Chapter 80: Anatomy Anatomy 1
That’s why the school was so keen for Instructor Ren to be a counselor. Just look, ever since he became their counselor and personally took on the dissection classes, demanding fresh cadavers for dissection, their class has ranked first.
Isn’t the clinical department at the hospital always complaining that the eight-year program students lack practical skills? Besides the hospital’s clinical department, the dissection room is the only other place where students can practice with a scalpel. Now, this place is almost exclusively occupied by their class during the extra hours, quiet and undisturbed.
The two senior sisters have gone to the hospital.
Xie Wanying stayed alone in the dormitory for a while, browsing some latest medical information from abroad online to see if it differed from her memory.
In addition, once online, her QQ account would automatically sign in and start “collecting stars and moons.”
In her QQ friends list, she had only added the two senior sisters. She didn’t like to chat on QQ anyway. The two seniors added her to a large group, which was entirely made up of eight-year program students.
No one in the group used their real names in reality, only a series of strange QQ nicknames, which made it difficult for her to recognize anyone. Like the two seniors—He Xiangyu’s QQ nickname was ‘Big Crab’ and Lau Jingyun’s was ‘Male Lion,’ with profile pictures of a big crab and an African male lion respectively. Who could tell they were female.
Medical students and doctors share a common trait of being introverted and reserved. The group was so quiet that only the crows flew by every day.
Taking a notebook and pen, Xie Wanying shut down the computer, unplugged the network cable, and headed to the school’s dissection room.
Upon entering Building C on the third floor, a faint smell of formaldehyde could be detected.
In the hallway, several girls were chattering, none of whom seemed like they were planning to enter the dissection room, craning their necks as if looking for someone.
“Wait for him to come out, then you can give him your letter.”
“That only girl from his class is here.”
“I heard she’s really good at studying, and even the class counselor trusts her enough to let her be the class monitor.”
“Actually, aside from her, the others in his class aren’t bad either.”
Obviously, referring to the fact that no boys had shown any interest in her during these three and a half years, in contrast, many girls openly pursued the forty-nine boys in her class, among whom Monitor Yue was the most popular.
Xie Wanying pushed open the door of the dissection room and stepped in.
Inside, the intense smell of formaldehyde filled the air, almost unbearable for ordinary people. Some medical students would vomit at the scent. Those girls outside, it’s uncertain if they were from the medical college, but as soon as their heads neared the window, they quickly pinched their noses and stepped away.
Following the rules of the dissection room, she changed shoes, took off her coat to put on a white lab coat, and then donned a hat and a mask.
This time, Yue Wentong and the others arrived a bit earlier than she did. She was late because she didn’t have the key to the dissection room; it was with the class monitor. The dissection room was eerily quiet, with the Cadaver Teacher placed there, everyone unconsciously maintained silence. The quietness at this moment was the best respect for the Cadaver Teachers who had contributed to medical research.
As usual, Xie Wanying stood at her practice spot.
She had two dissecting knives, two toothless forceps, and one toothed forceps which she would absolutely not use unless necessary. The latter could damage the Cadaver Teacher, so it was best avoided.
Today, after many requests, she finally had the privilege to dissect a heart alone. The heart had already been removed from inside the Cadaver Teacher, a step completed earlier by the dissection room staff.
