Hong Kong’s medical staff have always been working hard, and they are even more overwhelmed by the new crown pneumonia epidemic. However, as a nurse, Chen Kaijian (Rod) seems to be full of “electricity” at all times, sticking to different anti-epidemic positions to save people. In an exclusive interview with the “Sky Post”, he said that he joined the Dirty Team at the beginning of the epidemic and moved out of the home where he grew up in order to avoid increasing the risk of infection to his family. To support the front line, I even tried to work for 17 hours in a row. However, he never said that he was tired, and he was grateful for his ability to save the emergency, and believed that there would be a light at the end of adversity.

Rod, 37, is a full-time registered nurse and a member of the AMS. He has been with the AMS for 21 years. He revealed that he wanted to join the uniform team in junior high school. He enrolled in an adult first aid class when he was 16 years old. The course made him more interested in first aid. After discussing with his mother, he obtained her consent and applied to join the Auxiliary Medical Team at the age of 16 and a half.
Joined the SARS anti-epidemic team at the age of 18
About 2 years after joining the team, Rod encountered SARS in 2003, and the whole city fell into panic. He said that he was still an ignorant teenager at the time, and he joined the SARS anti-epidemic team “with a word of courage in his heart”, and has been to the front lines of Amoy Gardens and Lady MacLehose Resort to provide assistance. He described his anti-epidemic work as an unforgettable one in his life. At that time, Amoy Gardens was the hardest-hit area of the epidemic, and residents had to stay in isolation camps. He saw the residents’ expressions of panic. After being rational, they unintentionally angered the medical staff,
“If you’re in uniform, no matter what the problem, they’ll yell at you. But we all understand that because they don’t know if they have germs. But on the last day of quarantine, they know they can leave the camp and go home and see their faces. There was a 180-degree change from the original, and they thanked us very happily. In fact, their simple words of “hard work” and “hard work” have given us a great boost.”

Abandoning the promotion of nurse qualifications and staying in the house
Working on the frontline of the Auxiliary Medical Service gave Rod a longing for the medical care industry, and finally successfully obtained the qualification of registered nurse. He said that nurses have to work hard every day to take care of patients. However, he never thought of quitting the Auxiliary Medical Service, nor did he accept being promoted to a director-level position because he was a full-time registered nurse and had a certain seniority. Instead, he refused to enjoy the “sit-up” job and additional allowances and chose to stay on the front line. take care of the wounded,
“The Auxiliary Medical Service is the frontline. Going out of the street to support different departments or help the public can also reduce their chances of being admitted to the hospital; the duties of nurses are mainly to help the disadvantaged or the sick in the hospital, and these experiences have helped me to teach others Players, so the two complement each other and not complement each other.”

Stepping on for 17 hours without saying tired, feeling sacrifice and reuniting with family
Rod, who is keen on medical work, also chose to be at the forefront of saving people under the new crown pneumonia epidemic. He not only joined the Dirty Team of the hospital to assist in the fight against the epidemic, but also went to the auxiliary medical team on duty after get off work. He revealed that he tried to go to work at the hospital at 7:00 in the morning. He learned that there was an emergency evacuation from the hospital that day. He rushed back to the headquarters after get off work at 4:00 p.m. The emergency evacuation started at 8:00 p.m. For up to 17 hours, I also tried to be laughed at by friends and said, “I grew up eating batteries.” But behind the joke, there is actually an unknown sadness.
Rod said that working long hours not only reduces sleep and rest time, but also sacrifices time with family and friends. Sometimes friends suddenly propose to go on a trip together, but when he finds that he collides with the time on duty, he has to choose to give up, and can only attend a friend’s party under the condition of an appointment in advance. In the early days of the outbreak, in order to avoid bringing the virus home to infect his parents, Rod moved away from the home where he grew up.
“In the early stage of the epidemic, I tried not to have a meal with my family for nearly two months. The meeting may only be limited to handover at the door, and there is not much time to get along, so when we get along, the quality is not important. In fact, there are sighs, But I have to be responsible for my career. My family supports me, they don’t say anything to me, they just tell me not to work too hard. Even if I can’t meet, I think it’s worth it.”

There is light at the end of adversity
The epidemic has been raging in Hong Kong for more than two years. Rod has assisted many residential homes in emergency evacuation. He has seen elderly people who have been diagnosed in isolation camps and may not be able to return to nursing homes. However, there are also many elderly people who have been sent to isolation camps by himself. He was then sent back to the nursing home by himself. Seeing the elderly happy because they returned to a familiar place, he did not deny that this was one of the reasons why he persisted until now, and even forgot his physical exhaustion.
“I won’t be too discouraged, because there is hope – they will always finish their quarantine one day. Whether it is citizens or medical staff, everyone may have anti-epidemic fatigue, but I always believe that there are more ways than difficulties, just grit your teeth. , there is always a moment to endure this adversity.”
