In the chaos of the Communist Party’s fight against the new Epidemic that came to light last year, including the severe shortage of medical protection materials on the front lines of the fight against the epidemic across the mainland, the Wuhan Red Society’s warehouse was stacked with donated materials. Now that the epidemic has resurfaced, the chaos in the fight against the epidemic has yet to subside. A frontline medical worker in Jiangsu province recently disclosed her personal experience of the chaos.
Liu Fen (a pseudonym) is a front-line medical worker at a health service center in Jiangsu province. She said that the electronic thermometers they use are still shoddy products purchased by the center’s logistics department during last year’s epidemic.
A health service center in Jiangsu Province front-line medical staff Liu Fen: “basically can not measure the normal temperature to! You have a fever, not a fever, anyway, the measurement is certainly not their own temperature. Not only is it a decoration, but also I waste a lot of human, material and financial resources. Are you not harming people and yourself? If there are really fever patients, is not mixed in?”
Liu Fen said that last year, at the beginning of the epidemic, their unit had sent nurses to use this electronic thermometer, to take the temperature of a community street administrators, the result was that someone measured the temperature of 32 degrees Celsius to. The medical staff of the clinic was scolded by the patients almost every day for the thermometer failure problem. Later, at the strong request of patients, the center’s outpatient pre-screening triage, had to borrow electronic thermometers from other hospitals, although also inaccurate, but at least to measure the patient’s fever, and then they use the mercury thermometer to test again.
Not only that, including Liu Fen, the front-line medical staff, risking their lives, but not protected. The unit training requires that the protective clothing of medical personnel be sterile, clean and hygienic to reduce contamination. The actual situation is that the unit leaders let the medical and nursing staff of the outpatient pre-screening and triage desk work in two shifts, wearing isolation suits in rotation.
Liu Fen: “The person who wore the isolation gown on the last shift, take it off and give it to the next shift to wear, you know it? Or you wear the isolation clothes today, and then wear tomorrow. These isolation clothes are contaminated, after taking off the disinfection and isolation, to be disposed of, how can this (reuse)? (They) said no, that there were no supplies during the epidemic, that supplies were in short supply! When we rehearse we are required to strictly comply, how to how to test right? Oh, when you wear it, you give me the opposite, especially to harm us doctors and nurses, are you good for us or good for the patients? You are not good for either of us! Neither for the patient nor for our medical staff, what do you think you are for?”
According to Liu Fen, the nursing staff went to the office of the Ministry of Logistics to receive protective clothing, and they were not allowed to receive it until they resisted and refused to go on duty, and the Ministry of Logistics only reluctantly gave two isolation suits.
The Chinese Communist Party notified last January that medical personnel involved in the fight against the epidemic would be given a temporary allowance of two to three hundred yuan a day.
However, medical workers around the country have since taken to social media to say that the anti-epidemic subsidies were unfairly paid. Some health care workers even said that they worked 16 hours a day for two months, and not only did they not get paid overtime, but they had to return the subsidies they received.
Liu Fen said that some people in his unit can get the subsidy, some can’t, and some people are secretly taking it. When the phone call, and do not tell what happened, is the attitude of hard to let the office to come.
Liu Fen: “They are scared half to death, are dragging dragging many days before they dare to go over! There is also a colleague, has been afraid to go. Later she went, and when she came back, said to me a thousand dollars. I said what money? The epidemic subsidy money! You said you sneak to give, you can not tell people the epidemic subsidy money you come over to receive it? He did not tell people what happened, people are afraid to go in fear, you know? If there is no fishy thing, directly inform not on the line?”
The atmosphere of Liu Fen is that they rushed to the front line to fight the epidemic, work hard and dangerous, and finally to receive bonuses, overtime pay, but was deducted by the unit.
Liu Fen: “At the end of the money, doctors and nurses are the least, their logistics are higher than ours, you know it? We do things, whether it’s rounding ah, patient Home service ah, diagnosis and care ah all we do, right? The epidemic isolation, prevention and control ah, home isolation are all we do, but finally take the money is not ours!”
According to her, the office director of the unit has never been on the front line to fight the epidemic, nor has he visited the front-line medical staff, yet he was named “front-line representative to fight the epidemic”. Some employees complained to the mayor’s hotline about the unit’s chaos, but they were retaliated against. Not only was the employee’s salary and spiritual civilization award deducted, but her year-end performance award and annual Appraisal might be affected. Witnessing such retaliation against her outspoken colleague, other health care workers were too angry to speak up and could only complain behind her back.
