Zhang said that it is worth the hard work to see patients discharged from the hospital after recovering. “We work two night shifts a week on average. Our shift is from 8 pm to 10 am the next day,” said the doctor, who is responsible for the wards during his night shifts.
Currently there are 80 patients in the wards. He does his rounds of the wards once each night. But if there are severely ill patients he checks on them at least three times a night. He also deals with emergency issues including receiving and curing emergency patients and applying emergency treatment to patients.
