.

Unforgettable mother-in-law "Ho Wei" and the patient in the same room said that he would be discharged
Three weeks later, the mother-in-law recovered and met the discharge standards. However, due to the outbreak of the elderly home where she had lived, she was temporarily unable to pick up her mother-in-law, and her family was unable to take care of her mother-in-law, so she had to "stay" in the hospital again. Frowning.
Fortunately, soon after the daughter-in-law decided to take her mother-in-law home, Li Ruozhi helped her mother-in-law to pack her clothes. The smile of the mother-in-law at that time is still vivid in my mind. A grandmother in her 60s said: "I'm leaving, you work hard, drink tea for the first time!"
A group of doctors escorted the mother-in-law to the reception area at the entrance of the ward, and waved goodbye through the glass door. She didn’t expect her mother-in-law to be willing to take care of them. (Explanation cannot be opened), he yelled that the noodles were in tears." Li Ruozhi, who looked at her mother-in-law like a grandmother, was moved and grateful at the time, "(In the new crown pneumonia) patients with many years of age may have no life, this mother-in-law 80 How old is it to be able to return to the hospital in a healthy way. I think this scene is really touching."
Lang Shizhen, a nurse in internal medicine and geriatrics, has not been in contact with underage patients before, but due to this cooperation, she needs to play with sick children and take them to the bathroom.
Part of the children who were diagnosed with the disease were treated in two separate wards from their families, and they could only wave their hands with each other through the glass. She also needed to calm the emotions of these children.
