On the first anniversary of the outbreak, Dr. Li Wenliang, one of the first two whistleblowers to expose the epidemic, has died and Dr. Ai Fen has lost the sight of his right eye due to an eye disease. Some private citizens launched an online campaign to commemorate the anniversary of the outbreak, but the official authorities were on the verge of a major attack, putting pressure on all parties involved, including Ai Fen, to maintain stability.
Li Wenliang and Ai Fen, two doctors who were the first to warn of the epidemic, were each suppressed by the authorities to maintain stability, and a year later, their situation and that of their families is still a concern.
Ms. Liu, who works for the Hubei Provincial health Care Commission, told this reporter that Dr. Li Wenliang, who died after contracting the epidemic, his relatives and Ai Fen, the head of the emergency department at Wuhan Central Hospital, are still being stabilized. Li Wenliang’s widow has returned to her hometown with her two children to live a difficult life, and Li’s parents have not yet been able to overcome their grief. But now they are officially prohibited from speaking out.
Ms. Liu pointed out that on Wednesday (30) morning, a public number called Erxiang published an article about commemorating the first anniversary of Li Wenliang’s whistle blowing, for which Wuhan was highly nervous and pressured at every level. Ai Fen was also warned and threatened by Wang Weihua, party secretary of Wuhan Central Hospital, who took office in August, for receiving a door-to-door interview with the self-publisher, who then asked her not to speak out and even to come forward to delete the article in question.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. You have no way to theorize with these people. Every day a little something she said, this is a sensitive period, can not write these things to the hospital impact ah. She just can’t mention the past, mention it is you violate the principles of the party. If you don’t make some summary of your past experience, how can you guarantee that you won’t make similar mistakes in the future? Just don’t let you speak, you can only sing praises.
Ms. Liu revealed that Li Wenliang work of the central hospital due to the epidemic, the ophthalmology department to stop operating, but also as a doctor sentinel Efen, eye disease in May this year can only go to a private hospital, resulting in misdiagnosis, 2 months ago the right eye has been blinded. No one in the hospital dares to speak out publicly.
Our reporter contacted Ai Fen herself, who said she was not at liberty to speak, but she confirmed that her eye was indeed misdiagnosed resulting in blindness and she is currently unable to work.
Ai Fen, the head of the emergency department of Wuhan Central Hospital, who is known as the sentinel of the new crown epidemic, is now also a key target of stability maintenance.
Ai Fen said: I thought I was nearsighted and ran to see a doctor. The public hospital is very troublesome to see a doctor, our hospital ophthalmology and three people died. It just so happens that the hospital is Hubei Aier, a very large specialist hospital, and they did not give me a serious look, they just said I had cataracts, and then replaced a 30,000 very advanced crystal. After that, I told them that I still couldn’t see clearly, and they didn’t pay attention to it, and then in October, my retina detached. In fact, the vision loss was caused by a fundus problem, which they didn’t check, in order to make money, because the retina only cost a few dozen dollars.
In addition, a doctor at Wuhan Central Hospital revealed to this station that the passports and Hong Kong and Macau permits of all the doctors in the hospital had been seized, but the authorities did not explain why, but it is believed to be related to stability maintenance.
Our reporter called Wang Weihua, secretary of the Party Committee of Wuhan Central Hospital and also deputy director of the city’s Health Care Commission, for this purpose, but she refused to respond positively to the interview request.
Wang Weihua: Who told you that? What is the last name of this comrade? I’m sorry, whoever says they want to delete it, go ask that person better, OK? Because we have a system for receiving journalists for interviews.
Wuhan City Government also refused to respond.
On December 30 last year, Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital, forwarded a warning about the suspected SARS epidemic to his peers in a group of classmates to remind them to pay attention to protection, and he was quickly admonished by the local police and forced to sign a written pledge.
But just half a month later, the epidemic in Wuhan got out of control and Li Wenliang was hospitalized for being infected and died on Feb. 6. Wuhan Central Hospital was even hit hard, with six medical staff dead and more than 300 infected. But so far, the former party secretary of the hospital, Cai Li, who was accused of serious dereliction of duty, was only removed from her post in August this year.
