Hectic working life
Since then, she has worked 8 am to 5 pm most days, but has also rotated to work night shifts. On a normal working day, she makes as many as 50 phone calls, checks more than 40 units and attends numerous emergency consultations. She has only taken one break while on duty, having rested for just 10 minutes at noon on Jan 20, when she had hypoglycemia.
Zhang often attends clinical treatment meetings during the day and conducts related research at night. She keeps thinking about the cases and writing down her thoughts at work, and later shares her experience with front-line doctors.
Her intense schedule is reflected in her log.
"January 19, night shift: I took charge of both the fever clinic and the observation room on the second floor. I began answering consultation calls before it was time for work. From 5 pm to 10:45 pm, there were 24 medical calls," Zhang wrote.
"Of course, I(worked hard) trying to understand the causes and come up with personalized treatment plans for those infected. There could be similarities in the treatment of the unexplained pneumonia. Although we don't have a proven, effective treatment for the coronavirus, it won't stop us from offering all the treatment we can to the patents."
