Chapter 179: 【179】She is really bold
Seeing her friend was genuinely afraid of needles, Xie Wanying rolled up her sleeves. Before her rebirth, she had drawn blood in the lab and had some experience. Now, after her rebirth, this was the first time she was drawing blood for someone, so she was extra cautious.
She put on gloves, tied a tourniquet around her friend’s forearm, felt for the veins on the back of her friend’s hand, and said, “If you’re scared, just close your eyes.”
“Are my veins easy to find?” Wu Lixuan asked.
“Yes, they are very easy,” Xie Wanying said honestly, “The veins are elastic and large, they won’t break easily as elderly people’s do, nor are they as small as a baby’s.”
“Hearing you say that, I feel more confident,” Wu Lixuan thought out loud.
Receiving the blood-drawing needle from the nurse, Xie Wanying took advantage of her childhood friend’s turning and talking to insert the needle swiftly into the vein, with the backflow of blood clearly indicating success.
“Done,” Xie Wanying said.
Wu Lixuan lowered her head, “That was fast? I didn’t even cry out in pain.”
“It was very quick. Right, Senior Cao?”
As Xie Wanying secured the blood-drawing needle, she heard an odd sound and turned around to find several people standing behind her. One by one, they had silently watched her administer the injection.
Kang Huizhu waved her hand and said with a smile, “I didn’t scare you, did I?”
How could she not have been scared? Xie Wanying’s heart pounded.
Li Qi’an approached with surprise and asked her, “Since when did you learn how to give injections?”
“Didn’t we give injections to rabbits in anatomy class?” Xie Wanying replied.
“Can it be the same?” Li Qi’an couldn’t wrap his head around it. Rabbits and humans were different; how could giving injections be the same?
“Of course, it’s the same,” Xie Wanying reassured her classmate, “if you don’t believe me, try it yourself.”
Try it himself? Li Qi’an secretly checked his pulse, certain he didn’t have her terrifying courage.
They had just arrived in the clinical setting a few days ago and still didn’t understand much. Watching Xie Wanying skillfully connect the blood-drawing needle to the vacuum blood collection tube, draw blood, then quickly switch to the infusion tube, set the drip rate—a series of smooth actions just like a nurse—he was flabbergasted and now understood why Zhao Zhaowei and the class leader could only watch her with awe.
Kang Huizhu looked at Li Qi’an and Xie Wanying, then turned to Cao Yong and Huang Zhilei, wondering if they were all from the same class.
Huang Zhilei scratched his head: Indeed, the junior sister was very impressive; he had originally thought her classmates would be equally impressive.
“Dr. Xie is different,” the nurse sister concluded, laughing as she carried away the injection tools, and said to Xie Wanying, “Thank you, Dr. Xie.”
“Thank you, sister, for giving me the chance to practice,” Xie Wanying expressed her gratitude.
Not only very intelligent and capable with her hands, but she also got along well with other colleagues. Kang Huizhu realized this junior sister was truly exceptional; no wonder so many people liked her. She walked over and patted the junior sister’s shoulder, “If you need anything, come to me.”
“Yes, Sister,” Xie Wanying responded smartly.
Of course, having agreed to the senior sister, Xie Wanying noticed the displeased looks from two senior brothers.
How brazen of her, studying with two senior brothers from neurosurgery, yet she dared to agree to whatever the senior sister from gastroenterology proposed.
Reading the meaning in her senior brothers’ eyes, Xie Wanying wisely kept her mouth shut.
Kang Huizhu came over, touched the patient’s forehead, and instructed the nurse, “Check her temperature again in half an hour.”
“Understood, Doctor Kang,” the nurse replied.
“I will check it for her later,” Xie Wanying said.
