Chapter 92 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
His movements were fluid and quick; whether slicing thick tissue thinner or widening narrow areas with a balloon, he was very skilled, unlike the clumsy movements of a novice.
But Director Zheng wasn't surprised at all, because in the surgeries he had overseen, he had not only had her hand over instruments, but also handle other matters. She was either the one initiating the initial incision or, under his guidance, dealing with right ventricular hypertrophy. As for balloon dilation and other procedures, she had performed many interventions before and should be quite familiar with them.
So it's no surprise that she successfully completed the surgery. It would have been impossible for anyone else, but she definitely could.
The surgery, which was originally scheduled to take four hours, was completed in just three hours by Lin Wei. When the surgery ended, the group of people in the observation room couldn't find a single mistake.
But the more they couldn't find anything, the happier they became, because it meant that she could also be granted the qualification for correction of congenital heart disease.
"If I remember correctly, she's only worked on a few machines, right?" One of them was even with him. He didn't expect her to learn so quickly. And she seems quite skilled at it. He didn't believe she hadn't practiced on hundreds of machines. The man from City 2 exclaimed in surprise.
The Kyoto resident said calmly, "Otherwise, why would they say they're part of the Talent Development Program?" Having seen so much, they were no longer surprised.
Of course, there were also those who were pessimistic. "But this is just an appetizer. If I remember correctly, she only has twenty days left in her cardiac surgery internship. You know, the hardest part is not this, but heart transplantation."
The Mando procedure, aortic root reconstruction, is slightly less complex than a heart transplant, but it requires a very thorough understanding of anatomy. How could one possibly learn it all in just twenty days?
Moreover, even if she wanted to learn, there weren't any suitable patients for her to practice with.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. This was indeed a problem, so after a moment's thought, the group suggested, "How about we extend her cardiac surgery internship by two more months?"
However, she quickly changed her mind, thinking, "No, I'd better not. I still need to continue my internship. If I really get the chance to work in Taiwan, I can just have her come back to Hanshao City for intermittent training." After all, whether it's a heart transplant or anything else, how could she possibly just happen to run into such a situation?
If she doesn't perform this surgery for six months or a year, does that mean she has to continue her internship in cardiac surgery for another six months or a year? What about the other departments?
Because of this, the people of Kyoto reached a unanimous vote in favor.
That's the decision.
Lin Wei was unaware of all this. She did feel that time was running out. She had already spent so much time on the previous ones, and she felt that she would be almost ready to learn coronary artery bypass grafting.
It wasn't that she didn't want to learn, but Director Zheng wouldn't let her. It was just that preoperative preparation also took time, and the patient wouldn't be about to have surgery right away. In addition, she also needed her own rest time. So, although it seemed like 20 days, it actually wasn't that much time in the long run.
However, she wasn't in a hurry. Things will work themselves out. You can't rush things. Besides, other things can be rushed, but can surgery be rushed?
Being able to work on stage is a minor matter, but obtaining the qualifications requires real skills. Without sufficient proficiency, Lin Wei wouldn't dare to joke around with those patients.
So she went about her business as usual, even more calmly than Director Zheng. The latter felt the time allocation was unreasonable and even went to Kyoto to ask for an extension of her internship.
In the break room, Director Zheng argued forcefully, "How can two months be enough to train talent? Can't we give her more time?" He knew that if he gave her more time, she would definitely be able to learn those complex surgeries, but right now, what they lacked most was time.
However, he was rejected.
“You have to understand, those cases aren’t easy to find, and heart transplants aren’t something you can just come across all at once. It’s all about luck. Even if you give her two more months, are you sure you can find a heart transplant surgery to demonstrate for her?”
Hearing this, he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that they were right. Because of this, Director Zheng finally opened his mouth, but then fell silent.
Unexpectedly, the real challenge lay in the medical records, leaving him somewhat unwilling to accept defeat.
When the people in Kyoto saw this, they sighed, "You're too impatient. You should know that learning medicine can't be done overnight." Only Lin Wei could keep up with his pace. If it were anyone else, they would have collapsed long ago. Whether it was those night shifts, the endless surgeries, or showing her how to conduct a clinic, everything was designed to train her to be a qualified doctor.
But a person's energy is limited, and who knows when she might break down?
"So you should take it easy." While it's not fair to treat her like a precious treasure, there's no need to treat her like Iron Man.
Finally, Director Zheng fell even more silent, admitting that he had been a bit too hasty. It was a rare opportunity to see such a promising talent; who wouldn't want to impart all their knowledge to her?
Lin Wei only found out about this afterward, but she didn't mind. In her opinion, as long as she could learn something in the end, that was enough. As for the duration, she figured it shouldn't be too long. Surely she couldn't possibly not encounter a single complex patient during her year-long internship?
Obviously, this is impossible.
But now, she couldn't think about that anymore. Holding the newly issued certificate, she had a bright smile on her face. This was the second certificate she had received, which meant that she could now perform heart correction surgery independently.
However, it would be untrue to say that she has undergone surgery for all types of congenital heart disease. For example, she has not yet performed surgeries for conditions such as transposition of the great arteries or pulmonary atresia, which require delicate reconstruction of the heart structure.
Director Zheng said, "Those surgeries aren't urgent. We don't have any patients with that kind of case in our department right now. Next, you'll be learning coronary artery bypass surgery, which requires extremely advanced vascular anastomosis techniques. So, you'll be performing more small vessel surgeries soon." He paused for a moment after hearing her question before replying.
I'm also reflecting on whether my expectations of her were too high. From the beginning, seeing how quickly she learned radiofrequency ablation, I've always held her to high standards. Even after seeing her learn a procedure that others might not be able to learn in a year, I've become accustomed to it.
If the people from Kyoto hadn't brought it up, he would have almost forgotten that she was just a young child.
Knowing that he would be teaching her coronary artery bypass grafting next, he relaxed and wasn't as anxious as before.
Lin Wei: "Shall I go listen to the patients' consultations now?" Mainly because she has nothing to do right now. She's already seen that the post-operative patients are recovering quite well, and there's nothing for her to do here. Besides, she's performing surgeries on other doctors' patients, so it doesn't matter whether she's there or not.
Director Zheng didn't say anything this time. "If you want to listen, then listen. If you don't want to listen, then go read a book. Otherwise, I can give you a day off. You can come to the hospital after a day of rest."
Lin Wei looked at him strangely after hearing this. To be honest, she was a little unaccustomed to his sudden kindness towards her.
"Teacher, did you win the lottery?" Otherwise, why would he be so friendly today? It's not that he's usually fierce, it's just that he would never tell her to rest before.
Upon hearing this, Director Zheng's carefully cultivated mood vanished instantly. "Get lost! If you don't want to rest, fine, but winning the lottery? Do you think I look like someone who would win the lottery?" He rolled his eyes and said irritably.
He had a rare moment of conscience, but the girl didn't appreciate it at all; she was just born to be a workaholic. He realized that the people in Kyoto were wrong about one thing: it wasn't him forcing her to study; it was clearly her own love of learning.
Okay, now he's the bad guy, and she's the pitiful little thing he's bullying.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei immediately made an excuse to leave. Who wanted to listen to his nagging? Even if it was the head of the department, when he started nagging, he was no different from an ordinary old man—annoying.
Director Zheng watched her run away, and laughed even more angrily. Sooner or later she would know that not listening to the elders would lead to trouble.
In consultation room number 13, Zheng Heng saw that she and Yang Mingjie had come again. He paused for a moment, holding the patient's medical card, because he thought they would only come once, but he didn't expect them to come again.
However, they didn't kick them out.
After the patient left, he asked, "Is there nothing else going on in the department?"
Lin Wei nodded, "Mm." It's really busy when things get busy, but it's also really relaxing when things aren't. Speaking of which, she asked about the patient from last time, "Why didn't she come to the cardiac surgery department for hospitalization?" According to the procedure for coronary heart disease, shouldn't she be given an admission slip and admitted to the hospital?
Zheng Heng knew immediately who she was talking about. "After they finished their checkups, they knew the surgery would cost tens of thousands of yuan, so they got some medicine and went home." Perhaps it was due to financial pressure, or perhaps it was because they were unwilling to let their eldest son not have to pay, but who knows for sure?
As a doctor, all he could do was prescribe the medication to the best of his ability. If she could take the medication every day, her condition might be under control, but there was also a chance of a heart attack, and if she waited too long to get treatment, it would be too late.
Hearing this, Lin Wei didn't say anything. She knew that this kind of thing was very common in the hospital.
However, Yang Mingjie felt a pang of sadness. There were too many people who were sick but couldn't be cured for various reasons. Even though he was just an intern, he couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
But let's not even talk about how they're just interns and don't get paid. Even if they did get paid, there are so many pitiful people in the world. Can we help them all? We can't help them all.
So after he figured it out, he suppressed his melancholy.
Since the two of them came here to learn, Zheng Heng would ask them to share their thoughts when he examined patients before giving his own opinion.
Putting everything else aside, although Lin Wei has a good grasp of textbook knowledge, she still has many shortcomings compared to people who have worked in clinical practice for many years.
However, what Zheng Heng found most comforting about her was that she understood things immediately.
He glanced at Yang Mingjie, who was also listening to the lesson, and he roughly understood why his father had praised her so highly.
A bright student will always receive a teacher's favor. Even if he feels a little jealous, he has to admit that he appreciates her during the teaching process.
