Chapter 164: 【164】The robot’s nickname isn’t for nothing
At first, Doctor Kim was loudly insisting for someone to quickly perform a puncture to relieve the patient’s gas, but when it actually came to making the decision to let a trainee do it, she couldn’t.
It was too terrifying.
Doctors Yang and Lin were thinking rapidly: Xin Heng, this “Robot,” actually made such a swift decision. Didn’t he think about the fact that if anything went wrong, this student’s career could be ruined?
Puncture was not like performing cardiac compressions; puncture was an invasive procedure, and one slight misstep— if the needle went to the wrong spot in the body— it would be over.
Doctor Kim suddenly turned around, quickly stood in front of Doctors Yang and Lin, and asked, “Have you ever seen her perform a puncture in a clinical setting?”
Doctors Yang and Lin shook their heads. If they had seen Xie Wanying do it before, they wouldn’t be as worried as Doctor Kim, nearly out of their minds with concern.
Oh my, Doctor Kim inwardly wailed. It was not easy to find a promising female junior like herself, and now her potential was about to be ruined. What should she do? She turned back around, her eyes fixed on Fu Xinheng: Stop him!
It was no use, that man’s eyes were too terrifying, as cold and merciless as ice. Nothing she said would make a difference. He would definitely prefer to have a student take the risk of losing their future prospects as long as it could save the patient.
Doctor Kim’s hand was on her chest; she was breathing heavily.
She could feel that if she dared to speak out and object, the man opposite her would pose a soul-searching question: Do you want them to just watch the patient die?
Doctor Kim could only turn away, wishing in her heart that she had Doraemon’s time-travel door to instantly transport herself to the student’s side and take the risk in their place.
Seeing that Doctor Kim dared not speak out, Fu Xinheng turned back. He had been intently listening to every sound on the other end of the phone, including the increasingly labored breathing of the patient, sounding like a thread about to snap, instantly lost.
In such extremely difficult circumstances, his duty as a surgeon was to use every means available to have the onsite personnel act on his behalf to render precise aid to the patient.
To provide accurate aid, the on-site female trainee needed to become like his mechanical arm, following his commands to the letter with no margin for error.
The test had come. And with that, he felt some confidence, which stemmed from the strange expressions on Cao Yong and the others last night.
If his judgement was correct, the female trainee was Ren Chongda’s student. Ren Chongda was renowned as the Sect Leader of the medical school’s anatomy department. Anatomy is the foundation of all surgeries. With a good grasp of anatomy, based on the interrelatedness between clinical operations and anatomical techniques, a student excelling in anatomical procedures would likely excel in clinical operations. This was something he, as a former surgical medical student, knew very well.
If she was indeed one of Ren Chongda’s top students, it was worth taking a bet on her.
“Do you know what the first step you need to do now is?”
The phone continued to transmit that icy, robotic voice from the other end, and Doctor Yang wasn’t making any sound anymore. This further confirmed her previous guess, Xie Wanying inferred further: This teacher was even more formidable and was likely Doctor Yang’s superior.
What she needed to do was, “Teacher, please issue your instructions.”
Hearing her response, Xin Heng felt a pang of surprise.
Many students who receive praise easily become smug and overconfident, not caring what the teacher says and taking action themselves if they feel capable. He had thought this female trainee would have the same problem. Because according to what Doctor Lin and the others said, she took the initiative last night to start performing cardiac compressions on a patient.
