Chapter 292: 【292】So Teacher Fu is here too Chapter 292: 【292】So Teacher Fu is here too “Ah—” Doctor Kim exhaled deeply, hands on her hips, finding the situation too difficult, far too difficult.
Every time a doctor saves a life, it’s an exceedingly rare and difficult achievement. Saving lives isn’t just about exerting effort; it requires special mental engagement. Being smart isn’t enough; it takes an incredibly strong heart to maintain a mentality that must not, under any circumstances, collapse.
Fear and dread—are not exclusive to medical students; even established doctors experience them. Doctor Kim admitted to herself that she would have been too scared to make the incision, preferring to wait for the thoracic surgery team to arrive for support.
But the thing is, cardiac tamponade doesn’t respond well to heart compressions or similar measures—in medical textbooks, they’re even contraindicated. Pushing on the heart is akin to gambling, with slim hopes akin to comforting oneself a little more.
Knowing that the patient would die without the incision, why didn’t she dare to take a risky shot? If she lacked the technical skill and ended up puncturing the heart, could she face a lawsuit from the family? Merely considering this scenario was enough to deter her and a whole batch of doctors from daring to make the attempt or even contemplate it.
But Xie Wanying did it.
Yes, to gamble doesn’t guarantee success. This is what holds most doctors back. To dare to take the risk is not enough; what’s needed is confidence.
Turning her head, Doctor Kim gazed at Xie Wanying’s youthful face and wondered why this student always managed to do things that surprised, scared, and moved her. There might be just one reason: an unprecedentedly confident female medical student!
Behind her, hearing Senior Cao speak, Xie Wanying was a bit confused, trying to figure out whom he wanted her to hand the items to. Suddenly, a steady figure walked up, pulling on a pair of disposable sterilized gloves and clasping them to ensure a snug fit, and then said to her, “Give them to me.”
Raising her forehead, she saw the same cold and stern face as stern as an iron machine: it was Teacher Fu, whom she had seen before.
Shock: When had Teacher Fu arrived?
And Senior Cao? How many teachers had come to the scene?
Xie Wanying felt her confidence waver a little, as she wondered if she had made a presumptuous display of her skills before a group of technically adept teachers?
If she had known the teachers were coming, she definitely would have handed over the syringe needle for the teachers to operate on the patient instead of doing it herself.
Noticing the sudden flicker of nervousness in her eyes, Fu Xinheng guessed what she might be thinking, slightly raising his eyebrows: so she wasn’t trying to show off or be presumptuous when she decided to perform the puncture?
It seems she did it because she had no choice.
It confirmed what he had perceived during the last incident. She was indeed one of the smartest medical students he had seen, yet bold and cautious, a rare combination. Otherwise, she would not have caught his attention.
Turning his head, Fu Xinheng glanced at the curves and historical data on the monitoring equipment, confirming once again that her puncture was performed in an emergency situation.
This confirmation was crucial, as it would determine what kind of person this medical student was.
It was about distinguishing between arrogance and a genuine effort to save a life at all costs.
One should know that when he arrived to see the syringe needle already in the patient’s chest, he, the Robot, was so shocked he almost took off, probably sharing the same thought process as any other teacher who should have been present.
Although terrified, as a teacher, one must maintain composure. Thus, his first reaction was to stop Doctor Kim, wanting to assess the situation with the needle first.
The patient’s heart rate had dropped to a reasonable range, and the low blood pressure was understandable considering the car crash likely caused more than one injury.
