In memory of Dr. Li Wenliang——"Heroes forever"

“Rumor and disinformation, admonition and interview, truth and public opinion, lesson and future.”

When Dr. Li Wenliang went, the light of life quietly died out at the age of 34.

It took him a month from a completely healthy doctor to the end of his life.

His life has left us many questions and reflections, one on rumors, one on infectious diseases and one on whistleblowers.

Many said he was one of the eight people who had been first notified.

In fact, the first information to be released to the eight people in safe Wuhan was on January 1, while Li Wenliang was admonished by the police on January 3.

Dr. Li Wenliang himself is not sure whether he is one of the eight people in the population, so it is likely that he is not the eight "whistleblowers" who were officially summoned.

But what can this do? Because in that period, any doctor with conscience will choose to speak out after knowing the situation, and try to warn the people they can warn, alert them to pay attention to protection and catch infectious diseases. So big Wuhan, there are more than eight "whistleblowers"?

Every doctor who adheres to the principle of doctor and warns the outside world is the whistler of this epidemic war and the watchman of protecting human health. It doesn't matter whether Li Wenliang is one of the eight. We just need to know that he is one of the numerous "whistleblowers".

In addition, we also want to know whether Dr. Li Wenliang is a rumor, and what has he experienced?

On December 30, Dr. Li Wenliang, in a group of 150 students, gave an early warning that seven cases of SARS had been confirmed in the seafood market in South China, and emphasized that it was a coronavirus, which was highly similar to SARS, and the specific situation was still in typing. And the basis of his words is that he saw a test report of a patient and found a positive indicator of high confidence of SARS coronavirus. The professional knowledge of the doctor reminded him that this matter was very serious.

His chat record was screenshot, sent to the Internet, less emphasis on the "coronavirus, is typing.".

As the Supreme People's court said, if many people listen to Dr. Li Wenliang or the many warnings that are referred to as "rumor" and pay attention to protection, it may be of great benefit to the current epidemic treatment. Because their judgment is based on professional basis, and later proved to be right.

Although he mistakenly said the word "confirmed diagnosis", according to the context, Dr. Li Wenliang is not a rumor.

The fifth day after being admonished by the police.

That is to say, on January 8, Dr. Li Wenliang, as a "whistleblower" who warned others to pay attention to protection, diagnosed and treated an acute glaucoma patient with similar symptoms. Since there was no fever on that day, Dr. Li Wenliang was not too vigilant, just normal treatment. Later, his glaucoma intraocular pressure was normal, but his appetite was still poor, and he began to have fever at noon the next day. The family who took care of the patient that night also had a fever, as did her other daughter.

Dr. Li Wenliang said that this was a typical "human to human transmission", and he immediately reported it at that time.

On the day the patient turned away, Dr. Li Wenliang began coughing, and the next day he began to have fever. At this time, he began to wear N95 masks for protection. But by this time, it was too late. The novel coronavirus was highly suspected of being a CT in January 12th. Colleagues in the same department also developed symptoms of infection one or two days later, and his parents were hospitalized with symptoms one after another.

In Dr. Li Wenliang, novel coronavirus pneumonia has been highly infectious, but the media reported that it was still limited. Later, Dr. Li Wenliang's condition went through a deterioration, and he spent 50000 or 60000 yuan. At that time, he was still wondering whether this money could be reimbursed.

Although he was hospitalized, he couldn't be diagnosed until February 1, when he sent a micro blog saying:

"Today, the result of nucleic acid test is positive and the dust is settled. Finally, the diagnosis is made."

He thought that the dust was settled, and then as long as he was patient with the treatment, it would be OK. After all, on this day, he still has the strength to send a micro blog and look forward to the start of the TV series

But what he didn't expect was that within five days of his diagnosis, on February 6, he was in critical condition.

After several hours of rescue, he died at 2:58 a.m. on February 7. The rescue experience that night was as follows:

Dr. Li Wenliang was in critical condition. At 21:00, he was authorized to use the expensive artificial lung ECMO to maintain his life. At 22:00, news of his death came out, which was reported by many media. Later, the hospital said that he was still in the process of rescue. At 24:00, the visiting nurses in and out said that it was no good, but they were still in the process of rescue. At two o'clock on the morning of the 7th, an expert went in for consultation, and Dr. Li's colleagues, who had been waiting outside the door, followed in.

Two minutes later, the colleague came out. Caixin asked him how Dr. Li was. He bowed his head deeply and left without saying a word.

Before his death, Dr. Li Wenliang also said that after his recovery, he would still go to the front line. Now the epidemic is still spreading, and he does not want to be a deserter.

Unfortunately, he is no longer on the front line, but no one will accuse him of being a deserter.

This is an epidemic of terror that has swept through, killing countless people, breaking up families and suffering from serious diseases.

Many things have happened, many heroes have fought for our country, many serious problems have been found, and we have learned a lot. The case of Dr. Li Wenliang is one of them.

From the very beginning of our indiscriminate criticism of "rumors" to now, we have begun to reflect on how to distinguish these "rumors"?

What rumors can be tolerated, and what rumors must be severely punished?

Everyone, because of their different cognitive level, has different cognition of the same thing. Once spread out, some of the differences become "rumors". No matter how smart people are, they will produce some "rumors" because of the poor information. We should give some tolerance to the rumor of this level, judging from whether it is subjective with malice and whether it causes bad influence.

As the article of the Supreme People's court said: "if the public listened to this" rumor "at that time, and took measures such as wearing masks, strictly disinfecting and avoiding going to the wild animal market based on the panic of SARS, it may be a blessing for us to better prevent and control the new type of pulmonary inflammation today."

And the essence of rumors comes from the fact that information is not public. At first, the source of people's panic was that some information disseminated from the local hospital in Wuhan confirmed that this event was extremely serious, but the conclusion released at that time was still "limited person to person" and did not disclose the real information. It is also because of this unknown that countless people start to panic and spread all kinds of possible "rumors" to protect the safety of people around them

Really wait until the back is completely transparent, on the contrary, people start not to panic, but unite to resist pneumonia. Mount Huoshen and mount Leishen have sprung up. Countless materials have been donated from all over the country to Hubei and Wuhan. Doctors from all over the country have gone to the front to support them. People all over the country are locked up and cut off the transmission of the virus.

Although the number of people infected is still increasing, this is due to the negligence of all people before, leading to the full spread of the source of infection. According to caixin.com, 345 cities were infected on February 6, but there were no new cities infected with coronavirus, indicating that isolation has achieved remarkable results. If we do it earlier and isolate all the infected people in Wuhan, the epidemic will not be so serious at all.

Once the information is made public, although the problem is much more serious than SARS, people are not so panicked as before.

This also confirms that the biggest panic is not from destruction, but from the unknown.In the face of the unknown, everyone is afraid.

This epidemic, with its cruel reality, reminds us of those who have forgotten the horror of infectious diseases and the greatest natural enemy of us, who are favored by modern medical treatment, is still the God of plague and infectious diseases. Since the records of human beings, the total number of human beings who died in wars, vicious events and struggles is less than the total number of human beings who died in infectious diseases.

The black death in Europe has taken one third of the population of the whole Europe, and all parts are covered with corpses. In ancient China, there were countless epidemics, and each rise was the death of tens of millions of people. Today, more than ten million people still die of infectious diseases every year, accounting for 25% of the total deaths (according to the data of the World Health Organization).

Only when we have a deep understanding of this can we understand that the priority of infectious diseases or epidemics is higher than everything else, and that they are on the same level as nuclear weapons and famine. After the emergence of infectious diseases, everything we do is to give way to control the epidemic, including economy, industry, military, politics, entertainment This is what our country does,

Countless factories have novel coronavirus, numerous soldiers support the front line, numerous people obey the command, isolated at home, numerous officials and various decrees, and countless doctors whistle for early warning, fight the front line, and resist the new coronavirus pneumonia. Time will tell us that these sacrifices are worth it.

Just like Dr. Li Wenliang's sacrifice, it also taught us a lot of things and how to better fight against the epidemic.

As Chang'an sword said before, anyone who deliberately delays reporting or conceals the report because of his own private interests and endangers people's health is a historical sinner.

Accordingly, those who have made contributions to the health of the people, or even given their lives, should also be remembered in the history.

A hero deserves immortality.
