Ye Xin was born on July 9, 1956, in a medical family in Xuwen, Guangdong. In 1974, he was recruited into the health training team of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When I graduated in 1976, I was asked to work in the hospital because I ranked among the best in the nursing ability test. In 1983, she was promoted to head nurse of the emergency department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, making her the youngest head nurse in the hospital.
The emergency department is the largest nursing unit of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, consisting of six departments: 120, rehydration room, blood drawing room, injection room, observation room, and treatment room. The "fast, timely and effective" nature of work, complex and changeable illnesses, and shocking situations require head nurses not only to have superb nursing expertise, but also to have leadership skills and calm and quick thinking skills that are fearless and decisive in the face of danger. At the moment of life and death, in a working environment with an atmosphere of pain, wailing, and helplessness, every medical staff must have a strong body and good psychological quality. For women, this is a huge physical and mental challenge. Ye Xin has been working in the emergency department for decades. Whenever patients with infectious diseases come to the emergency department, Ye Xin always takes the lead, charging ahead and trying not to let the young nurses get involved. Every time she always says: You are still young, this disease is dangerous! She treats this kind of patients with extra patience and meticulous care, without showing any disdain. For patients from poor families, she even took the initiative to spend money to buy things for them. She often said to the nurses: "It is unfortunate enough for patients to contract infectious diseases, but the psychological damage caused by social discrimination may be more painful than the pain! As nurses, on the one hand, we must solve their physical pain, and more importantly, we must provide them with The power of love, the power of life. "Once, a nurse who had just started working caused dissatisfaction with a patient when she served a patient. Ye Xin took the initiative to visit the patient's home to apologize and criticize herself. When the Ersha Branch of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was first established, Ye Xin took the initiative and offered to serve as the head nurse in the Ersha Emergency Department, responsible for the heavy nursing work.
In 2001, a critically ill patient from a mountainous area in Fujian went to the emergency department for treatment. As soon as his condition stabilized, he hurriedly asked to go home. Ye Xin tried her best to persuade her, but the patient refused to listen, so the department decided to send the patient home in an ambulance. Ye Xin took the initiative to apply for care along the way. After 22 hours of bumpy and nursing care, the patient got home safely, but she was too tired to straighten her back. In order to get back to work as soon as possible, Ye Xin took a flight back to Guangzhou at her own expense the next morning.
Around the Spring Festival in 2003, a type of atypical pneumonia of unknown cause began to spread in some areas of Guangzhou. Just after early February, the Ersha Emergency Department of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine began to treat patients diagnosed or suspected of SARS, with a maximum of five patients a day. Faced with a doubling of her workload, Ye Xin carefully planned and calmly deployed, and when she readjusted her classes, she arranged intensive classes. With the sharp increase in SARS patients, the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine made an immediate decision and urgently transferred some nurses from the emergency department of Ersha Branch to reinforce the hospital headquarters in the city center. There is an obvious shortage of nurses in Ersha's emergency department. Ye Xin took the lead and started working overtime on February 8.
At noon on March 4, the extremely tired Ye Xin began to have fever symptoms and was later diagnosed with SARS. In order to treat Ye Xin, the hospital set up a treatment team in the shortest possible time. Ye Xin's condition affects almost everyone's heart. Zhang Dejiang, Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, entrusted Secretary-General Cai Dongshi to express condolences to her and her family; Vice Governor Lei Yulan, accompanied by Huang Yebin, Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, and Huang Qingdao, Director of the Provincial Department of Health, personally went to the hospital to understand the treatment situation. Leaders from the Provincial Department of Health, the Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine also provided technical, material, and equipment support to rescue Ye Xin.
At 1:30 in the morning on March 25, 2003, less than a week after the patient Ye Xin rescued and the one who infected her with SARS was healthy and discharged from hospital, Ye Xin passed away forever. She lost her beloved position, comrades and relatives at the age of 47.
When Ye Xin served as head nurse, she always regarded cultivating nursing talents as an important task in the undergraduate department. She often uses her lunch break to give professional lessons to the nurses, and lets the girls who have just entered the emergency department practice acupuncture on her.
When Ye Xin served as head nurse, she never gave up studying new knowledge. She always mastered the latest technology as soon as possible. In 1995, the paper "Application Research on the Treatment and Nursing Care of Bedsores with Ayurveolar Fluid" won the third prize of Science and Technology Progress Award of Guangdong Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, achieving a breakthrough in scientific and technological innovation of the hospital's nursing topic.
Until his death, *** published 13 papers.
Ye Xin is a person with a calm personality. She does not seek to be well-known, but only values ??dedication. As a leader, her tolerance, peace, integrity, tolerance, showmanship and fairness deeply impressed her colleagues and friends. A young nurse in the department once said poetically: Nurse Ye is simply the embodiment of sunshine and smile, so transparent and bright. It is common for her to work overtime and cover shifts, especially during holidays, she will take the initiative to schedule work for herself. After Ye Xin passed away, her lover said movingly: "Ye Xin and I have been married for 22 years, but we only spent the Spring Festival at home together during the year of our marriage. She spent the rest in the hospital."

On the afternoon of March 29, the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine held a farewell ceremony for Ye Xin’s body in the Qingsong Hall of the Guangzhou Funeral Home. All staff gave her a final farewell. The wreaths are like a sea and the tears are like rain.
On April 16, 2003, "Health News" published the newsletter "Forever White Warrior - Remembering Ye Xin, the head nurse of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine", telling the story of head nurse Ye Xin's tenacious fight regardless of her personal safety. The touching story of SARS.
Her hearty laughter still seems to be echoing in the department, and patients still seem to remember her always busy figure and her spring breeze-like concern and comfort. However, in March when everything is recovering, 47-year-old Ye Xin, the head nurse of the emergency department of Ersha Branch of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, passed away forever.
She fell on the battlefield fighting SARS day and night.
The lover who is the CEO of the company does not believe that his wife, who always takes it calmly and calmly, and that danger and death never seem to really enter her bright eyes, will leave him and his wife who is still in college forever. son. In the past, he didn't even know how much his family's water and electricity bills were, but now he has to rely on his father and son to take care of himself, starting from cooking and washing. He endured his grief and took Ye Xin's beloved work clothes and swallow-tailed hat from the department where she worked, so that she could say her final goodbyes. Because, "She likes work clothes, no matter how old or worn out she is." With tears in his eyes, he told the reporter who went to interview: "Actually, Ye Xin knew the dangers of fighting SARS this time. Two weeks before she fell ill, we even canceled the weekend dinner party with the elderly. When the disease became serious, When it came, Ye Xin went up to it. She didn’t desert, we are proud of her!”
“It’s dangerous here, let me come.”
Around the Spring Festival this year, A type of atypical pneumonia with unknown cause began to spread in some areas of Guangzhou. Just after early February, the Ersha Emergency Department of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine began to treat patients diagnosed or suspected of SARS, with a maximum of five patients a day. Faced with a doubling of her workload, Ye Xin carefully planned and calmly deployed, and when she readjusted her classes, she arranged intensive classes. Invisible diseases are invisible and intangible. Even if you are fully armed, sometimes you cannot prevent them. Overloaded and stressful work often leaves people no time to take care of loose masks; severe physical overdraft allows diseases to take advantage of the situation. Some nurses fell ill, and Ye Xin was worried. Every day when she went to work, the first thing she did was to fetch boiled water and preventive medicine, and watch everyone take them. She earnestly reminded everyone to implement various isolation measures. From doctors to caregivers, no one should be left behind. The rigor and conscientiousness of his inspections are almost to the point of being picky.
With the sharp increase in SARS patients, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine made an immediate decision and urgently transferred some nurses from the emergency department of Ersha Branch to reinforce the hospital headquarters in the city center. There is an obvious shortage of nurses in Ersha's emergency department. Ye Xin took the lead and started working overtime on February 8. When she was busy, she even refused to answer calls from her family.
This is a difficult blocking battle.
During the treatment of SARS patients, head nurse Ye noticed that many critically ill patients often suffered from other serious diseases at the same time. The originally weak body is obviously no match for the new disease, and multiple organ failure may occur at any time. At this moment, saving lives requires not only a high sense of responsibility, but also superb technology and full collaboration among medical staff. Mr. Liang, a patient with existing coronary heart disease and undergoing cardiac bypass surgery, came to the emergency department due to fever and cough. His condition deteriorated sharply in a short period of time, with difficulty breathing, irritability, cyanosis, heart failure, and respiratory failure. Nurse Ye Xin rushed over quickly and skillfully raised the hospital bed so that the patient was in a semi-sitting and recumbent position. At the same time, he administered oxygen through a mask, connected the bedside electrocardiogram, blood pressure and oxygen saturation monitors, and intravenously injected cardiotonic drugs and vasoactive drugs. Drugs, respiratory stimulants, monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, respiration... Two hours later, the patient was finally out of danger. Nurse Ye ignored the rest and dragged her exhausted body back to rescuing another patient. Because there are still nursing tasks for Xian Bo in bed 7 and Gao Bo in bed 9 who are on ventilators, waiting for her to check... In this way, high-risk, high-intensity, and high-efficiency work has always been with Ye Xin. She was like a never-tiring machine running at full speed, snatching one patient after another from the hands of death. But who would have thought that at this moment, Ye Xin was enduring the torment of her own illness to complete rescue and care operations again and again.
In order to keep the patient's respiratory tract open, a large amount of thick bloody sputum blocking it must be removed, and this is the most contagious. The rescue of a severely ill SARS patient is often accompanied by the collapse of multiple medical staff. In the face of the raging SARS, danger and death are so real to medical staff. "It's dangerous here, let me do it!" Ye Xin and Zhang Zhongde, director of the Ersha Emergency Department, silently made a sincere and regretless choice - to do their best to take over the examination, rescue, treatment and care of critical SARS patients. Sometimes, He even locked out his colleagues and acted harshly, leaving no possibility of negotiation. They know very well that they may fall down one day, but they are willing to prevent or reduce the risk of infection to their colleagues!
"Don't come close to me, you will be infected."
February 24 was a tense but ordinary day for Ye Xin. When I was working the night shift the night before yesterday, I felt sore all over my body and very tired.
Since the emergence of SARS patients in the emergency department, she no longer has the concept of holidays or weekends. In recent times, she has obviously felt low on energy, especially cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis and knee joint disease, which seem to be coming at once, but there are too many things that require her in the emergency department, and she can't let go. She was even more afraid to tell her colleagues and leaders about her illness, otherwise she would be forced to rest again. In the morning, an acute abdomen patient with suspected intestinal obstruction came to the emergency department and required emergency surgery. At the same time, some of the patient's symptoms attracted the great attention of medical staff. With the feedback of the test results, the suspicion was finally confirmed: it was SARS! Immediately afterwards, the patient's condition took a turn for the worse, and all serious symptoms appeared. This was a severely "toxic" patient! Nurse Ye and members of the expert team quickly started rescue work: tracheal intubation and ventilator placement. As time passed, the patient was finally brought back from the brink of death. But it was at this time that the SARS virus broke into Ye Xin, who had been fighting on the front line for many days.
In the early morning of March 4, Ye Xin came to the department as early as usual: touring the wards, understanding the conditions of critically ill patients, and arranging isolation wards... Although she felt tired and unwell before going to work, she still Keep busy in the department and pay close attention to the condition of each patient. After working hard all morning, I didn't drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food. I just felt sleepy and painful all over my body and had to crawl into bed to rest. Just after noon, the extremely tired head nurse Ye began to have fever symptoms and had to go to the ward for isolation and observation. The body temperature is rising and rehydration is dripping, but Nurse Ye is still worried about several critically ill patients in the department. Through the call device, colleagues in the emergency department heard her weak but kind voice again: "9 After being put on the ventilator in bed, has the blood oxygen saturation gone up? Is the amount of sputum suction every two hours in the afternoon too much?" "7 How much urine does the bed produce every two hours? Critically ill patients should turn over on time and take good care of their skin and mouth!"
The disease finally did not let her go. It was diagnosed that Ye Xin contracted SARS, and she had to be admitted to the headquarters of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she had worked for 27 years. In the first few days when she entered the respiratory department, whenever medical staff came for examination and treatment, she always repeatedly told them to wear an extra set of isolation gowns and multiple layers of masks. She even proposed to take care of herself: "I am an old head nurse, what can't I do?" When the hospital leaders came to visit, the first thing she talked about was not her illness, but reviewing her own shortcomings, blaming herself for accidentally contracting the disease, and giving the hospital and The leader caused trouble. She even asked Dr. Qin in her department to see if there was any work she could do for her to complete in her hospital bed.
In order to treat Ye Xin, the hospital established a treatment team as quickly as possible and assigned a director to be responsible for the implementation of the entire treatment plan. Dean Lu Yubo asked the medical team to use the best treatment methods, methods and drugs to treat Ye Xin. The treatment team also specially invited experts from Sun Yat-sen University School of Medicine, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, and Guangzhou Medical College to participate in the formulation of the entire treatment plan, and actively sought support from across the country. During an expert consultation, President Lu Yubo heard that a medical expert in Tianjin had unique experience in treating multiple organ failure. He called the expert in Tianjin that night. The expert was moved by President Lu's eagerness and sincerity. The next morning, I took the first flight to Guangzhou. However, as time passed, Nurse Ye's condition never improved.
I don’t know how many people are thinking about Nurse Ye. I don’t know how many people ask with concern as soon as they go to work, "How is Nurse Ye, is it getting better?" Ye Xin's condition affects almost everyone. heart. Zhang Dejiang, Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, entrusted Secretary-General Cai Dongshi to express condolences to her and her family; Vice Governor Lei Yulan, accompanied by Huang Yebin, Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, and Huang Qingdao, Director of the Provincial Department of Health, personally went to the hospital to understand the treatment situation. Leaders from the Provincial Department of Health, the Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine also provided technical, material, and equipment support to rescue Ye Xin. Shortly after Ye Xin was transferred to the ICU ward, it was no longer convenient for her to speak because she was wearing a mask. One day, facing the doctor who came to treat her, she suddenly and urgently motioned to the nurse to hand her a paper and pen, and wrote tremblingly: "Don't come close to me, you will be infected." The nurse handed the paper to her colleague in tears, but Everyone is still not afraid of danger and actively rescues people. Dean Lu Yubo recalled: "When Ye Xin was first admitted to the hospital, I went to see her. She was afraid that I would get close, so she said from a distance, 'I can withstand 39 degrees Celsius!'" Director Zhang Zhongde, who has now recovered, choked with sobs. At that time, Ye Xin and I were both infected and living in the ICU ward together. We often wrote notes to encourage each other.
”
No matter how many people’s efforts and calls, they couldn’t stop Ye Xin from leaving in a hurry! Just after the patient she rescued at the end, who also infected her with SARS, was healthy and discharged from the hospital. Less than a week later, at 1:30 a.m. on March 25, Ye Xin left her beloved position, comrades, and relatives forever! On the afternoon of March 29, all the staff of the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital held a funeral ceremony for her in the Qingsong Hall of the Guangzhou Funeral Home. The final farewell. The portrait is full of flowers and tears.
"Ye Xin is a book, burning with the passion of life" < /p>
A medical expert who is familiar with Ye Xin said: "Ye Xin is a book, with every page burning with the passion and passionate pursuit of life. ”
Ye Xin was born into a medical family in Xuwen, Guangdong in 1956. In 1974, she was recruited into the health training team of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Soon, young Ye Xin stood out from the nursing class students at the same time. In 1976 When she graduated, she ranked among the best in the nursing ability test. Time passed, and in 1983, due to her outstanding work performance, Ye Xin was promoted to the head nurse of the emergency department of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, becoming the youngest head nurse in the hospital. The emergency department is the largest nursing unit of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It consists of six departments: 120, rehydration room, blood drawing room, injection room, observation room, and treatment room. The work nature is "fast, timely, and effective" and is complex and changeable. The illness and shocking situation require the head nurse not only to have superb nursing expertise, but also to have leadership skills that are fearless and decisive in the face of danger, as well as calm and quick thinking skills, working in an atmosphere of pain, wailing, and helplessness at the moment of life and death. In this environment, every medical staff must have a strong body and good mental quality. For women, this is a super challenge for the body and mind. But Ye Xin has been working in the emergency department for 20 years. Her colleagues will never forget it. Whenever patients with infectious diseases come to the emergency department, Ye Xin always takes the lead and tries not to let the young nurses get involved. She always says: You are still young, this disease is dangerous! She takes care of these patients with great patience and meticulousness, without any disdain. For patients from poor families, she even takes the initiative to spend money to buy things for them. She often tells the nurses: "It is unfortunate enough for patients to have infectious diseases." However, the psychological harm caused by social discrimination may be more painful than the pain! As nurses, we must not only solve their physical pain, but also give them the power of love and life. ”
In 2001, a severely ill patient from a mountainous area in Fujian went to the emergency department for treatment. As soon as his condition stabilized, he hurriedly asked to go home. Ye Xin tried hard to persuade him, but the patient just refused to listen, so the department decided to use The ambulance took the patient home. Ye Xin took the initiative to apply for 22 hours of care and support along the way. The patient got home safely, but she was too tired to get back to work as soon as possible. Ye Xin spent her own money to fly back to Guangzhou.
During Ye Xin's nursing career, her tender care has touched countless desperate patients. Her care for the sick has become a part of her humanity. For Ye Xin, it was almost an instinctive dedication! Dean Lu Yubo could not forget that Ye Xin was an educated youth who joined the health training team of the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital at the same time as him. After he became the director, Ye Xin only talked on the phone. I had two interviews with him. One was when the Ersha branch was just established, and she offered to serve as the head nurse in the Ersha emergency department, responsible for the heavy nursing work; the other time was when a nurse who had just started working was serving patients. When the patient was dissatisfied, Ye Xin took the initiative to visit the patient's home to apologize, and then called him to criticize himself.
With the rapid development of emergency technology and the rapid update of emergency treatment equipment, Ye Xin never gave up on his treatment. Studying new knowledge. She always grasps the latest technology immediately, which even puts those self-respecting young nurses to shame. In 1995, Ye Xin won the provincial award for her "Research on the Application of Aphrodisiac Liquid in the Treatment and Nursing Care of Bedsores". The third prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award of the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, achieving zero breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation in the hospital's nursing projects. Until her death, she had published 13 papers.
Ye Xin served as the director. When she was the head nurse, she always regarded cultivating nursing talents as an important task in the undergraduate department. She often used her lunch breaks to give professional classes to the nurses and let the girls who had just entered the emergency department practice acupuncture on her. The hospital leader joked: The emergency department is the window for the hospital to cultivate and transport talents. Ye Xin is a person with a calm personality. She does not seek fame, but only dedication.
As a leader, her tolerance, peace, integrity, tolerance, showmanship and fairness deeply impressed her colleagues and friends. A young nurse in the department once said poetically: Nurse Ye is simply the embodiment of sunshine and smile, so transparent and bright. It is common for her to work overtime and cover shifts, especially during holidays, she will take the initiative to arrange work for herself. After Ye Xin passed away, her lover said movingly: "Ye Xin and I have been married for 22 years, but we only spent the Spring Festival at home together during the year of our marriage. She spent the rest in the hospital."
On Ye Xin's desk, there was a thick work record written on the back of a discarded laboratory test sheet. Bit by bit, her footsteps of fighting in this smokeless battle are recorded, embodying her lifelong love and pursuit of the nursing profession.
