My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s - Chapter 368

Chapter 368: Chapter 361: Not Suitable to Be a Deserter

Tang Yuxin has had no time to bother with anything lately, as the number of patients is indeed increasing and she’s been busy non-stop all day. By the time she remembers Gu Ning, he has already been discharged from the hospital and Shen Fei has been transferred to the military hospital after his condition stabilized. However, before she could feel any sense of relief, a widespread infection occurred among the doctors.

Many of the patients were diagnosed with SARS, and the health care workers at the hospital were now fully armed. Just as Tang Yuxin had foreseen, their hospital was about to be quarantined.

Just before the quarantine, she saw a camera pointed at her from a distance and she smiled. This wasn’t a smile of despair but one of hope, representing renewal and bravery. In the face of disaster, neither you nor I are alone. We are all together as a nation, our friends are waiting, family is there, and loved ones are waiting too.

So there is no need to be afraid.

“Zhinian, look! It’s your daughter on the screen!”

Ren Li hurriedly called out to Tang Zhinian, who was inside.

Tang Zhinian rushed out and saw on the news that the youngest, bravest smiling figure in the crowd of doctors was his daughter, Yuxin.

“Sister…” Chengcheng, sitting on his mother’s lap, also pointed at the computer screen, shouting from time to time.

“Yes, it’s your sister,” Ren Li was extremely proud, “Son, did you see? Your sister is an excellent doctor. She has made it onto the TV.”

“Will she be in danger?” Tang Zhinian asked, crouching on the ground, worried about his daughter being in jeopardy, knowing the disease is contagious.

“Don’t worry,” Ren Li comforted Tang Zhinian, “Yuxin will not put herself in danger. Besides, she still has you to care for in your old age. Rest assured, she’s been studying medicine since she was very young, she will have her own judgment. If it’s truly dangerous, she definitely won’t put herself in that situation.”

Tang Zhinian nodded, but his heart was far from at ease.

It was even more surprising for Tang Yuxin when provincial and city-level leaders came to praise their family in person. They shook hands with Tang Zhinian, saying how he had raised a good daughter who was now on the frontline, saving people’s lives. Suddenly, Tang Zhinian’s doorstep was bustling with activity, and the price of the big building under construction skyrocketed.

Tang Yuxin had put in all her effort to ensure more safety for her family, and this time, she was successful.

And now, she continues to work at the hospital, wearing heavy protective clothing, checking patients, drawing blood, conducting tests, and administering injections. This is when the number of patients is at its peak, with the severity and risk also at their highest.

Moreover, this was the time when the death rate was highest. Not only on the outside, but even inside the hospital, everyone was in a state of uncertainty.

The big doors of the hospital were tightly shut and fully armed special police stood guard on the outside. The whole hospital was in quarantine, with no one allowed in or out.

Aside from the overwhelming number of patients, there was a serious shortage of healthcare staff.

Some healthcare workers have begun to fall sick and have been quarantined. Two have already been infected.

In the meantime, the Dean was on a call, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead as he assured the caller, “You can rest easy, I will talk to her. She will definitely be fine.”

“Can you guarantee it?” The voice on the other end was stern, with a hint of authoritarianism.

“I guar…”

“What do you guarantee with?” The person on the other side interrupted the Dean’s words again.

“We have finally found a good doctor at the hospital. Where has she ended up now? What if she gets infected? What if something happens? How are you going to bear this responsibility, you tell me! She’s still a student, only twenty years old. How could you bear to put her in such a dangerous place? If she were your daughter, would you be willing? Can you bear it?”

The Dean was utterly rebuked by the military chief.

He wiped the sweat off his brow, he really didn’t mean for this to happen. He initially didn’t think too much about it, just wanting the students to gain some practical experience. But he never expected the outbreak to be so severe that even healthcare personnel have been infected.

He did not blame the hospital’s anger. After finding a talent with great difficulty, if something really happened at this point, the consequence would be severe.

If something happens to him, he’s lived long enough, but Tang Yuxin was merely twenty years old – her life was just beginning, and was bound to be long.

“Teacher, you called for me?” Tang Yuxin walked in, still wearing her protective suit. They were so busy that they seldom took it off their protective suit. They mainly kept them on at night to save time and effort when they later needed to don them for their duties.

“Yuxin, I have a matter to discuss with you,” the more Dean Tao thought about it, the more horrifying it seemed.

“What is it?” Tang Yuxin glanced outside. There were still patients out there; everything was in chaos. She was worried.

“I plan to transfer you and Shi Yuan to another hospital,” Dean Tao had made this decision after much consideration. In any case, these students should not be risking their lives amidst a deadly infection. The best way out being to transfer them to a relatively safer environment.

“I understand what you mean, teacher,” said Tang Yuxin as soon as she heard, knowing that Dean Tao was concerned about them. But she disagreed.

“Teacher, I won’t leave,” she lifted her head with a resolute look in her eyes that wouldn’t change no matter what, “This is my battlefield. I will fight this battle myself. I will not desert, teacher.”
