Medical staff are forcibly quarantined… Silicon Valley female scholar “choked to death by phlegm” Alumni sigh: Mental disease prevention kills people | INTERNATIONAL | CTWANT

The epidemic situation in Shanghai in mainland China is severe. The authorities announced a “semi-closed city” from March 28 in an attempt to curb the continued spread of the epidemic. However, as the medical treatment capacity can gradually become overwhelmed, medical tragedies have been reported one after another. A top female student who graduated from Tsinghua University was forced to isolate because of the medical staff who was originally in charge of caring, and finally “suffocated to death in a conscious state” without any assistance to suction sputum.

According to Lu media reports, an article “Unnatural deaths of two Tsinghua alumni under the Shanghai epidemic” recently went viral on Weibo. Among them, Li Chang, who was suffocated to death by phlegm, graduated from the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University in 1992. She studied in the United States and worked in Silicon Valley. She has two children. She settled in Shanghai with her entrepreneurial husband in 2018, but eventually died there due to medical negligence. The article mentioned that Li Chang was hospitalized for a sudden cerebral hemorrhage last year. She was in good condition after surgery, but unexpectedly became a victim of the epidemic.

Since there were confirmed patients in Li Chang’s medical center, everyone “including the nursing staff” was forced to quarantine, but the authorities did not dispatch reinforcements to care for the patients in the hospital, and even prohibited family members from taking care of relatives and friends in the hospital, forcing Li Chang’s husband and other family members of patients in the nursing center launched a joint resistance, but they were taken away by the police. Although the authorities dispatched reinforcements afterwards, “a nurse has to take care of more than a dozen patients”, and the nurse in charge of taking care of Li Chang “can’t suck phlegm”, which led to the tragedy.

The insider pointed out that although Li Chang is in good condition and his consciousness is quite clear after the operation, he has not yet recovered his language skills and cannot express his situation to the medical staff. In addition, the nurses are not familiar with phlegm extraction, which caused Li Chang to be blocked in a sober state. The phlegm in the trachea suffocates alive. Shortly after Li Chang’s death, someone exposed the whole process in the “Shanghai Tsinghua Alumni Group”, and some alumni criticized: “It was a psychotic epidemic prevention that killed Li Chang!” matter to respond.
