,要做好防疫準備。俺算staff, 打雜的。雖然不做主力參戰,也得聽吆喝守規矩。
我們辦公的樓層,夾在診所之間,與患者共用電梯和公共通道。誰也不知道,啥時候來個帶病毒的。萬一有個路過的以後確診了,我們這些雜役都得被在家隔離。
牢記祖訓:有備無患。
於是,
下班後去幾個店采購了食物,以凍的為主,回來後放在凍格裏,差不多夠兩人閉關十天吃用了。
去了兩個店才買到可以“滅菌”的洗手液,貨架上隻剩二大瓶和十幾個小瓶了。
目前市麵上沒有可以“消毒”的洗手液,醫用酒精適合物體表麵清理,不能常用於“手”。
前幾年化療時買的醫用口罩還有半盒,醫用手套一盒,將就用吧。
上網定購了碎甘草和空茶袋,準備和糖薑片一起泡,每天早上一杯代茶飲。前兩年冬春季節,每天晨起一片糖薑,在大多數同事紛紛感冒休息時,俺保持全勤。當然,還有黃芪提取物的功勞,再次感謝禦醫的推薦。
俺這兒樓下大廳接待台子上,幾周前就擺上這東東了

Dear COM faculty, staff, residents and students:
In partnership with the State Department of Health, Xxxx is closely monitoring the international developments relating to the COVID-19 virus, in addition to the widespread occurrence of influenza and other respiratory viruses. There are currently NO patients with COVID-19 in The State. However, Xxxx is taking proactive, precautionary steps to ensure there are no compromises in patient care or the safety of our employees or learners.
I want to emphasize the importance of preventing potential exposure of any COM learner – including students, residents and fellows – in the eventuality of having patients with COVID-19 at Xxxx at some point in the future. It is imperative that no learner is involved in the care of such patients in any manner. Particularly, learners should not be present in the rooms of patients diagnosed with or suspected of potentially having COVID-19.
In addition to safeguarding our learners, this separation is important for the conservation of personal protective equipment (PPE). If you are a member of the medical staff, or you are a clinical learner, we ask that you redouble your efforts to avoid wasting PPE. (See the tips at end of this message.) Even in the absence of COVID-19 on campus at this time, clinical education teams should consider limiting the number of team members who gown up to enter patient rooms, as practicable.
The planning and measures we take today are a prudent way to be prepared in the event of a more widespread outbreak in the future.
Meanwhile, we should all remain vigilant to prevent the spread of “ordinary” but potentially dangerous respiratory viruses including the flu. Follow these simple steps: Wash your hands often; make sure you and your loved ones have had your flu shot – or get it; and if you become sick, stay at home and contact your physician.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxxxxxxxx M.D., FACS
Executive Vice Chancellor, Xxxx
Dean, College of Medicine
Xxxxxxx Medical Society Distinguished Dean’s Chair
