Chapter 109 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 109...
Being able to perform nerve suturing surgery is not the same as being the best at nerve suturing surgery in the country or even the world.
As for letting Director Yang learn it herself, he felt that he was too old and didn't have the intelligence or ability, but if she could achieve it, that would be good too.
And so, Lin Wei's internship in neurosurgery came to an end, and she finally left. To be honest, she didn't like the department very much at first, but because Director Yang treated her well, and the doctors didn't deliberately make things difficult for her, she was still a little reluctant to leave.
"Teacher Yang, I will come back to see you when I have time."
Hearing Lin Wei's words, Director Yang felt somewhat gratified. Sure enough, this was the difference between girls and boys. Girls were like warm little cotton-padded jackets, while boys were just... well, let's just say they couldn't say a single soft word. They were so happy when they left.
Although he didn't know if she was just flattering him, he was still happy to hear it and had a smile on his face the whole time. However, once the new talent pool members arrived, he became serious again.
To be honest, after mentoring a true genius, you see everyone else as someone who learns slowly, and Dou Lengshuang just felt like she was being unfairly targeted.
This even includes a comparison?
Anyway, life in neurosurgery is a real nightmare.
Because her internship was at the Affiliated Hospital of University A, Lin Wei didn't need to rent a house this time. The hospital provided her with a dormitory room. In addition, she was the only one who had come in at this time, so Lin Wei had a room to herself. Her treatment was better than that of the senior students in their fifth year and Fu Shuhui, who had come in earlier.
Before arriving at the hospital, she had asked her supervisor for leave and delayed her return to work by a few days.
At this moment, in the emergency department, a group of people, although not particularly expecting the new doctor to arrive, were still somewhat puzzled when they saw that the person who was supposed to come hadn't shown up.
"Why haven't the interns arrived yet? Shouldn't they have been here long ago?"
The head of the emergency department who was in charge of training Lin Wei said, "She has taken leave for something and will be back in a couple of days."
Those who heard this were quite surprised. This was the first time someone had taken leave before even coming to work at the hospital; it seemed like a troublemaker.
"Are these students from University A?"
The head of the emergency department said, "Well, I heard that she previously interned in the cardiac surgery department in Hanshao City and the neurosurgery department in Sichuan Province. Both of these are good departments. If we're talking about luck, then she's quite lucky." But from his words, the female doctor knew that he was implying something, that the student had connections.
Designating certain departments, without violating the principles of the talent development plan, does not necessarily compromise fairness; on the contrary, it significantly increases the difficulty of passing the assessment. However, the head of the emergency department suspects that she passed the assessment because someone gave her preferential treatment. If that's the case, then she can only remain in the emergency department.
Clinical practice does not need people who are only half-baked.
No matter how powerful your backing is, it's the same.
Meanwhile, Lin Wei had already arrived at the First Hospital of Hanshao City. She had already reviewed the patient's medical records. In general, the patient's heart failure was too severe to be cured with medication, so a heart transplant was the only option.
Upon arrival, Director Zheng explained the situation to her, emphasizing that this opportunity was rare and therefore deserved to be seized. He didn't ask Lin Wei if she had seen similar videos, but instead outlined the general process: "I will establish extracorporeal circulation later, then remove the patient's original heart and implant it into the recipient's heart, restoring the heartbeat after the gas is expelled."
"You should be familiar with some of the procedures. The most difficult part of this surgery is anastomosing many blood vessels, dealing with the issues of restoring the heart to its normal rhythm, and dealing with postoperative immune rejection."
"Actually, I think you can do it if you are careful. I'm just having you observe today. What you see in person is always clearer and more accurate than what you see on video."
Lin Wei nodded after hearing this, "I will seize this opportunity." With only one heart transplant available every few months, she no longer expected to get the certificate. Of course, she also didn't think she would encounter any patients who needed her to perform heart surgery. Even if she did, the doctors at the hospital were not incompetent.
Soon, the surgery began. After scrubbing her hands, Lin Wei put on her surgical gown with the help of the scrub nurse. She then took over most of the tasks that the first assistant could do, simply watching as he removed the heart and treated the blood vessels.
The heart has many blood vessels, especially the tiny ones, which can easily be missed if you're not careful. Cutting them is relatively simple, as long as you prevent bleeding. However, the anastomosis is many times more difficult.
Lin Wei handed over the sutures and hemostats one by one.
"Prepare the Prolene sutures," she said to the scrub nurse. Perhaps this scrub nurse was not used to operating tables for this type of surgery, because she only brought over a 7-0 polypropylene suture. She then asked her to bring over an 8-0 suture.
"oh oh."
Compared to when she first came to the cardiac surgery department, Lin Wei is now clearly capable of handling things on her own. Even though it was her first time assisting with a heart transplant surgery, she was as familiar with it as if she had been with dozens of such surgeries.
The scrub nurse looked at her with a hint of surprise. How could there be such a young doctor? Although several doctors were assisting, Lin Wei's aura was different from that of ordinary doctors, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
Lin Wei's guess was correct. She did not have much experience assisting in many surgeries. After all, she was there for operating room rotations, and she had only been there for three weeks. It was already quite good that she could do this much.
Some of the instruments took her a long time to find, which just goes to show that the operating room is not an easy place to stay.
Fortunately, Lin Wei was quite considerate of the scrub nurse, reminding her where things were if she couldn't find them. Having performed quite a few surgeries in the operating room, she knew where some things were; if she didn't have them, she could just borrow them from the next room—she could always get them.
Because Director Zheng's eyesight was also getting a bit blurry, and seeing that there weren't many blood vessels left to suture, he handed the rest over to her and watched from the side.
Putting everything else aside, once you've mastered the difficult task of suturing nerves, suturing these other things becomes a piece of cake. Suturing nerves is truly complex, and you also have to consider functional recovery. So when Director Zheng saw that her suturing technique had improved compared to the past, he knew that she had done well in neurosurgery.
The difference wasn't huge, but it was noticeable, especially since her movements were smoother than before. Of course, he knew that she had slowed down; after all, it was a major surgery, and it was his surgery, so she was being a little cautious.
This caution wasn't about the anastomosis itself, but rather a caution that gave him peace of mind.
Even so, it was enough to surprise anyone seeing her perform surgery for the first time. Why did she feel that she was better at surgery than Director Zheng? At least in terms of vascular suturing.
How could Director Zheng not know about a problem that even a layman could see? If the previous talent development program staff member hadn't just left, knowing the capabilities of an average person, he probably would have felt old himself.
But the truth is, she's the only one who's perverted.
At that moment, he thought of something: if she had been there when his son injured his hand, would his hand be in this state now?
Unfortunately, this is just a hypothetical scenario and will never become a reality.
Although it was her first time performing a heart transplant-related surgery, she did a great job in the second half. What's outrageous is that she was able to learn a procedure that would take them decades to learn in just a few months.
Seeing that her heart had resumed beating, Director Zheng was also curious about what she had learned in neurosurgery.
So after leaving the operating room, they chatted for a while. However, even though he had anticipated that she wouldn't keep a low profile, he didn't expect that she had actually learned most of the neurosurgical procedures in Sichuan Province, including those level three and four procedures, including nerve suturing.
No wonder her vascular suturing technique has improved so much.
With mixed feelings, Director Zheng asked, "What's the best extent your nerve suturing can restore it?" He didn't know what kind of answer he wanted.
Is it stronger than 75%? Then he would only regret not having met Zheng Heng at the right time. If it's lower than 75%, he would hope she could do even better.
What others cannot achieve, perhaps she can.
Lin Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Currently, I can reach 87%. I think if I have more time, I can reach at least 90%." She said this to be on the safe side, as 95% was still too difficult for her.
Even so, it still shocked Director Zheng. "Can you really reach such a high level?" You know, the doctors who performed the surgery on Zheng Heng could only restore 75% of the original function. You can imagine how impressive her 87% is.
She could probably be considered number one in the world. However, Lin Wei never compared herself to others; she always compared herself to herself.
As long as she is stronger than her past self, then she has made progress.
Director Zheng's feelings were even more complicated. He wondered what she could achieve if the surgery were repeated? Would it be better or worse? But he still didn't dare to gamble, perhaps because he had heard her say that given time she could achieve 90% of the results.
If she could truly achieve over 90%, then he would absolutely insist on having her perform the surgery. This knot wasn't just in Zheng Heng's heart, but also in his.
However, Lin Wei was unaware of this at the time, because she had already come all the way to Hanshao City Hospital, and she didn't know when she would be able to come again, so she took a look at the doctors and nurses she had worked with before.
Dr. Ding Hong wanted her to help write medical records, but she just rolled her eyes and said, "No way." Sure enough, she's still lazy now; she doesn't want to write medical records and doesn't really want to work the night shift.
The milk tea and cakes she ordered also arrived, which was a way of thanking them for taking care of her over the past two months, even though they hadn't really taken care of her much.
The newly arrived fifth-year clinical interns and those selected for the Talent Strengthening Program also received a share. I wonder who she is, that she's so popular in the department.
As soon as Lin Wei left, the attending physicians introduced her, saying, "That person was a member of the previous Talent Strong Foundation Program. He came to assist with a heart transplant surgery today. Anyway, he's a really weirdo."
“We who are in charge of treatment are not as good as her.”
This is not easy to say, but it's not particularly difficult either. After all, there's only one Lin Wei in the world who's this abnormal, so they can still accept it.
However, the fifth-year clinical interns and the new talent training program staff found it hard to believe that an attending physician could admit that he was inferior to an intern. This was something they could never have imagined in the past.
Not to mention how difficult a heart transplant is, the fact that the head of the department could call the person back to assist in the operation shows just how much they like and value that person.
The doctor who had worked on that surgery whispered, "She performed part of that surgery. Her suturing technique is much more refined than before." Others practice themselves to the point of exhaustion and can only manage to sew up an ugly mess, but she can improve so easily. Indeed, a genius is a genius and cannot be judged by ordinary standards.
