What makes Professor Dong of Wuhan, China, even more admirable is that aside from having been retired for many years, he is already using a wheelchair because he can’t stand up and walk. But when the novel coronavirus hit the city, he was among those who volunteered to help despite the possibility that he could also contact the highly contagious virus and die!

As the Wuhan virus spread quickly across the city, infecting plenty of travelers who also brought the virus to other parts of China and even to many parts of the world, medical workers in Wuhan hospitals are getting stressed out from taking care of too many patients. There are so many affected by the virus that Wuhan hospitals are overflowing with patients and some even had to share beds.

Upon hearing that some of the doctors have been infected and others were collapsing out of fatigue, Professor Dong decided to help out. He went to Wuhan Children’s Hospital where he served as pediatrician for decades.

This selfless doctor tirelessly treated young patients, even though he was on a wheelchair. Every bit of help counts – and the other doctors were thankful for his presence and help. Since Wuhan declared a lockdown on Thursday, January 23, the good doctor has treated over 30 patients a day.

The hospitals are flooded with patients, but Professor Dong helps to make sure that they can save as many lives as possible, even if that meant also putting their own lives in danger.

Kudos to Professor Dong and the countless medical professionals working round the clock to save the patients of the Wuhan outbreak. Thank you for your sacrifice…
