00:00:15.985 --> 00:00:19.120 
While millions of hearts are turning
towards the home of reunion, 

00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:20.545 
at Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, 

00:00:20.965 --> 00:00:23.885 
the task of working is still as hurried
as if there has never been a Tet holiday. 

00:00:24.605 --> 00:00:29.146 
Every day, the Hospital's emergency and
daytime treatment center receives nearly 

00:00:29.146 --> 00:00:30.385 
200 emergency cases. 

00:00:30.805 --> 00:00:34.205 
That heat is even more fierce when
entering the peak Tet days. 

00:00:34.705 --> 00:00:38.465 
With Dr. Quach Van Kien, nearly 20 years
dedicated to the profession, 

00:00:38.805 --> 00:00:41.425 
he has almost not had a complete Tet with his family. 

00:00:41.985 --> 00:00:45.385 
In the early spring days, when traffic
accidents and domestic accidents increase, 

00:00:45.385 --> 00:00:48.900 
The volume of parks is bustling, the
pressure is heavy on each 

00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:50.365 
shift at the Emergency Center. 

00:00:51.044 --> 00:00:55.831 
On duty during Tet days, not only does
the number of patients decrease, but it 

00:00:55.831 --> 00:00:58.384 
usually increases a lot
compared to normal days. 

00:00:58.944 --> 00:01:03.864 
Especially there is overload for
patients related to trauma, nerves, 

00:01:03.864 --> 00:01:06.324 
spine, skull and digestive patients. 

00:01:06.404 --> 00:01:10.312 
Especially in intensive care areas, we
have to receive patients with very 

00:01:10.312 --> 00:01:14.219 
severe multiple injuries and the rate of
patients requiring intensive care is 

00:01:14.219 --> 00:01:16.824 
very high and causes
overload in these areas. 

00:01:16.824 --> 00:01:23.038 
I am a column 1 doctor who is assigned
by the hospital to be in charge of all 

00:01:23.038 --> 00:01:24.764 
duty collections within 24 hours. 

00:01:25.164 --> 00:01:29.114 
Therefore, the task of deploying
emergency examination and treatment as 

00:01:29.114 --> 00:01:34.249 
well as transferring patients in the
operating room as well as resolving work 

00:01:34.249 --> 00:01:37.804 
in the hospital within 24
hours is very important. 

00:01:38.345 --> 00:01:41.981 
As for specialist doctor 2 Pham Phuc
Khanh, 17 years of professional 

00:01:41.981 --> 00:01:44.405 
experience is also associated
with Tet duty shifts. 

00:01:45.025 --> 00:01:48.907 
For him, Tet duty is not only a
responsibility but also very personal 

00:01:48.907 --> 00:01:52.192 
emotions when witnessing patients
crossing the gate of death, when seeing 

00:01:52.192 --> 00:01:53.685 
family members bursting into tears. 

00:01:54.338 --> 00:01:59.467 
Tet duty is not exactly sacrifice, nor
is it exactly responsibility, but it is 

00:01:59.467 --> 00:02:02.398 
something, it is really a memory, a joy. 

00:02:03.078 --> 00:02:08.090 
When I am dedicated to the hospital,
dedicated to the people, sacrificing the 

00:02:08.090 --> 00:02:10.018 
Tet holiday with my family, 

00:02:10.018 --> 00:02:16.171 
come here to breastfeed patients, to
ensure that everyone has good health, to 

00:02:16.171 --> 00:02:18.538 
ensure that everyone celebrates Tet. 

00:02:18.718 --> 00:02:21.278 
Well, if everyone celebrates Tet
happily, then doctors, we also celebrate Tet happily. 

00:02:22.097 --> 00:02:26.137 
Besides the doctors, the team of nurses
is still silently by the hospital bed. 

00:02:26.597 --> 00:02:29.648 
If the doctor makes a life-or-death
decision, then the nurses are the ones 

00:02:29.648 --> 00:02:31.057 
who dedicate their heart and soul, 

00:02:31.377 --> 00:02:33.657 
taking care of patients throughout Tet days away from home. 

00:02:34.236 --> 00:02:39.056 
This Tet, I am on duty on the 3rd day,
usually on the 3rd day, which is also 

00:02:39.056 --> 00:02:43.609 
very crowded with patients, but on that
day, if I am on duty, there are only 10 

00:02:43.609 --> 00:02:47.894 
to 15 people and each position has only
2 people, and many times when there are 

00:02:47.894 --> 00:02:50.036 
many patients, it is impossible to do it. 

00:02:50.216 --> 00:02:53.829 
Many times I am tired but still have to
try because my family supports me, so 

00:02:53.829 --> 00:02:57.216 
when I come out, I am also more assured
to work, more assured to work. 

00:02:58.362 --> 00:03:01.515 
When people are gathering for spring
gatherings with their families, the 

00:03:01.515 --> 00:03:05.242 
people in white robes still quietly
stay, fulfilling the mission of reviving lives. 

00:03:05.722 --> 00:03:09.882 
They are the ones who keep the spring
rhythm for life with kindness and responsibility.
