Chapter 525: [525] Unexpectedly became Chapter 525: [525] Unexpectedly became Liu Chengran stood opposite, observing her decision, and thought to himself, “Could she be trying to emulate the amazing maneuvers of the experienced doctors?”
For a greenhorn with no experience, it’s too difficult. In fact, the best decision for her in the current situation would be to just make the incision without overthinking. Even he would opt for the incision instead of fussing around for a long time with no result.
After all, she’s a girl, maybe her heart softened.
“Time,” Liu Chengran knocked repeatedly to remind her, “Don’t think about how much more time you can delay.”
Surgery has a time limit, the patient’s abdominal cavity is open, it’s not for the surgeon to muse over slowly in the lab for ten or eight days, or even a year. This isn’t research; it’s treating a patient.
“Yes, Teacher!” Xie Wanying replied loudly, holding her breath and clenching her teeth to concentrate on her fingers. If this didn’t work, she could only give up. She must align the intestinal peristalsis images in her brain with her fingers’ movements.
One second, two seconds, three seconds… one minute, finally, suddenly, it loosened, the hernia’s opening relaxed, and a segment of the peristaltic intestine slid out. Once a segment slipped out creating a gap, the rest of the intestine followed suit.
Around the operating table, everyone’s gazes conveyed: Ah!?
The extracted intestine resumed blood flow without issue, and the vessels were intact.
Li Qi’an exhaled with relief: His classmate had succeeded, not letting down the sweat he’d poured over her along the way.
Looking at Teacher Liu Chengran beside him, he seemed to have nothing to say.
In fact, the teacher was also happy inside: Ah, this student really didn’t disappoint their expectations.
“Prepare for suturing,” Xie Wanying spoke calmly to the nurse, reaching for the needle.
The scrub nurse, on the other hand, became flustered and hurriedly passed the needle holder.
Xie Wanying carefully sutured and closed the hernia for the patient. To prevent the patient’s intestines from burrowing back into that spot, writhing and tangling into a knot, and causing another obstruction.
After addressing the pathological area, another scan of the abdominal cavity was conducted, with a gloved hand feeling inside if necessary, to ensure no other pathological sites were missed or hidden issues were all dealt with at once.
After carefully confirming there were no other problems, it was time to close the abdominal cavity.
The surgery had taken two and a half hours at this point.
The patient, a male in his forties, neither fat nor skinny, without any other underlying diseases, had strong vitality. Thus, the difficulty of the surgery was actually low. The clinical instructors were all experienced and had selected this case carefully for her, considering the intern’s actual situation–it definitely wasn’t meant to give her a hard time. Reflecting afterward, Xie Wanying realized that what Senior Cao had said was true: There was no need to be nervous with the teachers there.
After the surgery, Li Qi’an’s hands were numb, and his legs shook a bit as he stepped down from the operating table.
Liu Chengran took off his surgical gown and instructed the two students, “You take care of the patient handover with Teacher Sun. I’m going back.”
With that, he left the operating room in a hurry to report the good news to Tan Kelin.
Having taken off her surgical gown, Xie Wanying turned to the anesthesiologist to express her gratitude, “Thank you for your assistance, Teacher Zhang.”
During the surgery, especially when she was not yet accustomed to the Electrosurgical Unit for hemostasis and the atmosphere was tense, the patient’s indicators showed no significant change, which could be attributed to the efforts of someone.
Turning his head, Zhang Tinghai seemed not to have heard her, and along with the nurses, he was already accompanying the patient to the ward, fulfilling an anesthetist’s duties.
Li Qi’an whispered into his classmate’s ear after hearing the rumors, “Yingying, he’s not scolding you anymore.”
It seemed her being scolded by Doctor Zhang was now common knowledge. Xie Wanying smiled briefly, but it was strange, why wasn’t Doctor Zhang seizing the opportunity to be high and mighty and reprimand her again?
