Chapter 81 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
Lin Wei was unaware of all this, but she could guess some of it, though she hadn't expected such a large-scale operation.
After receiving an affirmative answer, even though she had performed countless surgeries in the simulation room, she couldn't help but feel excited when she heard Director Zheng's promise.
This was her first real-life surgery. But the thought of having to observe another surgery made her calm down. She wondered what Dr. Zheng would be evaluating during this observation—would he ask her to help hand over instruments, or what her performance would be like?
However, since she couldn't figure it out, Lin Wei didn't continue thinking about it.
She refused to believe that after performing so many surgeries so smoothly, she couldn't pass his test; otherwise, she really would have needed to ask why.
Meanwhile, Dean Lin, who received Director Zheng's message, was also surprised. This was the first time that someone from Hanshao City Hospital had used this channel. Usually, the students didn't even have this opportunity and were sent back directly.
"I didn't expect that my mentor's classmate's apprentice would be so capable." If he knew that her mentor was also a biology student, he would be even more surprised. He thought that she was at least a top expert in clinical surgery.
Biology and clinical medicine are two completely unrelated majors. If you try to find a connection between them, you might be able to make a tiny, but barely related one.
It's fine to let biology students do research and experiments, but to perform surgery? Haha, even if they don't have a license, they have to be willing to hold a scalpel.
He thought to himself that his subordinates were also quick, and they wrote the application and submitted it.
In Beijing, after the application was submitted, Lin Wei's name was mentioned in front of those bigwigs for the first time.
"This person is indeed young. Geniuses are geniuses even when they are young." Putting everything else aside, his age alone is enough to surprise a group of people.
What's most intriguing is the weight of this application; no one expected someone to be able to mobilize them. They thought no one could achieve this level of achievement under the Talent Strengthening Program.
"It seems we need to go to Hanshao City. It'll be a good opportunity to see what kind of abilities that little girl who has alarmed us has."
Everyone has a different opinion on the word "genius." If they go there and find that it's just so-so, they will be disappointed.
And so, the day arrived quickly for Lin Wei to join the team. Apart from the change from second assistant to first assistant, the original first assistant became second assistant, there was no difference.
Director Zheng: "It's not too late for you to regret it now." He can still let them go back.
Once she's on stage, the judging will begin, and every move she makes will be magnified. Even if she manages to pressure the judges into letting her have the surgery, if she makes any mistakes during the operation, the judges will have the right to veto her, and it's not impossible that they could even force her to end the talent development program.
If she behaves herself, she can participate in the talent development program a little longer.
However, Lin Wei insisted, "I won't regret it." Because she believed in herself.
Seeing this, Director Zheng also wanted to see how she would perform next.
I scrubbed my hands, put on the surgical gown, and everything was done the same way as before.
The observation room was completely dark. Looking at the scene before her, there was nothing particularly interesting about a simple radiofrequency ablation procedure, especially since the person observing was not the surgeon but an assistant. However, the fact that she was a participant in the Talent Strengthening Program added a unique dimension to the experience.
Seeing that she handed him the equipment with ease without Director Zheng having to say anything, it would be one thing if she had worked with him many times before, but the fact that this was her first time being an assistant, and only her second time assisting someone on stage, was quite remarkable.
Normally, scrub nurses only prepare the commonly used items and then hand over the necessary instruments at the request of the first assistant. The fact that she mastered the required tools so quickly and requested the next instrument before Director Zheng had even completed this step is enough to demonstrate her deep understanding of the surgery.
Professor Zheng understands this point even better. He didn't make a single mistake last time, but this time, due to the patient's vascular problem, he made a slight mistake. However, he was still able to direct the scrub nurse to hand over the necessary equipment, which is what makes him so special.
After the surgery was over, he looked at Lin Wei and said, "Not bad." It seemed that she really had a lot of insight into this surgery and wasn't just talking big.
Before the people in the observation room could speak, he approved her application, saying, "Get ready, you'll be on the operating table next time." He was willing to take the gamble with her.
A look of joy flashed across Lin Wei's face. "Thank you, teacher." Yang Mingjie and the other assistant looked on in surprise.
She actually did it; it's unbelievable.
After Lin Wei left, Director Zheng did not leave immediately, but instead reminisced with the old folks.
"This girl is quite capable, isn't she? This is only her second time performing on stage. Most importantly, she's very bold, smart, and confident." His expression was full of admiration, no longer as serious as he had been in front of Lin Wei.
The people from Kyoto asked, "So you've already decided to put her on the operating table?" Several people immediately understood his meaning and made it clear.
Director Zheng didn't deny it, "Yes." Since she had the guts, why couldn't he go along with her and give it a try? Besides, what if her performance just now told him they had something to complain about?
That's true. As a first assistant, she is indeed quite qualified. As for whether she can perform the surgery, it depends on her performance on the operating table.
"It seems we need to find a suitable patient," the person from Kyoto remarked upon hearing this.
Director Zheng waved his hand and said, "No need, I've already found one." He chose a patient who had recently visited the hospital. Of course, just in case, they could do a second round of evaluation to avoid any disputes later.
"You've already made up your mind, what else can we say?" The man from Kyoto laughed. It seemed he was really anxious. But then again, if he encountered a promising talent when he was older, who wouldn't want to pass on all their knowledge to someone else?
The main problem is that there are too few good doctors in the country, especially skilled ones. The younger generation doesn't have a single one who can truly excel. And even the most skilled doctors, as they age, experience a decline in physical condition; no matter how experienced they are, they can't maintain the same level of skill they had in their youth. This is the most frustrating thing.
Because they also wanted to have a medical genius in Korea who could be recognized for his expertise, so that patients with difficult and complicated diseases wouldn't have to go to Korea for treatment, the people in Kyoto quickly screened and arranged for surgical patients, and also had them sign contracts.
If so many people fail to save even one patient, the government will still provide compensation as it is due, and will not let any citizen down.
So soon, Lin Wei was on the operating table. Director Zheng personally assisted her, and would also take over the surgery if she couldn't handle the situation. The second assistant was Deputy Director Liu, and the third assistant was another surgical director. Even the anesthesiologist was the director of the anesthesiology department.
It's safe to say that under normal circumstances, you would never see these big shots together, let alone as assistants.
Huang Pengtian was the patient who was going to have the surgery. He was terrified when he found out that Lin Wei was his surgeon, but he calmed down immediately when he realized that everyone around him was a big shot.
This can be considered a contribution to medicine. The most appealing aspect of the government's offer is that if his family members get sick in the future, they can use this certificate to receive an additional 30% reimbursement on top of basic medical insurance. Although it's only for this generation, it's still reassuring enough.
Especially since he has a seriously ill son at home. Even if not for himself, he has to think about his son. Huang Pengtian even began to feel fortunate to have this opportunity, something others wouldn't even dream of.
After the anesthetic took effect, Lin Wei waited a while before starting to work.
The disinfection and puncture were performed with great precision.
She didn't look like a novice at all; her hands were incredibly steady, without the slightest tremor. Since the start of the surgery, her gaze had been fixed on the patient without ever looking away.
When Director Zheng handed her the equipment, she didn't seem particularly honored. She simply accepted it as she was expected, treating him like an ordinary assistant, giving him instructions when needed.
Most importantly, the insertion of the electrode catheter was so smooth and silky that even onlookers thought it was an art. When the catheter entered the heart, everyone held their breath, as if they would immediately take over the surgery and start the rescue if she made a mistake.
However, they were not to be disappointed. After finding her target, Lin Wei accurately performed ablation at the pulmonary vein orifice to create electrical isolation between the large vein and the atrium, thus curing atrial fibrillation.
That was a brilliant move, to be honest.
"Beautiful." The group couldn't help but exclaim. They wouldn't have been so surprised if any experienced doctor had performed this procedure, but this was a young girl who wasn't even eighteen years old yet.
“I think she is very likely to have a significant impact on the medical community,” one of them asserted.
They couldn't imagine what the outcome would be if she could learn every surgery as easily as she did today.
After thinking it over, they all laughed. How could that be? It was just a minor surgery. Even if she had learned it, it wasn't impossible. After all, the fastest person to learn radiofrequency ablation had only performed three procedures, even though that person was already a doctor at the time. So, while Lin Wei's performance was astonishing, it wasn't enough to make them doubt anything.
He simply sighed and said, "Talented people emerge in every generation." It seems that every era has one or two particularly gifted individuals.
Then they thought of someone, and a hint of regret appeared in their eyes, "If Zheng Heng hadn't injured his hand, he would probably be shining on the operating table right now."
Zheng Heng is Director Zheng's son. He was already an excellent doctor in his thirties. Unfortunately, he injured his hand while saving someone due to a medical dispute. Even though neurology and vascular specialists from all over the country came to treat him and did their best, he could only maintain his daily life. He could not do heavy work or delicate work and was completely cut off from the operating table.
"Sigh." Thinking of this, the group sighed. If only medicine could make great progress someday. There are many doctors like Zheng Heng whose careers have been ruined because of medical disputes. Every single one of them is a loss to the country and its people.
It takes years of hard study and countless surgeries to train an excellent doctor, but only a moment to ruin one.
