ER Doctor : 4 patients caught lying about their Mainland visits in one shift and other observations
[From Facebook: Ask Dr Friend - Dr. Giraffe, 2020/01/26 ]
Just off from work, this is the first day that I got back to work in the battlefield since the epidemic situation deteriorated significantly. Here, I will share some observations and updates as a frontline staff.
Frontline medical staff are already overwhelmed
The situation kept changing so quickly, and information was so chaotic. During the work day, I kept getting ''real-time'' updates on guidelines changes. I would barely have finished checking on two patients before getting updates on WhatsApp about where new cases should be assigned.

Li Ka Shing Foundation ordered N95 filter masks for medical staff in Hong Kong.
Since the Hong Kong government has been incapable of proscuring masks for the population, the problem of mask shortage persisted in Hong Kong.
From political groups, NGO, restaurants to individuals, those who managed to source masks distributed masks, sometimes, for free and sometimes, at a cost.
While the borders with China remain open, the demand for masks would continue in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Patients’ Rights Association Disagrees with Pro-Beijing Camp for Condemning Medical Staff on Strike
On 19 February 2020, some members of the pro-Beijing camp otganized a press conference for the "victims of the medical strike" where family members of some patients criticised the medical staff for going on strike and claimed that they would sue the participating medical workers.
Nevertheless, the Hong Kong Patients’ Rights Association, a group advocating the rights of patients, held a different opinion. The Association disagreed with these actions brought about by the pro-Beijing camp, they found it unreasonable to conclude without due process by putting the blame on medical workers.
In addition, the Association pointed out that if a patient’s medical accident was due to the shortage of medical staff, the problem lies with the Hospital Authority. The defendant should be “Hong Kong Hospital Authority”, not the medical staff who went on strike.

Hong Kong Doctor uses animal characters to promote public health
The workload of medical staff has increased drastically since the spread of Wuhan pneumonia to Hong Kong. A doctor in Hong Kong has taken her break time to create illustrations with health advice, and work with Sham Shui Po District Council to promote personal hygiene and other health precautions during this coronavirus outbreak.
In the illustrations, a gorilla is shown washing hands, and a leopard is wearing a mask. Together with six other animals they form a team promoting useful anti-epidemic information in doctor's uniforms.
Dr Lucci Liyeung is the illustrator and an orthopaedic surgery resident in a public hospital. She has always been in love with drawing, and created these animal characters several years ago. She wishes to address the public's concerns over the epidemic with her illustrations.

During the large-scale clashes at Polytechnic University (PolyU) last November, where Hong Kong Police laid siege to protesters trapped on the campus, a large number of volunteer first aid workers and paramedics were arrested on charges of rioting. British surgeon Dr. Darren Mann, who was on campus that day, gave an account of it in an article in The Lancet, the world’s leading medical journal, in which he slammed the police's actions as "almost unheard of in civilized countries", and asserted that the city has fallen into a humanitarian crisis.

In Memory of Dr. Joanna Tse Who Sacrificed Herself to Save SARS Patients 17 Years Ago
The SARS outbreak in 2003 took the lives of eight medical workers in Hong Kong. Also a type of coronavirus, SARS was first carried to Hong Kong by a man from China in February. The SARS disease, with a much higher mortality rate than COVID 19, had traumatized the population in Hong Kong.
On 13 May 2003, Dr Joanna Tse Yuen-man, a pulmonologist at Tuen Mun Hospital, passed away at 35 after volunteering to treat SARS patients.
The other 7 medical workers who passed away were:
- Dr Cheng Ha-yan (Tai Po Hosital)
- Dr Cheung Sik-hin (Private Otolaryngology Doctor)
- Lau Kam-yung (Health Assistant, United Christian Hospital)
- Dr Lau Tai Kwan (Private Paediatrics Doctor)
- Lau Wing-kai (Nurse, Thoracic Medical Department, Tuen Mun Hospital)
- Tang Heung-mei (Health Assistant, United Christian Hospital)
- Wong Kang-tai (Health Assistant, The Prince of Wales Hospital)
17 years later, another type of coronavirus by the name of COVID 19 returned to haunt Hongkongers. In early February, medical workers had initiated a 5-day-strike to urge the government to close the border. They had also did their best in saving those infected with the virus. Without their contribution, Hong Kong would not have been successful in containing the virus.
Let us salute the medical workers who, despite many difficulties and the chance of getting infected themselves, held our line of defense. Zero medical workers have contracted the disease and may it stay that way.
We salute to all medical workers of the world.
