When I worked as a nurse, I was on day duty while my friends were on night duty. On one shift, I remember I sensed something just before going off duty at 11 a.m. I had brought the ward sister (护士长) her morning tea, so I put down the tea tray. The tray rattled and fell through the window. At first I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shook and patients screamed.
I realized that we were in the grips of a tremendous earthquake. I caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened by it. I pushed her under the bed and held the bed in place while I got under it myself. I then pulled a blanket down between us. As soon as it settled, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the lawn, where several other people had now gathered.
I knew the ward sister was with another patient, so I went back inside the building. When I reached the ward sister, I found her patient could not walk. We made a seat for her by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check no one was left behind. Almost all of the patients had been able to get themselves out of our ward (病房), as far as I knew.
Once our ward was cleared, a doctor called for volunteers to go down to the isolation ward (隔离病房) with him to help more people. Another nurse and I went down there. The first thing we saw was a bath in the hallway. We came to the ruined ward. The doctor went in ahead of us through the remains of what had been a doorway. He found one of the nurses partially covered with rubble(碎石). She was still alive so we began to clear the rubble away. Suddenly, the aftershock struck. The doctor ordered us to leave. This brave man intended to stay with the trapped nurse and risk his own life.
