Doctors on the frontlines share their experiences battling coronavirus
Wu Dong, a gastroenterology doctor at the hospital, said during the last five weeks, he was totally devoted in caring patients in ICU.
"The only thing I feel sorry for is that I could not take care of my own family as a father and husband," he said.
Five weeks ago, when he left Beijing for Wuhan, his eight-year-old daughter asked him why he wanted to go to Wuhan, which was a question he could not find answer at that time.
Last week, he had a patient in ICU, a 57-year-old woman who was very sick. The treatment plan was to intubate her and put her on a ventilator, which was the only plan to save her.
Before the ventilation, the patient whispered to Wu in Wuhan dialect, "Doc, I don't want to die. The end of this month is my daughter's wedding day."
"At that moment, I saw that many of my patients are parents too. They love their own kids the same way as I do," Wu said.
"The reason I came to Wuhan is not only about being professional and responsible, it's also about love. I love my daughter, I love my patients, I love my country, and I love mankind."
"As mankind, we are all in this together and we will get through this together," he added.
