Director of the Jinyintan Hospital Zhang Dingyu, who are diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but still working in the front-line to combat the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), showed a positive attitude towards his remaining years in an interview with China Central Television (CCTV).
As the director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, the largest specialist infectious disease hospital in Wuhan, Zhang and his colleagues admitted the first seven patients infected with unidentified pneumonia in late December. In the face of severe shortage of medical resources, Zhang led more than 600 medical staff to combat with new Pneumonia for more than 20 days without holidays. He has to deal with various emergencies every day, leaving only two hours a day for him to take a nap.

Zhang is busy treating patients, but he is also tortured by ALS, and only has five to ten years to live.

Zhang began to realize that there is something wrong with his legs in 2017. After a series of examinations, Zhang was diagnosed with ALS in October 2018.

ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their demise. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, people may lose the ability to speak, eat, move and breathe.

At present, ALS is a incurable disease, but Zhang still bravely took the responsibility to lead the unprecedented battle against a strain of novel coronavirus, which has caused hundreds of deaths in central China's Hubei Province.

"As long as we can cheer up and try to challenge the fate, we can certainly do some thing," said Zhang.

Speaking of his disease, Zhang showed no fear, instead he wants to race against time to make contribution to society.

"Eventually everyone dies, which is very normal. Suddenly someone told me that your destination cannot go too far, so I decided to use the remaining time more efficiently," said Zhang.
