Wang Chaonan is Assistant to Head Nurse of the Department of Emergency Medicine, Lishui Municipal Central Hospital, Vice Secretary of the hospital’s Communist Youth League, and leader of the first medical team from Lishui Municipal Central Hospital dispatched by the Zhejiang provincial government to support Wuhan.

In Wuhan, I was moved and motivated every day

Upon their arrival in Wuhan on 25th January, Wang Chaonan and her colleagues have stationed inward area on the 20th floor of Wuhan No.4 Hospital. On the third day after her arrival, she accepted the overall takeover of that ward area with another 32 colleagues from the Zhejiang provincial medical team. They mainly admitted and treated severe COVID-19 patients. She was moved and motivated every day when she was in Wuhan.

In early February, an old woman was ever critically ill in her department. “At that time, I could even feel her short of breath even if I wore heavy protective clothing,” Wang Chaonan said. However, every time after her injection, drug distribution and nursing, the old woman always said thank you to her by striving to cross her hands. Wang Chaonan said, “She even stammered in saying thank you to me, but I was shocked and touched a lot. She was expressing her gratitude even at the cost of her life. From her, I’ve felt how tough life is once again.”

Some other time, she helped a patient find an extremely fine vein. After the injection, the patient insisted on giving her an orange. “Although I couldn’t eat, I could feel that they were expressing their heartfelt gratitude to us.” Later, the patient insisted upon taking a joint photo with the medical workers at the time of discharge.

The protective supplies worn by medical workers were donated from different areas, so the protective supplies they wore every day were different. She said happily, “My style differs every day.”

My mother won in her fight with monsters in Wuhan

Since “she left without saying goodbye” on 25th January, Wang Chaonan was hiding her desire for meeting her son deep in her heart. “I told my son that I had gone to fight monsters. My daughter is a little older. I told her that I went to work in a Wuhan hospital, and there were many patients I had to look after. My daughter asked me to pay extra attention to safety.”

Afterward, Wang Chaonan couldn’t make phone calls to her family often due to frequent work in three shifts. “My mother said that my daughter fell asleep after crying every night. One day when I made a video call to my family, my son was beside, but he was reluctant to see me. For a swift moment, I saw him crying.”

Before her return to Lishui, she bought gifts for her two kids respectively.

In addition, Wang Chaonan said that her past experiences in Wuhan deepened her understanding of the profession as a nurse.

在武汉，每一天都被感动被激励

1月25日达到武汉后，王超男和同事进驻武汉市第四医院20楼病区。到达后的第三天，她同浙江省医疗团队的其余32位同事整建制接管该病区，主要收治重症新冠肺炎患者。

在武汉的每一天，她都被感动，被激励。

2月初，科室有一位老奶奶曾一度病危。“当时我穿着厚重的防护服，都能感受到她呼吸困难。”王超男说，但每次为她打针发药做护理后，老奶奶都会双手合十费力地说谢谢。王超男说，“哪怕那一句谢谢说得断断续续，但是我仍非常震撼，那是用生命在感谢，从老奶奶身上，我再一次体会到生命的坚强。”

还有一次，她帮一个病人找到了一根很细的静脉。挂完针，对方非得塞给她一个橘子。“虽然我吃不了，但我能感受到他们是真心感谢我们。”后来，这位患者出院，还一定要拉着大家合影。

由于穿戴的防护用品由各地捐赠，厂家都不同，每天所穿戴的防护用品也不一样。她开心地说：“我每天都拥有不同的造型。”

妈妈在武汉打怪兽，赢了

从1月25日的“不告而别”，王超男对孩子的思念，都深深地藏在心底。“我给儿子说，妈妈去打怪兽了。女儿大一些，我告诉她我去武汉的医院工作，那儿有许多人需要照顾，女儿让我要格外注意安全。”

后来因为时常需要三班倒，王超男也不能时常给家里打电话。“听我妈妈说，女儿每天晚上都是哭着睡去的。有一次，视频电话过去，儿子在边上，但他始终不肯看我。隐约中，我看见他哭了。”

回丽水前，她分别给两个孩子带了礼物。

王超男还说，这段在武汉期间的经历，让她对护士这个职业的认识也更深了。
