“I don’t believe so either, that’s why I want to test his skill.”
Li Zhu smiled at Lin Yi. “Young man, did you offend our Director Li? Go buy some osmanthus cakes and apologize.”
“So Director Li likes osmanthus cakes. I’ll buy some when I’m free.” Lin Yi said.
“No matter what you buy, this test is unavoidable,” Li Chuhan said.
“Sister Sun, please help me get a set of blood vessels and nerves. Just charge the fee to the cardiology department.”
“Director Li, I’m only doing this for you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t even bother,” Sun Lizhu said with a smile. “But since you said this, it works for me.”
“Thank you, Sister Sun.”
“What are you thanking me for? Just wait.”
Sun Lizhu didn’t hesitate and turned to leave. A few minutes later, she came back empty-handed.
“What’s wrong? Did you run out of materials?”
“No, I forgot something. The electron microscope has a glitch. The new backup equipment hasn’t been delivered yet. If you want to test him on suturing nerves and blood vessels, I’m afraid you won’t be able to do so today. The backup microscope will arrive in three days. You can come again then.”
Because nerves and blood vessels were very small, it was impossible to see them clearly with the naked eye. It was basically impossible to suture them.
Therefore, a high-power electron microscope would be used during the suture.
This was especially true for some eye surgeries. Without an electron microscope, it was impossible to perform the surgery.
“Then, I’ll come back in a few days. Thank you, Sister Sun.”
“We’re all on the same side. There’s no need to be so polite.”
“Cough, cough, cough… Director Li, actually, I don’t need an electron microscope. I can do it with an ordinary microscope.”
Chu Han and Li Zhu were both stunned.
“What did you say? You can sew up nerves and blood vessels with an ordinary microscope?”
“Pretty much. I can give it a try. They’re all props anyway. It won’t kill anyone if I mess up.”
“Director Li, isn’t your newbie a little overconfident?”
Sun Lizhu had a pretty good impression of Lin Yi at first after seeing how handsome he was.
However, he’d said something like that, which was a huge taboo for doctors.
Lin Yi was the type of person she most disliked. He appeared to be someone who didn’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth.
Even Director Li wouldn’t be able to sew up blood vessels and nerves at such a young age.
How could he possibly do it?
“He’s already said it, so let him try. The materials aren’t that expensive anyway.”
“Alright, since you’ve said so, I’ll go get the materials for him.” Sun Lizhu said.
She was a little unwilling, but she still brought the simulation materials over for Li Chuhan’s sake.
There was also an ordinary microscope.
“I’ve brought everything. Let’s try it.”
Although it was the first time he’d seen such simulation material, Lin Yi wasn’t unfamiliar with it due to the help of the master-level suture technique.
He started operating with ease.
Li Chuhan and Sun Lizhu both took a step back to avoid disturbing Lin Yi’s operation, eventually maintaining a one-meter distance between them.
“Director Sun, what are you doing?”
The others from the equipment room walked over, wanting to know what was going on.
“Director Li brought a newbie here to test his ability to suture blood vessels and nerves.”
“Isn’t the electron microscope broken? How are you going to test him?”
Sun Lizhu shrugged. “He said that he could operate with just a normal microscope.”
“That’s impossible, it’s a bit of a stretch.”
The bespectacled male doctor looked up and saw Lin Yi sitting in front of him.
“No way, isn’t this guy too young?”
“I think he’s bragging too much, but he said that he can do it, so we might as well let him try.”
“Are you kidding me?” The male doctor said.
“Even with Director Li’s skill, she wouldn’t be able to suture blood vessels and nerves at this age, would she? Besides, he’s using a normal microscope. This young doctor is overconfident.”
“I think so too.” Sun Lizhu said.
“But it doesn’t matter. The simulation materials don’t cost much anyway. Let’s give him a try. It’s good for young people to suffer some setbacks.”
“Ok, ok.” Lin Yi exhaled.
“What?! Are you done?”
Sun Lizhu exclaimed. She and Li Chuhan looked at each other in shock.
“Are you sure you did it? You didn’t mess up?”
“You can see for yourself.”
The three of them hurried over and were surprised to see that Lin Yi had stitched up all the simulated blood vessels and nerves.
The stitching was neat and smooth. Even they themselves couldn’t have done it this well!
Most importantly, he was using a normal microscope!
This was even more unbelievable!
“You… How did you do it?” Li Chuhan stared at Lin Yi with her almond-shaped eyes. She couldn’t believe that Lin Yi could do something .
“It’s just stitching one needle at a time,” Lin Yi said matter-of-factly. “It’s not a magical operation, so you guys don’t have to make a fuss over it.”
Li Chuhan stopped talking when she saw the stitched up blood vessels and nerves.
There were many doctors who could stitch up blood vessels and nerves, but none of them could do it so well!
At the very least, she didn’t have the ability to do this. Even Director Duan, who was the best at it in the hospital, would only be at a similar level.
“Director Li, am I considered to have passed the test?”
“Sew it again. I want to see how you operate.”
Lin Yi smiled. “Do you want to learn?”
Li Chuhan nodded, not denying anything.
In doing so, she was admitting that she could not do the same. She was genuinely too humble.
“Wait a moment, I’ll go get another set.” Lin Yi said.
Sun Lizhu ordered her subordinates to get another set of simulation materials.
Lin Yi didn’t say anything and continued with his work.
Li Chuhan and the others were watching, and it affected Lin Yi’s operation.
This time, he was faster and more skilled than the first time.
During the suturing process, Li Chuhan noticed that Lin Yi didn’t make any unnecessary movements, perfectly examplifying the meaning of the word ‘precision’.
This was crucial in this surgery because every second saved would increase the chances of the patient surviving!
“I’m done,” Lin Yi said.
Li Chuhan was in awe as he looked at the blood vessels and nerves that were perfectly sewn together.
It was like looking at a piece of art.
“Why did you only use your thumb and index finger when you were suturing?”
This was what Li Chuhan wanted to ask from the start. It wasn’t easy to operate .
“This is a simulation of a real surgery,” Lin Yi said.
“There are thousands of different types of patients. It’s very likely that I might encounter a situation that will limit my movements and make it difficult to operate. I wanted to use this method to simulate this.
“But this kind of suture is still a little boring. There’s not a single drop of blood in the surroundings, and it won’t cause any obstruction to the vision. In a real surgery, we still would need to use an electron microscope. This kind of ordinary suture is a little boring.”
