This night must have been incomparably long.

Bai Xia, the head nurse of the fifth department of gastroenterology in the outpatient area, recalled the tension last night.

On the first floor of the outpatient building, dozens of cleaning and security personnel are collecting clutter. Climbing up the stairs, several medical staff gathered on the second floor. "We started a backup pill in time for critically ill and hypoglycemic rescue patients, but now there is no stock available – it won't last for two days." Bai Xia's inner anxiety was obvious.
"More than 20 patients were discharged from the hospital today, and there are still more than 70 patients." Wang Zhengbin, director of the emergency department, said that more than a dozen mild patients who could have been discharged from the hospital could not leave due to communication and traffic paralysis. He brought some food from home, "barely keeping everyone from panicking." ”

The largest number of inpatients is in the 2nd inpatient building, the highest ward is on the 24th floor, and the orthopedic department is on the 20th floor. The elevator is paralyzed, causing great inconvenience to these patients and their families. According to a doctor, in order to ensure the rights and interests of patients, many wards give priority to limited water and electricity resources for their use. "We drink water and eat, and we basically carry it up on our own."
Reporters and medical staff carried 3 boxes of mineral water and 2 boxes of convenient noodles upstairs. Along the way, the corridors are dark, and patients, families and medical staff up and down open their mobile phones to illuminate, step by step, and move forward with difficulty. Although everyone was tired and sweating, everyone did not complain too much, and took the initiative to leave a passage for the "retrogrades" who went upstairs, and the people who went downstairs also spontaneously organized and lined up to go downstairs in an orderly manner.
"Orthopedic patients are very special, and most of them can't move on their own. Yesterday, when the power was cut off, we carried the postoperative patient from the 3rd floor operating room back to the 20th floor ward. Wiping a handful of sweat, the paramedic continued to walk up.

Under the coordination of the Henan Provincial Health Commission and other relevant parties, ambulances from cities and sister hospitals throughout the province, even buses and private cars, have joined the transfer team. In accordance with the instructions of the security personnel, the patients and their families in the hospital waited for the car to transfer to the hospital in an orderly manner.
