多年来,我父母支撑起来的这个家现在落到了我肩上。我只能照顾好自己,不要让他们治疗的时候为我担心。这也是我第一次意识到自己有多爱他们。这段时间以来,我发现有好多人跟我有类似的经历。
The responsibility for our family that lain on my parents' shoulders for years had now passed onto mine. The only thing I could do is to take care of myself and make sure they wouldn't worry about me when they were having treatment. And this is also the first time that I realized how much I love them. Over days and weeks I discovered there are many others who had experiences similar to mine.
自己发烧,入院“观察”
我父母入院后两周,我自己也发烧了,接受了隔离,要医学观察14天。幸好我只是细菌感染,不是新冠肺炎。
About two weeks after my parents went into hospital, I came across a fever and I had to go into quarantine and be put under medical observations for 14 days. Fortunately, my illness turned out to be due to a bacterial infections but not COVID-19.
接受隔离的人们自然都很焦虑。我和其他病人接受隔离时,想到要完全与世隔绝就非常不安,不禁担心自己会不会死在这。
Not surprisingly, those under quarantine were extremely anxious. On the day I and some other patients arrived, some of us felt extremely uneasy about being totally isolated and began to wonder whether this was where we would die.
当时很混乱,医护人手不足,物资也紧缺。虽然医生护士都全副武装,他们布满血丝的眼睛还是透出了疲惫。
Everything was hectic, there seemed to be a shortage of medical staff and materials were in short supply. Even though the doctors and nurses were covered from head to toe, I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes.
他们为了接纳新病人要准备一整天,如果有缺漏还会非常抱歉。绝大多数病人都很理解,当然也有不理解的,还大声抱怨。但医护人员总能尽力冷静应对。
