Under the epidemic, who is defending our health?

In addition to the laborious medical staff, those medical staff who detect nucleic acids for the people on the front line are also using sweat to build an invisible “Great Wall” for us.

This is the “Great Wall” closest to ordinary people.

The microscopic story in this issue tells the story of the front-line inspectors: when they are present, the viruses hidden around us will be discovered as soon as possible, and the normal rhythm of life can be guaranteed, but with protective clothing and masks, We can’t even see their faces, or their clothes soaked in sweat.

They deserve to be seen and thanked.

The following is a true story from the frontline staff of nucleic acid sampling:

Wear heat-resistant protective clothing for 12 hours and almost heatstroke, Daily income of 300 yuan

Chen Shasha | 28 years old | Nurse in Private Stomatological Hospital

Now nucleic acid testing part-time nurse

The Department of Stomatology is a high-risk department of virus transmission. After the outbreak, the stomatology departments of major hospitals have been closed, and our stomatology hospital has also closed.

Two weeks ago, my friend recommended me to do a part-time job of nucleic acid testing. This job requires high professionalism, and I am a nurse.

My previous job status has always been on duty every two days, and I have just been reduced in salary. So when I heard a friend say that I can earn 1,000 yuan a day for a nucleic acid test, I was still very excited.

I wanted to promise, butWhen my boyfriend heard that the group tested was a resident near Xinfa, he would not let me take this job.

He thought it was too dangerous. At that time, the new epidemic situation just broke out, and the surrounding areas were upgraded to high-risk areas.

We have been arguing about this for a week. This matter was also the bounden duty of medical staff. Now that there is a shortage of medical staff, I should come out to help.

Of course, on the other hand, I do have tight money on hand. A daily salary of 1,000 yuan can help me ease the pressure on my mortgage.

In the end, he still couldn’t stop me, watching me call my friend’s phone.

But my friend replied that the daily salary has dropped from 1,000 yuan to 300 yuan. Before, people were in a hurry and the places they went to were dangerous, so the pay was high, and now it has been changed to 300 yuan a day.

My boyfriend thought I would refuse money, but I agreed directly on the phone.

My friend’s company also hired many nurses like me to work part-time, divided into two groups (primary and secondary) to go to the enterprise or community for outsourcing.

The assistant picker is responsible for checking the recipient’s information, and pasting the barcode with the information on the corresponding test tube; the master uses a long cotton swab to sample the recipient’s throat, and puts the cotton swab with the specimen into the corresponding test tube.

Finally, the assistant will cover the test tubes and arrange them in order, even if the sampling is completed.

It looks simple, but the actual operation is still quite hard.

The most difficult thing is heat. From 9 am to 5 pm, we need to wear airtight protective clothing all the time. If there are more people catching up with the collection, you often need to work overtime, and postponing 2-3 hours off work is also a common thing.

Therefore, every time you send someone back, the car also needs to be disinfected. If there are many people sampling on this day, we have to wait at the scene for how many nights.

Medical waste generated during the morning collection needs to be pulled back for centralized processing and disinfection

If I met the picking out of two locations in the afternoon and afternoon, I would have no time for lunch.

When a diagnosis is made in a new place, a maximum of 3,000 people will be sampled a day, and it will be at 12 am after sampling.

When I bring people and specimens back, sterilize the car, I get home at 2 am, and after 3 hours of sleep, I should get up and go.

I’m tired, I don’t have any complaints. Everyone is working hard to fight the epidemic. Our hard work can get the safety of the city, which is really nothing.
