Chapter 85 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Wei, filled with shock, wondering what qualifications she had. Forget seniority, who among them wasn't more senior than her?

If Director Chen weren't currently unable to take any major actions, he would have already cursed out loud.

What on earth is he up to? If I remember correctly, this person is his student, right? Even if he's a graduate student, he's not qualified to perform surgery.

However, even though Director Chen was internally devastated, he still cooperated when Lin Wei came to take over. He had no choice; if he didn't cooperate, what if he accidentally injured the patient's blood vessels?

So he had no choice but to hand it over reluctantly.

We'll settle this score with him later.

Although Lin Wei knew that everyone was shocked that she had taken over the surgery, and that Director Chen was not satisfied with her doing so and was only cooperating out of necessity, she still listened to Director Zheng and took over the surgery.

Instead of asking again and again to make sure it's really you.

He dared to let her do it, so how could she disappoint him?

The lack of hesitation brought a hint of satisfaction to Director Zheng's face. This was undoubtedly a sign of her confidence; anyone else would have refused repeatedly by now.

However, at this point, he still had no confidence in Lin Wei. He could only try anything as a last resort, and the worst outcome would be bleeding from the blood vessels, requiring emergency treatment.

But if it succeeds, the significance will be entirely different. Of course, he is also prepared to take full responsibility.

This is a great opportunity; she might only see a few cases like this in her lifetime. Success would be ideal, but even if it fails, it's meant to show her that surgery isn't so simple, and to let her learn from this failure.

However, Director Zheng's lesson ultimately proved useless.

Director Chen originally thought she would fail at the first step, but to his surprise, Lin Wei's hands and body were very steady. After choosing a suitable position, she took over the wire in less than four minutes, even faster than he had done.

This move caught him off guard. He had originally planned to confront Director Zheng after stepping down, but he forgot and didn't do so. Instead, he looked at her hand and the video displayed on the X-ray.

Most people would be extremely nervous if they encountered such a thin blood vessel, even if their hands didn't tremble. However, she focused intently on the X-ray imaging, continuously pushing the catheter forward, and even when encountering some bends, she passed through it smoothly.

Even Director Chen was surprised.

If it weren't for the sweat on her forehead, which showed she wasn't as relaxed as he'd imagined, he would have really thought the operation was simple.

The scrub nurse watched as one doctor after another went up and down the operating table, but she never expected that the last one to go up would be a young girl. And she actually did a pretty good job with the surgery.

Seeing the sweat on her forehead, she quickly went over and wiped it away for her.

An hour passed, and Director Zheng and Director Chen had rested enough. As soon as Lin Wei showed any signs of being unable to hold on, they could immediately step in.

However, Lin Wei clearly had some reserves left. Although sweat was pouring from her forehead, her hands remained as steady as a rock. Compared to her calmness and focus, the onlookers were extremely nervous, fearing that she might suddenly make a mistake at a crucial moment.

The main thing is that we're almost there. Once we reach the finish line, just a tiny bit of current will complete the surgery. If it fails at this point, Director Chen will be heartbroken.

At that moment, a narrow passage suddenly appeared in front of the X-ray machine, which was twice as narrow as the blood vessel that had just been used for transfusion.

Seeing this, both Director Zheng and Director Chen felt heavy-hearted. Was it going to be another failure?

They almost forgot that this narrow space was the biggest challenge of the surgery, but they couldn't even get to that point before they were unable to continue.

Even they weren't confident they could successfully deliver the stenotic blood vessel, so how could she possibly do it?

Just as Director Zheng was about to tell Lin Wei to stop and stop delivering the wires, Lin Wei had already threaded the wires into the narrow opening on the operating table, giving him no time to speak.

Seeing this, how could Director Zheng dare to speak? If he opened his mouth and disturbed her, causing her to lose focus, her blood vessels would surely rupture. Because of this, he ultimately kept quiet. And since he didn't stop her, what could Director Chen say? She could only clench her fist, waiting for the bleeding to stop so she could rush forward to provide immediate treatment.

Director Zheng was also standing nearby.

However, the worst-case scenario didn't happen after all. Lin Wei had practiced in the simulation room for so long that, although the blood vessel was indeed narrow, as long as she didn't panic or tremble, it was only a matter of time before she could pass through it.

She spent forty minutes on this small obstacle, but it was worth it. When they saw that after passing through the narrow passage, the heart was not far away, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, her heart quickly tightened again. Although she had treated many patients with atrial fibrillation, this case was different. If she failed on this simplest of issues, she would regret it deeply.

"Keep it up, stay calm," a group of people thought to themselves.

Lin Wei was indeed a little tired at this point, but she hadn't reached her limit yet. When she saw her destination, she started to speed up. Having performed so many surgeries, her body had become instinctive without her mind having to think. Her rapid movements made everyone around her tremble with fear.

I wanted to grab her shoulders and say, "Slow down, what's the rush?" Doesn't that scare her heart out of her chest?

Director Chen felt his heart was about to give way. He glanced at Director Zheng, his eyes seeming to say, "Look at the good-for-nothing kid you've raised."

If this surgery, which he's been looking forward to for so long, fails at this crucial moment, he can forget about having a peaceful life from now on. He'll be calling him every day, nagging him.

Fortunately, Lin Wei ultimately brought the surgery to a successful conclusion, while Director Chen didn't get the chance.

"Please check the equipment."

After she finished speaking, she quickly went off the stage to ask the scrub nurse for a bottle of glucose, and drank it. She felt like she was about to faint.

Performing surgery is exhausting, and they've been standing for about the same amount of time, so how come they can still stand?

Finally, it was Director Zheng who went to check the equipment.

Seeing this, Director Chen asked with a smile, "Would you like more glucose? You can drink as many bottles as you want." It's not expensive anyway.

"However, you still need to work on your physique. It's surprising that a young person isn't as strong as an old man like me." Director Chen was quite proud of this, it seems he's still got it.

Lin Wei: "..."

When Director Zheng finished counting the surgical supplies with the scrub nurse and came over, he saw him criticizing his student and couldn't help but defend her, saying, "That's enough, she's already done quite well." Others her age might not even have her physical fitness.

At this point, Director Chen said angrily, "How dare you say that? Taking advantage of my inability to make any big movements, you tried to undermine me. What if this surgery had failed?" He couldn't bear to imagine what that would have been like.

Director Zheng calmly replied, "Isn't this a success? Giving up is what constitutes failure." He should know how difficult it is to find a suitable blood vessel again.

Upon hearing this, Director Chen finally shut up, clearly agreeing with the point. If failure is due to insufficient technology, there's nothing that can be said, but if failure is caused by a lack of manpower, it's truly frustrating.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Wei with admiration, "Which school did you go to? Have you ever thought about working at Sichuan Provincial Hospital after graduation?" He was already trying to poach her.

Although she couldn't perform such a surgery on her own, her skill alone is enough to prove her potential.

Lin Wei: "I'm from University A. As for where I'll work, I don't have any ideas yet." She hadn't forgotten that if she passed the talent development program, she would have to work at University A's affiliated hospital for three years. If she didn't pass, she could consider going to Sichuan Province, but she didn't think she wouldn't pass.

Director Zheng also spoke up for her, "You can see her if you want. She might be going to Sichuan Province for an internship, so there will be plenty of opportunities to see her then." Although Lin Wei hadn't gone yet, he didn't mind paving the way for her now.

The older generation's idea that having more connections makes things easier has become a concrete reality at this time.

Director Chen understood what he meant, looking at him with a half-smile, but said nothing. Who knows, he might need her help someday.

But he quickly realized something: "She's a participant in the Talent Strengthening Program?" Otherwise, why would she be interning everywhere? Other interns at most in one hospital, they wouldn't be running around like this.

Director Zheng nodded.

No wonder Director Chen looked at her like she was some rare treasure. This was the first time he had seen a truly outstanding contestant; she certainly lived up to the title. As for the others, well, forget it. Even if they had talent, their practical skills were lacking. Just being able to answer questions and complete tests wasn't enough.

Hospitals are where true skill is revealed; ability is king, and the operating table is the battlefield.

Lin Wei watched them discussing her as if no one else was around, and finally understood how exhausted Yang Mingjie was.

Why can't you just ask her? This makes her unsure of what to do next.

Forget it, I'd better shut up.

Since the surgery was already over, Director Chen stayed there for another day to check on the patient's condition after waking up before returning home. Of course, he mainly focused on his thesis, which he titled after this case study.

Among those involved, Director Zheng and Lin Wei were naturally not overlooked.

Upon hearing this, Director Zheng put Lin Wei in charge of the matter, saying, "Why not take advantage of this paper? You should put more effort into it, as Director Chen may need some prognostic information about the patients later."

However, Director Zheng still reminded him of something, "Although you are the one who will end this surgery, don't be upset if you are not the first author." After all, it's not easy to arrange three people. Since he contributed to the paper and published it in a journal, it's fine if he is given the first authorship. He's just afraid that the young people might have some objections.

After listening, Lin Wei smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I know." She hadn't even thought of that at all.

It's just a paper; she doesn't care that much about it.
