Tang Yuxin also followed behind the nurse who walked very quickly, almost breaking into a jog to keep up.
Upon their arrival, they were greeted by the heart-wrenching cries of a child's relative outside the door. It was unclear whether it was the grandmother or the step-grandmother, but one of them had collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
Inside, they saw a little girl lying there, the very child Tang Yuxin had diagnosed with pneumonia the day before.
Tang Yuxin approached and saw on the monitor that the squiggly line representing the heart rate had flattened.
"Is this, is it over?"
Tang Yuxin took another step closer and placed her hand on the child's neck. There was no heartbeat, and resuscitation had already been attempted.
"Dr. Tang, the emergency doctor shook her head at her. We've done all we could."
This was the hospital's first child casualty from the virus infection, merely three or four years old.
