Director Yang was about to praise Doctor Sun when Gao Zhaocheng suddenly interjected with a laugh, “His hand has cramped.”
Could the hand of someone who performed a divine operation cramp? Director Yang was astonished.
Sun Yubo’s arm was indeed stiffened.
It wasn’t where he wanted it to be, so naturally, his arm could only rigidly follow someone else’s instructions.
The Chief Surgeon’s orders? Probably not. The Chief Surgeon was too busy, and if there were any problems, it would be quicker to scold the Mirror Assistant.
Sun Yubo’s gaze, from the corner of his eye, poked insistently at Xie Wanying’s face: when did you become so formidable?
Teacher Xiao Sun caught Xie Wanying’s eye.
Close to Teacher Xiao Sun’s ear, Xie Wanying quickly explained her guidance: “You see, every individual’s anatomy has personal variations. This patient’s ligaments may be looser because of years of dance practice, creating a special spot that, when pushed, allows the laparoscopic device to closely follow. A thirty-degree angle shines through just right, encompassing the corner’s field of vision.”
No wonder when he couldn’t think of where to place the light for the Chief Surgeon, and the student suggested this spot, his following the motion turned out to be a divine operation.
Hearing her explanation, Sun Yubo thought of the anatomical drawings she made the other day that dazzled everyone; indeed, she hadn’t let them down in today’s surgery.
“What’s going on?” Director Yang asked for an explanation from the two experts beside him.
“Bold yet meticulous is one of the basic qualities of a surgeon,” Shen Jinghui spoke up at last, indicating that he too was stirred by the sight, though he spoke quietly as if he didn’t want others to overhear.
Director Yang adjusted his glasses: Was Director Shen praising the intern? That would be unprecedented. Everyone knows Shen Jinghui is very strict.
Looking again, Gao Zhaocheng gave a slight nod, evidently in agreement with Shen Jinghui.
They saw that Xie Wanying was a female medical student. Female doctors have an advantage in being meticulous, but they’re often constrained by timidity, prone to hesitancy and dragging their feet in operations, which isn’t liked by the surgical ‘bosses’.
This newcomer, Xie Wanying, was performing differently from others, confidently surpassing the male students in guiding the Mirror Assistant to carry out tricky maneuvers. She had enough courage, and her attention to detail startled the senior Mirror Assistant.
There’s a difference between being bold yet meticulous and being reckless. The prerequisite lies in the grasp of medical fundamentals. This tests the true strength of a medical student. It seems she’s so familiar with the patient’s anatomical structures that it could be some kind of talent?
Reading her like a book, Gao Zhaocheng’s eyes carried profound meaning as he gazed at his junior sister’s silhouette before looking at his own senior brother who was the director, with renewed considerations for his leadership role.
Now the question was, why was this junior sister assigned to follow Tan Kelin? Gao Zhaocheng’s mind raced with displeasure at the thought.
Seeing Sun Yubo adapting swimmingly under her guidance, he directly said to Xie Wanying, “You could guide my hand again.”
Xie Wanying understood her assignment from Teacher Xiao Sun. The surgeries were approaching several difficult points that required even more accurate path guidance, just as Teacher Tan had said, and she needed to assist Teacher Sun.
The surgery progressed to expose the enormous tumor.
It was different from the previous CT and other examination results; the tumor was estimated to be 2 centimeters larger once removed. An extra 2 centimeters was a major issue. It brought the definition of the tumor closer to being highly malignant.
“This position is obviously very difficult to cut,” said Director Yang, who was not a clinical doctor but certainly understood enough to be worried for the patient.
That it was difficult to cut was known pre-surgery by many who had been paying attention to this case due to the tricky location, being a low-lying tumor.
