Though COVID had upended life in most other parts of the world, our life in Taiwan had remained relatively peaceful. However, it seemed just a moment later we found ourselves swept up in a COVID storm.<\/p><p>In the second half of May and early part of June, Taiwan recorded a daily average of 400 to 500 new infections. Six thousand people were diagnosed with the coronavirus in less than two weeks. Most of the new cases were reported in Taipei and New Taipei City. Ambulance sirens were heard day and night, stirring up panic and anxiety. I\u2019m very thankful to our Tzu Chi volunteers for helping us set up an outdoor COVID screening station near the entrance of our hospital in as short as two days and nights. This was in response to a huge demand for tests. Many people tested positive at that screening station.<\/p><p>Though we had set up COVID care units early on during the pandemic, we soon ran short of space. We decided to expand our facilities to accommodate more COVID patients, but with the epidemic raging, it was difficult to find workers willing to come into the hospital to set up more COVID care units for us. A shortage of building materials compounded our difficulties. Fortunately, Tzu Chi volunteer Lin Qing-hua (\u6797\u9752\u83ef) brought his workers to our hospital to help us out. Even his daughter came to help. Lin was injured in the rush to get the facilities finished, but after his wound was bandaged, he went right on working. With the help of Lin and his team, our second intensive care unit (ICU), with a capacity of 33 beds, was soon completed for severely ill COVID patients.<\/p><p>We started taking part in a daily videoconference on May 23 with the team at Tzu Chi headquarters in Hualien that was coordinating and organizing the foundation\u2019s anti-coronavirus efforts. Master Cheng Yen reminded us almost every day to be sure to properly wear our protective gear when we took care of patients. \u201cYou must be well protected to protect others,\u201d the Master said time and again. I could feel how worried she was about our safety.<\/p><p>I reiterated to my coworkers during our anti-coronavirus meetings at our hospital that it was our duty as health professionals to rise to this COVID challenge and do our best. I told everyone that behind every patient was a family and that we could prevent many heartbreaks by doing our best to save lives.<\/p><p>By September, we had cared for 456 COVID patients, 166 of whom had been admitted into the ICU. Some older patients suffered from severe shortness of breath; they felt very tired and decided against resuscitation. One such patient was a man in his 90s. Refusing to be intubated, he breathed his last beside his son, who was in his 70s and also a COVID patient. Some patients received phone calls from other hospitals informing them of the deaths of their family members. All they could do was cry into their cell phones\u2014they couldn\u2019t even go to their loved ones\u2019 deathbeds. They didn\u2019t know if they themselves would live to see tomorrow. There is no way to overstate the level of sadness and heartbreak brought on by this pandemic.<\/p><p>One of the patients admitted into our hospital was an 85-year-old man. He loved his wife very much. Despite being hard of hearing and nearly blind, he visited a store near Lungshan Temple in Wanhua, Taipei, to buy steamed stuffed buns for his wife, who had just had knee replacement surgery and was recuperating at home. Little did the man know he was exposing himself to grave danger. (Wanhua was on its way to becoming a COVID hotspot\u2014some people there had already contracted the coronavirus at the time but didn\u2019t know it.) After his trip to Wanhua, he was diagnosed with COVID. Because his family couldn\u2019t tend to his needs at his bedside, the nurses at our hospital became like granddaughters to him, giving him support and cheering him on. The man told our nurses: \u201cI must beat this illness. I have a wife to take care of.\u201d<\/p><p>Despite his strong will to live, his blood oxygen level and blood pressure plummeted one night. A nurse set his cell phone up so he could talk to his family. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, grandpa,\u201d a family member said. \u201cWe\u2019ll take good care of grandma.\u201d He passed away that weekend.

It was the same at our hospital. Even so, text messages appealing for help never stopped coming in. Seeing how jam-packed our ER was, I suddenly had an idea: \u201cLet\u2019s turn all available wards into ERs.\u201d So, just like that, we started sending people who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 to our wards for first aid. My reasoning was that with each patient we took in, we might be able to save one more person from the clutches of death.<\/p><p>A 27-year-old COVID patient had kidney issues and needed dialysis. He was also mentally and physically disabled. He had not had dialysis in two weeks when our medical staffers discovered him outside the emergency room. We put him on dialysis that night. Just a few days later, the young patient\u2019s condition had worsened to the point where he needed to be intubated and receive intensive care. We continued to provide dialysis after he was transferred to the ICU. Fortunately, his age gave him an advantage in his battle against COVID, and he was eventually transferred back into a regular COVID ward. He didn\u2019t have family around. The head nurse at his ward not only administered dialysis treatment but washed his hair and body, taking care of him as if he were her son. It wasn\u2019t until he was about to be discharged that a social worker at our hospital located his family. Sadly, his father had been unemployed for years and couldn\u2019t take care of him. Arrangements were thus made for the young man to be placed in a nursing home.<\/p><p>In late May, a COVID-19 positive expectant mother, 32 weeks into her pregnancy, underwent Caesarean surgery in the positive-negative pressure operating room in our hospital. This had been her first pregnancy, but the joy of being with her first child was compromised by COVID. Her family members had all gone into isolation; she had arrived at our hospital alone with some simple luggage. It was easy to imagine her uneasiness and anxiety.<\/p><p>Our medical team called an emergency family meeting for her. Health professionals from obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, and pediatrics met her family online and assured them she would receive their best care at our hospital. \u201cWe see her as our family member,\u201d the team said. Uncertain if she would live to see her baby, the expectant mother recorded something for her baby before she was intubated.<\/p><p>On the day of the Caesarean surgery, a premature newborn weighing 1,565 grams was brought into the world amidst everyone\u2019s best wishes. The mother and daughter had both fared well. The first thing the mother did when she woke up was pick up her tablet computer to look at her baby. The love she had for her baby was really something to behold. Happily, they later both made it out of our hospital safe and healthy.<\/p><p>On May 28, something happened that left an indelible impression on our medical workers. Early that morning, a man\u2019s heartrending, thunderous cries were heard coming out from a COVID-19 care unit. The man\u2019s father had just died of COVID in another hospital. The two were very close; the man\u2019s mother had passed away when he was three years old, so he had been brought up alone by his father. About seven or eight years earlier, he had even donated part of his liver to his father. It broke the man\u2019s heart that his father had survived the major liver transplant surgery only to succumb to the pandemic. Our nurses comforted him as best they could. They encouraged him to be strong for his three-year-old son, who was waiting for him to recover and come home. When the man was about to be discharged, he said he was deeply grateful for the care given to him by our medical team.<\/p><p>Another man, Mr. Cheng, 49, had long taken care of his mother, who was a dialysis patient. The two of them and Mr. Cheng\u2019s sister contracted the coronavirus one after another. When Cheng was admitted into our hospital, his mother phoned him from another hospital, saying to him: \u201cWe\u2019re together in this fight. Let\u2019s do our best to get well.\u201d Sadly, she passed away some time later.<\/p><p>Cheng weighed 134 kilograms (295 pounds) and suffered from diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. His lungs turned white as his COVID condition deteriorated. He was moved into the ICU and put on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (better known as ECMO, a machine that takes over the work of the lungs and heart.) He even developed septic shock, but eventually recovered and made it out of the hospital. He said his time in the ICU was like being in a dream. All he could remember was Dr. Su Wen-lin (\u8607\u6587\u9e9f), director of the internal medicine ICU, performing phlegm suction procedures on him and wiping away his tears, and nurses cleaning him up after he had diarrhea.<\/p><p>Cheng\u2019s sister said that her father used to donate 300 New Taiwan dollars (US$10) every month to Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital as a gesture of support, but she had no idea Tzu Chi had a hospital in Taipei too. \u201cI often received Dr. Su\u2019s emergency phone calls at night during my brother\u2019s hospitalization,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was as if the director didn\u2019t need to sleep at all.\u201d She expressed wishes that she and her brother could also help others in the future, just like what Tzu Chi volunteers had been doing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-94996eb elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"94996eb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f882fba\" data-id=\"f882fba\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-045d3cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"045d3cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/\u5f9e\u5fc3\u51fa\u767c\u628a\u611b\u50b3\u51fa\u53bb_210629_2-\u54f2\u4fee.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/\u5f9e\u5fc3\u51fa\u767c\u628a\u611b\u50b3\u51fa\u53bb_210629_2-\u54f2\u4fee.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/\u5f9e\u5fc3\u51fa\u767c\u628a\u611b\u50b3\u51fa\u53bb_210629_2-\u54f2\u4fee-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/\u5f9e\u5fc3\u51fa\u767c\u628a\u611b\u50b3\u51fa\u53bb_210629_2-\u54f2\u4fee-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/\u5f9e\u5fc3\u51fa\u767c\u628a\u611b\u50b3\u51fa\u53bb_210629_2-\u54f2\u4fee-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb4d368 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bb4d368\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Mr. Zhuang, a COVID patient at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital who was about to be discharged, thanked a nurse for taking care of him.

They washed their hair too. \u201cIt\u2019s really nothing,\u201d they said. \u201cWe do that when we have a free moment at night.\u201d Though they made it sound like it was nothing, it took more than an hour to wash a patient\u2019s hair.<\/p><p>Among the COVID patients our hospital took in were people who were addicted to drugs or had dementia. Our medical workers needed to show special patience with these patients and calm them when they were agitated or displayed aggressive behaviors. One of the ways they soothed these patients was reading Jing Si Aphorisms with them. (Jing Si Aphorisms is a collection of short sayings by Master Cheng Yen.) Patients were obviously appreciative of our team\u2019s care for them. When they had recovered and were about to leave our hospital, some of them knelt down before our nurses to express their gratitude, while others took deep bows or gave our staffers big hugs. They had developed family-like bonds with our healthcare providers during their stay in our hospital.<\/p><p>According to media reports, Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital was one of the hospitals in Taiwan that took in the most COVID patients during that outbreak. We were not trying to be heroes, we just wanted to do what we could. What\u2019s most important was that we learned during that critical time how to mindfully put our love into action. We knew Master Cheng Yen was worried about us and all patients. So we reminded each other to take good care of ourselves so we would be available to safeguard the health of every patient.<\/p><p>If we count the patients at our enhanced quarantine hotel, we ended up serving more than 900 patients during that critical period. What\u2019s more, no in-hospital infections occurred. I\u2019m grateful for all our staff\u2019s work. We become stronger when we give. The pandemic will eventually be over, but we won\u2019t forget what we\u2019ve learned. We will use what we\u2019ve learned to make us stronger and better able to assume bigger responsibilities and safeguard lives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1ecf711a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1ecf711a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-29de2896\" data-id=\"29de2896\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-360a26e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"360a26e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/07\/\u82f1\u6587\u9801\u5c3e-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The point of our battle against the coronavirus is not how many patients we have admitted or how many resources we\u2026 <a class=\"text-right\" href=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/?p=28731\"><span class=\"text\">Read More <\/span><span class=\"arrow\">\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28687,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pmpro_default_level":0,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[918],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>We Are Not Heroes - Tzu Chi Bimonthly<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The point of our battle against the coronavirus is not how many patients we have admitted or how many resources we\u2019ve used.
