On January 20, Wang Yang, a doctor at Wuhan Central Hospital, was diagnosed with COVID-19. After healing, he plans to return to the front line in the near future. On February 28, he was treated at the Stomatology Hospital of Wuhan University, which relieved his toothache.
Wang Yang is an orthopedist in the Houhu District of Wuhan Central Hospital. On January 20, he was unfortunately diagnosed with COVID-19. After fighting the virus, he was discharged from hospital on February 5 and 10 after having two negative results from nucleic acid tests.
After resting at home for a while, Wang Yang was ready to return to the front line to work, but his toothache was unbearable. His teeth became more and more painful, and his face began to swell gradually. Three days later, Wang Yang could not hold on, and came to the general department of Wuhan University Stomatology Hospital. The doctors learned that Wang Yang had the history of COVID-19, and immediately told the outpatient Dr. Zhang Yu, who then reported the situation to the medical office.
The medical office comprehensively considered various factors of the oral diagnosis and treatment during the epidemic period, and decided to conduct oral examination and treatment for him in the isolation clinic. In the isolation clinic, Head Nurse Du Yi instructed medical staff to put on protective clothing, conduct three-level protection, and assist in the preparation of oral medical supplies.
With full protective dressing, Zhang Yu entered the isolation clinic and started an oral examination for Wang Yang. Zhang Yu diagnosed him as having acute coronary disease. After receiving the treatment of rinse and medicine, Zhang Yu explained to Wang Yang the follow-up precautions in detail. Zhang Yu said. "In this battlefield without smoke, the medical staff of both the Central Hospital and the Stomatology Hospital are comrades-in-arms."
"Thank you for the doctor who treated me today. I feel much better now." Wang Yang said in a telephone call today. He also thanked the Stomatology Hospital of Wuhan University for providing him with considerate, reassuring and comfortable services. He is ready to return to the front line.
