WANZHOU, March 1 (Xinhua) -- Huang Xia, 37, is the attending physician of intensive medicine in Chongqing Three Gorges Central Hospital.

On January 22, Huang Xia was urgently assigned to the severe pneumonia ward of the novel coronavirus to participate in clinical treatment.

During this period, Huang Xia goes to the intensive care unit every day to check patients' condition and adjust the treatment plan according to patients' clinical symptoms. In Huang Xia's view, medical staff and patients are close comrade-in-arms and need to work together to overcome the epidemic.

On January 29, a patient diagnosed with the novel coronavirus pneumonia cured by Huang Xia and her colleagues was discharged from hospital. This was also the first patient infected with novel coronavirus being successfully cured and discharged after treatment in Chongqing.

On Feb. 19, after rescuing two patients who are in critical condition, Huang Xia felt sick and nearly passed out due to anoxia.

The hospital arranged her to rest and provided physical examination and psychological counselling for her. But she insisted on going back to work after two days' rest. She went back to work on Feb. 28 after a careful examination.
