Under these white shells, there are obviously living people
In recent days, colleagues in the editorial department have fallen ill one after another. During the period, I also heard the news that a medical graduate student died suddenly due to overwork.
A doctor friend submitted a manuscript to Shan Du, which was written on the eve of the liberalization of local policies. He recorded his knowledge and experience working in the nucleic acid base. Although he later advocated “unnecessary no nucleic acid”, such nucleic acid The base still exists, and medical staff from public hospitals are needed to support it.
While handling the work of his original position, he accepts assignments at any time. At the nucleic acid base, he met medical graduate students who were angry for “wasting time”, laboratory doctors who blamed themselves for not being able to take care of their children, and those who were on the assembly line, A numb person in a white body.
Nucleic acid base
Written by: Madero
It was the weekend when the temperature was cooling down. On that day, my task was temporarily reassigned from “emergency support nucleic acid sampling point” to “emergency support nucleic acid base”. The frequency of the epidemic has risen again, and it is not difficult to guess that the epidemic in the city is showing a comeback trend. In the past year when the epidemic has been repeated, I have become accustomed to being arranged to go here and there, go to the huts on the square to collect nucleic acid, go to the highway and ship docks to watch the night, and check the code at the entrance of the hospital, like entering a hospital. A circle, shuttle back and forth between these tasks, and occasionally return to the post, as a guest doctor for a few days.
As usual, I rushed to the nucleic acid base after dealing with the matters in the ward. At this time, there was still some time before I entered the venue. After changing my clothes, I went to the lounge. The lounge was originally supposed to be a dance practice room. Wooden floors, full-length mirrors on the walls, iron beds with upper and lower bunks lined up on all sides, and reclining chairs in the hall. It’s cold, and countless white quilt cores are stuffed naked on the bunks and reclining chairs. , like rolling mountains covered with snow. The curtains are completely closed, and the room is as dark as a film-washed dark room. After careful identification with a few clusters of faint mobile phone light, it is discovered that the room is actually full of people—they are all curled up under the white quilt to take a nap or play with their mobile phones.
I found an empty bed and lay down, but I met an acquaintance at my feet, it was H, a graduate student who was about to graduate, I greeted him, and he complained to me: “Damn, you sent me here again, don’t say it without pay, I still have to pay for the round-trip taxi fare myself.” I heard it too much, and then asked him in a low voice: “You are graduating soon, what about the graduation project?” He said: “Do whatever you want, as long as you can graduate Seeing that I didn’t talk to him, he went on to say: “I can make flowers without subject and funds. It’s even better now. I don’t even have my own time. They asked me in the morning pretending to choose to go. I came to the country to do nucleic acid, and I still came to the nucleic acid base. Before I could answer, they chose this place for me, saying that at least there would be no wind and rain here. I really thank them for thinking about me.” I said: It shouldn’t be your turn anyway, you’re here to study, it’s too much.” He said with a wry smile, “Guess what I’ve studied as a graduate student in three years? Just three things, collecting nucleic acid, guarding the door, and taking out the trash .” I was speechless, so I had to ask him, “Did you take out the garbage again today?” “Yes, unpacking and taking out the garbage are nothing more than these two things.”
The official name of taking out the garbage is actually “coordination assistant”, which is actually doing chores, doing some tedious tasks, such as moving boxes of kits to the laboratory, taking them out, tearing apart the plastic film, and stacking them neatly into piles , and then dismember the empty packaging boxes and stack them up, so that the space in the garbage bag can be fully utilized. I once marveled at the skillful technique of the waste collection lady when I was selling paper boxes. I came here to take this opportunity to practice repeatedly. The technique is better than that. No less. After other types of work have completed the task of the day, all the discarded nucleic acid test tubes must be collected and bagged, reinforced with two layers of garbage bags, emptied of the air in the bag, tied tightly at the mouth of the bag, and then carried on the shoulder like Santa Claus distributing gifts. Ship to the waste room. If you want to combine work with physical exercise, this kind of job is very suitable. You must know that after the outsourcing is released, there are many unemployed migrant workers who want to do this job. Hospitals need to assign a clinician who is in urgent need of physical exercise to come to support each day.

After lying down for a while, the mobile phone group began to issue orders: Unpack the bag number and scan personnel, come in. Several white quilt cores began to tremble one after another, and then the first group of people who received the signal drilled out from underneath, opened the door and went out. Then there was another long wait, and H suddenly asked me: “Brother, do you know the isolation point of ××?” I have been quarantined in the hotel and haven’t been home for more than a month.” “Really? Let me tell you, an old cousin of mine was sent in a few months ago.” I went to a big city to work. Seeing that the epidemic situation was getting better, I left my hometown to find a job and went to build a shelter hospital… As a result, I became positive and was sent to another shelter hospital. After a few days, I became cloudy. I was discharged from the hospital and went to a local isolation hotel. Later, the hotel was full and there was no room for them. I repatriated this group of people. There was a mistake during the handover. The station refused to arrange vehicles and escorts, so they slept in the bridge hole next to the station for two days. Two nights, I finally waited for the bus to arrive, loaded a group of people, chatted on the road and realized something was wrong, the destinations of the people on the bus were different, so I started arguing with the driver, the driver didn’t talk nonsense, and just drove them halfway I drove out of the car, and when they got out of the car, they were dumbfounded, and they were thrown at the intersection of the three provinces.” I said, “There is such a thing? Then what should I do?” “Call the police, The closest city to city B in province A was sent to city B, but the police in city B said that you came from province C, where did you go back and forth, they refused to agree, and you would not go back to province C if you were killed, but what is more troublesome is They are all from different places, and it is not easy to arrange to send them home one by one. They can only contact their bosses. Wherever the boss is, they will be sent to them in batches, so that the problem will be kicked to the boss.” “Then Your old cousin came to us?” “Yes, although he was discharged from the hospital with negative results, but because he came from a high-risk area, he had to stay in the hotel for ’14+14′ days.” I know this well, I was in the isolation hotel The person in charge of calculating this, I explained: “There is no condition for single-person home isolation to be ’14+14′. If there is, you can only stay for 14 days and then stay home for isolation.” “He is not from our side at all. Where did the home isolation conditions come from, and later he stayed for 28 days for some unknown reason.” I said, “Is it because of abnormal nucleic acid re-examination?” H said, “Yes, yes, it is said that his T value is high It was a little lower, I can’t remember, anyway, I stayed for another month, and I was so mentally disturbed, I swore at home that I would not come out even if I starved to death.”
At this time, the second order was issued in the group: the sample addition coordination assistant can enter. As a result, many people were awakened, opened the door and left, let in a few gusts of cold wind, and buried my face in the soft pillow. In fact, I really wanted to tell H just now that I was in isolation at the time. I also encountered it when I was working in a hotel. I was about to be released, and a suspicious nucleic acid abnormality extended the quarantine time. This sense of despair made the young manic, the middle-aged resentful, the elderly uneasy, and finally all depressed. I remembered that once I was sent to the expressway checkpoint in the middle of the night to do nucleic acid for drivers from other places. The workload was not too big, and I could rest when there was no car coming, but the rest tent was set up in the driveway beside the road. On the road, the sound of the wheels outside can be heard clearly through the canvas. When I was lying there at night, I was thinking, what if a truck driver dozed off, and even the person and the tent were run over when turning the corner, so the whole night would be difficult. Terrified, dare not sleep. After a while, I rolled over and got out of bed, and H wanted to follow me, but I told him that he could come in at the latest, and that he could stay in bed a little longer on this windy and stormy winter morning. In fact, it was my turn long ago. So when I entered the buffer room at the end, I didn’t want to squeeze in clothes with others.
Wearing masks, hats, shoe covers, large white sets, tearing off the face screen, and gloves, this set of things has been put on and taken off countless times in the past three years. When I was about to get dressed, a woman rushed in. I glanced at her face under the mask. Her skin was fair and dry, covered with red rashes. She didn’t change the N95 mask, and I didn’t remind her. She walked into the negative pressure workshop and opened the two-way door. The operating table was full of rust, and two rows of brand-new centrifuges were working tirelessly, and the Dabai people who interspersed among them were busy. Although I was late, no one cared, they were all busy with their own work, so I sat in front of the operating table on the far side that had been broken and lost its purification function, and my mind was empty for two minutes. The woman just came Chi, she is my partner Z today.
“Will you?” Z asked me. “It’s still possible to twist the bottle cap.” “Okay, then I’ll be in charge of pipetting, and you will suffer from the hard work.” She went to get the pipette gun on the shelf, and complained by the way: “None of the guns here are working. It’s exhausting.” So we officially started, I unscrewed the bottle caps of dozens of nucleic acid test tubes on the blue shelf one by one, and handed them to her, and she put the tip of the gun into it to draw a few drops of the test solution , added to a smaller reagent tube, discarded the tip, replaced it with a new one, and then I unscrewed the next tube and cycled thousands of times. What breaks the boring work is often a conversation. During the first few sets, we kept silent with each other tacitly. As she complained again that the pipette was in disrepair and affected the progress, we began to communicate. “You expect them to change equipment? Don’t dream, this table is broken, and there is no negative pressure on the edge. If a positive one is made, we will be unlucky.” In fact, wearing a mask, speaking is very laborious, and the listener will feel confused It is not clear, but the tone of the person when complaining is often sonorous and forceful. “Then what can we do? Who told us to come last, at least they will open a table for us.” “I always think that we are all consumables, which can be thrown away when we are used up.” “You may overestimate yourself, consumables Those who need to spend money, we are free.” “It’s okay, isn’t it paid every time you work?” “The original money is changed to a different name and sent to you, you are really happy. “”All walks of life are in a downturn right now. Take a closer look. It’s good to have something to eat.”

“Is the situation really serious this time? People said yesterday that there will be a lot of re-examinations.” Zero, it should be quarantined, it should be sealed and prosecuted, it should be nucleic acid nucleic acid, I was sent out to chase the sun two days ago.” “What is chasing the sun?” , That time I didn’t go home until twelve o’clock in the middle of the night. I built a family in just over four hours.” “Then what are you doing these four hours?” “Wait.” “It’s still the same, and the same as the beginning It was the same at that time, without any preparations, let Corey go out first, and wait there.” “It was like this from the beginning to the end, just like a war, and was sent to the front line empty-handed, only to find that the supply of supplies did not keep up. “
There is no slack in the movement of our hands. We are like two machines with gears that fit together. Once it is wound up, it will never stop. “Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of specimens today. When I came in, I saw that there were more than a dozen bags full of specimens, more than before.” “How long have we been in?” “It’s only been less than two hours, why? Are you tired?” “Hands are a little sore, but it’s okay.” My gloves were inadvertently splashed with different test solutions, and the color of my five fingers, including the tiger’s mouth, changed from milky white to black. We learned from the conversation that Z’s closed-loop experience is no less than mine. She is in the laboratory department, which can be said to be the most tiring department after the outbreak, and she works overtime all day long. In addition, she, like a clinician, has to participate in various other tasks. The most memorable one was when she was sent to the cabin to be responsible for vaccine protection. A certain vaccinator suddenly fainted during the half-hour observation period, and she was at a loss. I almost cried, but luckily that person had hypoglycemia, and the nurse who rushed over gave me a stick of glucose and lay down for a while, and then recovered. She was very innocent, because before that, she had always emphasized that she was from the auxiliary department and was not competent… …
Another hour of silence, we seem to have lost the ability to speak, catching up with our progress. “If you feel that you can’t make it, think about what to have for dinner. There are many delicious restaurants nearby, but you can only order takeaway.” “I don’t live here, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it. You usually eat it at two o’clock First-line, do you never go out to eat?” “Yes, you can either order takeaway or cook at home. I haven’t gone out for three years, and I haven’t gone out in the urban area. People who like to travel like me, let me Staying at home every day is worse than telling me to die, but since I have a special job, what can I do? I have been developing rashes on my face due to wearing an N95 mask for a long time. I went to the dermatologist and said that the barrier is damaged, so I just don’t go out. , shameless to see people.” “It will get better, go out and play when the epidemic is over. Hey, let me tell you, when I checked the gate in the pre-screening and triage before, didn’t I have the list of high-risk areas at hand, thick It’s a thick stack, I want to visit all the places above, it’s like a travel list.” “Haha, you make a few marks, you have to go sooner or later, when the epidemic is over.” When the epidemic is over.

“My husband has also been unlucky recently and was transferred to prevent the epidemic, but don’t tell me, my husband understood my difficulty from that moment on. He usually sleeps and rests unshakably, and he can’t understand that I will be forced after being woken up on the night shift. I feel refreshed, and I can’t understand why I have to go out on a mission immediately every time I make a phone call, until he himself is called away by a phone call in the middle of the night.” “Then what about your child?” “I asked an aunt to take it, what can I do?” What about it? Even the elderly in the family can’t come here, and my monthly salary is just enough to pay for my aunt.” “Isn’t that for nothing?” “Money is not the most important thing. I think I spend too much time with our baby. Less, I will work overtime today, close the loop tomorrow, and close the loop for a month. When my baby’s grades are not good, I can only worry, but what can video chat solve? My husband has paid more than me in this regard. Finally, this weekend I am at home with my baby, and I have to go home to make dinner for him, what time is it?” “Four o’clock, we have been cooking for almost five hours.” “Hey, there are so many more, the poor baby is going to starve to death. “
We did this job endlessly, lost track of time, just felt hungry and thirsty, completed more than ever before, centrifuges never stopped running, rechecked test tubes were recovered from garbage dumps, It was served in front of us again, like a dish reheated in the pot, and it lost our appetite. I suddenly stopped what I was doing, stood up, and looked around under Z’s surprised eyes. Dabai were still hard at work, and the laboratory was full of enthusiasm. Some of them started from the first day the base was built. They are arranged to come in, have undergone size screening, tension and relaxation, and are the unshakable masters here. They recruit soldiers and horses, break down this work into several detailed steps, and even get something from A to five meters. There is also a dedicated job post in Department B outside of the hospital. A large number of medical staff are sent here to support every day without interruption, cutting everything in the hospital. The scary thing is that some people have been deeply used to this way of working and began to enjoy the joy of not using their brains. They follow numbly. Why not become an assembly line worker in a nucleic acid factory? I suddenly felt chills and wanted to scream loudly. Under these white bodies, there were obviously living people, but their energy was drained.
“Are you okay?” Z asked me. “I’m fine.” “There are the last three sets, come on, let’s finish them together.” “Okay.” With my five stiff black fingers, I unscrewed the cap of the next silent bottle with difficulty.
