Editor's note: They come from different medical positions, but they choose to stand up at the same time, temper their party spirit in the line of fire, and shine in their dedication. On July 1, on the occasion of the 103rd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, a reporter from the People's Daily health client interviewed three medical workers who had joined the party.
"Speed and temperature are not incompatible, they are responsibilities and missions"

I work in the emergency department.
Here, race against time and fight against illness. Doctors race against time, day and night, and even the most ordinary drinking water and meals sometimes become a "luxury" that sees the seams. The slightest delay can result in a patient losing out on a valuable opportunity for treatment. If there is no room for mistakes in the medical industry, then in the emergency department, any slight negligence can become an irreparable regret.
When I first stepped into my post, I also felt overwhelmed by the high pressure and challenges of the emergency department. During the rescue mission of Leishenshan Hospital, party members and comrades set an example and always played a pioneer and exemplary role, just to ensure that patients received timely treatment; It is these examples that have taught me to find motivation under pressure and to implement the party's mass line in every diagnosis and every communication. I began to understand that speed and temperature are not incompatible, they are heavy responsibilities on my shoulders, and they are also my dual mission as a party member doctor.
The deepest memory is that on a winter night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ambulance 120 sent a critically ill patient with acute myocardial infarction. A chest pain center has been set up in the emergency department, and the doctors and nurses immediately activated the chest pain green channel, and the patient successfully turned the crisis into safety. Afterwards, the patient's family members excitedly shook my hand and said with tears in their eyes, "You gave him a second life." "At that moment, all the hard work was worth it.
Today, in the face of the intense pace of work in the emergency department, I am no longer afraid. I've experienced confusion, I've experienced exhaustion, but when I think of the faces that have been reborn because of our efforts, all the hard work becomes insignificant. As a party member, as a doctor, I am proud to be able to stand up and be the light that pierces the darkness when the people need it most.
"It's a patient, it's a family"

I am a general nurse.
Most of the patients here are middle-aged and elderly, from detailed recording of each patient's medical history, monitoring vital signs, to carrying out doctor's orders, administering medications, to assisting doctors in the formulation of treatment and rehabilitation plans...... Every day will be filled with schedules. "I just asked for hot water, why is this water so cold?" When I first started my career in general nursing, I sometimes felt that I was not able to meet the complex and changing needs of middle-aged and elderly patients.
What impressed me deeply was that during the period of aiding Hubei in Leishenshan 4 years ago, there was an old party member head nurse, which is still fresh in my memory. Even though he has been working dozens of hours straight, he still insists on humming a lullaby softly for a young patient who suffers from insomnia due to anxiety about his illness. The sleeping expression seems to say, even if the outside world is stormy, here, there is always us sheltered from the wind and rain.
At that moment, I found the meaning of persevering in the face of hardship, and gradually became an indispensable member of the patient's family from a nurse. By chance, we learned that the patient in the ward was about to celebrate his 90th birthday. Colleagues in the department spontaneously organized themselves and decided to prepare a small birthday surprise for the elderly. We prepared cakes, flowers, and warm birthday decorations. When the birthday came, we gathered around the old man and sang the birthday song, and at that moment, the old man's eyes flashed with tears, which was a surprise and a touch.
From the initial passive acceptance of heavy work, to the deep understanding of the patient's situation, and now to the care of each patient as a family member, this journey has made me deeply realize that nursing work is far more than a technical operation, it is more like an emotional connection. This change has not only benefited the patients, but also allowed me to find a deeper sense of accomplishment and happiness in my nursing journey.
"In the sea of medical care, we are the invisible tides, pushing the ship forward"

Unlike other medical workers who stand in front of the stage, as a member of the planning and operation department, we are not only responsible for medical data reporting, but also the think tank of the entire hospital's strategic planning and the driver of operational efficiency. We are more like the "nervous system" of the hospital, providing scientific basis for the decision-making level of the hospital through accurate data analysis and forward-looking planning, and ensuring the optimal allocation of medical resources.
During the rescue of Leishenshan, as a member of the planning and operation department, I worked with the team to analyze various data such as the consumption rate of medical supplies and the ratio of medical staff in Leishenshan, so as to help the leaders accurately match the actual needs of each decision, so that the limited resources can be maximized. What I remember particularly deeply is that a hospital urgently needs a batch of specific models of ventilators to deal with critically ill patients, and this type of ventilator on the market is not easy to come by. At this critical juncture, the team moved quickly, using data analysis tools to accurately calculate the exact number of ventilators needed based on the hospital's existing patient situation and projected admissions in the coming days.
Soon, with the efforts of all parties, the allocation of the materials was completed. When this precious piece of equipment was delivered to the hospital and directly applied to the treatment of patients, I deeply felt that although the housekeeping work did not directly save lives like the clinical frontline, it was a solid backing to ensure the smooth progress of the treatment work.
The work here may be ordinary or unknown, but it is this day-to-day data processing and planning analysis that carries the silent care for patients. In the sea of medical care, we keep the ship moving forward, ensuring that every force reaches where it is needed most.
