Chapter 87 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
In clinical practice, it's true that only those with ability can earn respect.
Although they were interning in the same department, Lin Wei didn't actually have much contact with them. This was mainly because they had different tasks. Her task was to grow as quickly as possible, while their task was to learn gradually. So when Lin Wei was making rounds with the head doctor and being asked questions, they watched from behind. When she was performing surgery in the operating room, they were learning from their instructors how to write case reports and how to communicate with patients.
At this point, a question arose in front of the clinical interns: "Interns don't seem to be qualified to perform surgery, do they?" That's what they remembered.
Is he going to be following behind Director Zheng and providing backup?
Nevertheless, it's enough to make newly arrived clinical interns envious; they also want to work in the operating room.
However, Dr. Gao shattered their assumptions, saying, "Who told you she was an assistant? She's the surgeon. Although she hasn't been clinically working for very long, she's already qualified to perform surgery independently." Even though it's just radiofrequency ablation, there are countless patients in cardiac surgery who can handle that procedure.
Moreover, once you learn radiofrequency ablation, you're not far from learning other surgeries. Many surgeries are actually quite similar.
This statement shocked everyone. "How is that possible? Can interns get medical licenses? Shouldn't they have to pass the exam first?" Isn't that how it's always been?
However, the supervising doctor once again shattered his traditional thinking. “That’s how it is normally, but why are they in an abnormal situation? Do you know why they came to our city’s hospital from other provinces? Do you know how old they are?” the supervising doctor asked.
A group of people shook their heads.
Dr. Gao, the supervising teacher, knew this and continued, "Because they are participants in the Talent Strengthening Program. Lin Wei passed all the exams for undergraduate clinical medicine in her freshman year and is not yet 18 years old. As for Yang Mingjie, he passed the exams for his senior year in his junior year and achieved a GPA of 4 in all his undergraduate final exams, which is why he was eligible to participate in this program."
“You are excellent, but they are even more excellent. As long as they have the ability, all resources and national power will be tilted towards them, and clearly, she did it.”
After hearing this, the group of people were in a daze. They never thought there were such extraordinary people in the world. They thought they were good students in school and top students who had taken the college entrance examination. However, they did not expect that compared with the people not far away, they were like mayflies trying to shake a tree.
They can manage to get four GPAs in one subject, but they're not confident they can get four GPAs in all subjects.
To be honest, none of these seven people scored more than 90 points in any of their exams from freshman to senior year. They only scored 90 points in a few subjects, and even if they failed, they still passed. It's impossible for them to score 90 points in all of them.
Suddenly, Lin Wei's image became much more impressive. People used to call her by her full name, but now they simply called her Dr. Lin.
The supervising teachers all called her Dr. Lin. What's the point of them calling her by her name?
Director Zheng also noticed this and jokingly looked at her and asked, "What do you think when you hear them call you Dr. Lin?"
Lin Wei didn't say anything, but her face lit up with a big smile, making her a little embarrassed. But the title "Dr. Lin" sounded so nice; she loved hearing it.
It was at this moment that she lost her usual composure in front of patients and their cases, and people could only see that she was laughing very happily.
At the end of the day, he's still just a child.
However, one thing is one thing. Precisely because she is young, she has unlimited potential. If we give her lenient treatment just because she is young, that would be bad for her.
So Director Zheng said, "Get ready, you're coming with me to the operating room for surgery." These included balloon angioplasty of heart valves and correction of congenital heart disease.
Congenital heart disease, as the name suggests, refers to patients born with heart defects, such as atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus. For heart valves to dilate, there must first be stenosis. Like radiofrequency ablation, these are relatively simple procedures in our department. Once you've learned these, you can then guide her through some more complex surgeries.
Lin Wei had no objection to this, and didn't even ask which bed he was in. She just knew about everyone in the department.
Just take another look at the patient's information on the day of the surgery.
However, she still asked, "Am I the first assistant?" She didn't want to be the second assistant like before. What's the point of being a second assistant? If she can't perform surgery, being a first assistant would be fine too.
Director Zheng glanced at her and said, "If you think it's okay, then it's okay." At worst, someone else can take over when she doesn't know how.
Because of this, Lin Wei went back and watched the surgical video many times. Although everyone's surgical style is different, some simple surgical procedures are pretty much the same.
And so, she followed Director Zheng up to the stage again. Actually, heart valve and radiofrequency ablation have some similarities. Both require puncture and catheterization, except that the femoral vein is replaced by the femoral artery instead of the femoral vein, although the femoral vein is also acceptable. The current release is replaced by balloon dilation. Apart from that, the only difference is the location of the lesion.
In the operating room, Lin Wei checked the specifications of the balloon catheter, connected the pressure monitoring equipment, and only after confirming that everything was correct did she begin to cooperate with the doctor in the surgery.
Disinfect and deliver instruments.
After percutaneously puncturing the femoral artery, he assisted Dr. Zheng in pushing the catheter to the target location in the heart without even needing Dr. Zheng's prompting, showing no signs of being a first-time assistant.
For someone who has performed many radiofrequency ablation procedures, this is not difficult; in fact, it is extremely simple.
The subsequent balloon dilation, placement of the valve stent, and valve fixation proceeded extremely smoothly.
From the surgeon's perspective, she was indeed a very competent first assistant. Director Zheng gradually became more at ease with her; what she said about being capable really was true.
In the short term, the usefulness of this trust may not be apparent, but in the long run, the benefits will definitely outweigh the drawbacks. Imagine how it would feel to have someone believe in you against all odds when no one else does. As long as Lin Wei continues to work diligently and avoids mistakes, this trust will eventually prove its worth.
Each time she appeared on stage, she underwent an assessment and received a certificate. In the field of congenital heart disease correction, except for the most complex Tetralogy of Fallot, which requires open-chest surgery, Lin Wei has basically appeared on stage for every case.
It has to be said that the entire department searched for patients to find for her. Some of them were patients who were not originally scheduled to be admitted for surgery, but because they wanted to demonstrate the surgery to her, a group of people who had recovered well after surgery were discharged directly.
It must be said that they put a lot of thought into it.
Miao Qiaolan's daughter was the beneficiary of this surgery. When she heard that the director himself was performing the surgery on her daughter, she was overjoyed, even though she knew that the director usually did not perform surgery easily and that it was usually done by the doctors below.
The surgery was successful, and her daughter was discharged from the hospital a few days later.
It was while chatting with the patient in the next bed that she learned why the head doctor had chosen to perform surgery on her daughter this time—because he was one of his students.
"You wouldn't believe it, but every time the head doctor comes to make rounds, the one who asks the most questions is that female doctor. She's so young, you'd believe she was still in high school."
"She performed my surgery, and her technique is superb. I checked online and found out that my surgery usually takes two to four hours, but she finished it in an hour and a half. Other doctors told me that she can do surgeries that none of them can. They can't compare to her in this surgery. If one doctor says that, it can't be false. If all the doctors say that, they definitely won't lie." The middle-aged woman said with complete trust, showing no trace of her previous reluctance when she found out that Lin Wei was going to perform the surgery.
Miao Qiaolan knew what kind of surgery she had performed and asked in surprise, "Is it really that amazing?" It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but it was a preconceived notion that older doctors were more skilled, and generally they were unwilling to let younger doctors see them.
The middle-aged woman said unhappily, "How could it be fake? You don't know the patient in bed 28, do you? Both the head doctor and the head doctor from the other hospital said that he was a difficult patient to operate on, but in the end, he was cured by the female doctor who operated on me."
"If I hadn't overheard what that family member said in that ward, I wouldn't have known she was so formidable." Thinking back to how she hadn't been very nice to her earlier, the middle-aged woman was thankful that the woman hadn't gotten angry, otherwise what if she had refused to perform the surgery?
Director Zheng and Dr. Lin both said she could be discharged this afternoon. She had inquired and found that patients who had the same surgery as her, but not under Dr. Lin's care, weren't discharged so quickly.
Miao Qiaolan took these words to heart. Should she have her father-in-law have the surgery here? Her father-in-law also had a heart problem and was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Of course, she would want to find a good doctor to perform the surgery. The main problem was that she couldn't find the head doctor or the others. Since the surgery was being performed on young people, she would definitely want to find the best doctor in the department.
Because of this, her husband, who came to the hospital to see the child, gave her a lecture. He had met Lin Wei before; she was too young, and he couldn't trust what an auntie said.
"I think you just can't stand to see my dad doing well." These words deeply hurt Miao Qiaolan. Although she often argued with her father-in-law, she wouldn't let such a serious matter affect her. What did he take her for?
The two argued about this, and it didn't stop until the child started crying.
However, all of this had little to do with Lin Wei. In fact, she really didn't lack patients. Even if she did at first, after performing a few surgeries, patients thought she was good and would spontaneously tell other patients. In addition, she also obtained the qualification to perform heart valve balloon dilation surgery, so she had even less of a shortage of patients.
Right now, all she wants to do is complete the Tetralogy of Fallot surgery and qualify for congenital heart disease correction. Only then will she be qualified to learn more advanced and complex surgeries.
However, a sudden emergency call disrupted the original plan.
Director Zheng said to her, "There's a patient in the emergency room who needs a joint consultation. Come with me to take a look."
Lin Wei nodded, and seeing Yang Mingjie standing there, she called out, "What are you standing there for? Come on." She hadn't said he couldn't follow.
Opportunities are reserved for those who know how to seize them.
