At about 20:30 yesterday, Ms. Li, who came to Shanghai from Wenzhou for chemotherapy, brought her 5-year-old son who was suffering from malignant tumor to the “Xinmin Gang”. “Nong busy” for help, her son needs chemotherapy after surgery at the Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University, but due to the epidemic, the hospital has been closed and the chemotherapy has been delayed for six days, and it is unknown when he will be admitted to the hospital.
During the conversation with reporters, Ms. Li choked up several times. Her 5-year-old son is suffering from malignant Wilms tumor. After she came to Shanghai to seek medical treatment, she was treated in time at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University, and required 9 chemotherapy treatments after the operation. As of February 28 this year, Ms. Li’s son has undergone 8 chemotherapy treatments at the Pediatric Hospital. Based on a chemotherapy cycle of 21 days, the ninth inpatient chemotherapy should be scheduled on March 21.
On March 19, Ms. Li rushed to the Pediatrics Hospital from Wenzhou with her son immediately after receiving the notice from the hospital. But I didn’t expect that just after the necessary examinations before chemotherapy were completed, the pediatric hospital implemented emergency closure and control management due to the impact of the epidemic.
Ms. Li worked hard for many years from Jiangxi Province to Wenzhou City, and she and her husband lived frugally and worked hard to raise three children. The husband works at the port and is almost in a semi-closed state during the epidemic. Every time she came to Shanghai for medical treatment, Ms. Li would drag her luggage and hold her child by herself, running back and forth. But no matter how tired or bitter she was, she gritted her teeth and stood up. “As long as the child is well, I will do anything.” The sobbing voice of Ms. Li came from the other end of the phone.
Now, 6 days have passed since the normal inpatient chemotherapy. Do you know when the hospital will be closed? Will the children be able to be treated in time after the lockdown is lifted? These days, Ms. Li has asked major hospitals for help, but considering that the child has been treated in the pediatric hospital, many doctors have suggested that she continue to wait and still be treated in the pediatric hospital.
After receiving Ms. Li’s request for help, the reporter immediately contacted the inpatient department of the Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. The medical staff on duty informed, “This afternoon, the hospital has just been unsealed, and patients can be accepted tomorrow. But the specific situation needs to be inquired with the attending doctor.” The reporter immediately informed Ms. Li’s child’s specific situation. After verification, the medical staff feedback: The child’s attending doctor Dr. Shen just went home to rest due to the end of the hospital closure. He had previously informed that a child who was going to undergo chemotherapy the next day was admitted to the hospital, but who it was, the doctor would need to come to work the next day to confirm. The reporter left a phone number and asked the hospital to inform the relevant situation in time after confirmation.
The reporter called Ms. Li again. After recounting the communication process, she asked her not to be overly anxious and wait patiently for a clear reply from the hospital. At 22:5, Ms. Li took the initiative to call, her excitement was beyond words, “I just received a call from the inpatient department of the Pediatric Hospital, informing me that I can go through the hospitalization procedures with my child early tomorrow morning!” She said, at this moment, My heart is very warm.
