Although he is about to retire, Su Yutao still adheres to the original intention of being a doctor and resolutely chooses to become a “big white”, stick to the front line of the fight against the epidemic with his colleagues, and demonstrate the responsibility and responsibility of an old medical worker with practical actions.
