“Hello, can you help me? I am a uremia patient. I made a phone call, but everyone in the family has been quarantined and cannot deliver medicine…” Lao Tang’s anxious voice came from the phone.
Last Friday night at 7:00 p.m., Xu Bowen, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine at the Dongfang Hospital affiliated to Tongji University, a staff member of the Pudong Fangcang Cabin Hospital headquarters, received a uremia patient in the cabin. Lao Tang’s call for help, because he was in a hurry to pack his luggage before entering the Fangcang cabin hospital, and Lao Tang only brought three days’ worth of peritoneal dialysis fluid. “I really have no choice. If I don’t have peritoneal dialysis fluid, I can’t last for a few days…” As a uremia patient, I need to rely on peritoneal dialysis fluid to urinate every day. Once the supply is cut off, the accumulation of toxins in the body will lead to fatal consequences.
Gu Yuying, the leader of the Fangcang shelter hospital, contacted Lao Tang immediately after learning about the situation, and asked in detail about the specifications of the peritoneal dialysis fluid used. Since this medicine is usually prepared by patients, the Fangcang shelter hospital does not prepare medicines; more unfortunately, the manufacturer of this brand of peritoneal dialysis solution is killing, and the delivery of the medicine will be delayed. Faced with such a predicament, the staff inside and outside the cabin were in a state of anxiety, calling one after another, communicating and coordinating the dispensing of medicines.
Half an hour later, there is good news – there is still a small amount of stock in the hemodialysis room of the South Hospital of the Eastern Hospital, which can be used by Lao Tang in an emergency! The doctor from the South Hospital immediately called Gu Yuying: “We will be ready immediately, you can come and pick it up at any time.” Gu Yuying informed Lao Tang of the good news, and quickly killed and changed clothes with Xu Bowen, and drove to the hospital for emergency pick up. Send life-saving peritoneal dialysis. Less than an hour later, Lao Tang got the life-saving peritoneal dialysis solution. He was very moved and couldn’t stop saying thank you.
Considering the special circumstances of the epidemic, Lao Tang may not be an exception. The Nephrology Department of Dongfang Hospital communicated with the medical department, the pharmacy department, and the suppliers of peritoneal dialysis fluid and iodophor caps at the first time. A peritoneal dialysis clinic was specially opened in the Nephrology Department. Liu Na, the director of the department, and Fang Lu, the deputy chief physician, attended the consultation. Guarantee the timely supply of peritoneal dialysis fluid and iodophor caps, and ensure that even if the patient is closed and controlled by the community, the peritoneal dialysis solution will still be delivered to the community on time without delaying the treatment of peritoneal dialysis patients.
This measure not only meets the medical needs of peritoneal dialysis patients in Dongfang Hospital, but also many peritoneal dialysis patients in the surrounding areas who have been followed up in other hospitals in the past few days.
