Chapter 93 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
However, when he heard her turn around and tell him that she could read a paper when she had time after leaving, he frowned slightly, a look of confusion flashing across his face.
A thesis? What thesis?
Because of this, Zheng Heng, unusually curious, searched online for the paper she had just mentioned: the regenerative capacity and functional prediction of X cells.
He glanced at it; it was written by someone from their country, but it had also been published abroad. He clicked on it and read it through, then his gaze lingered on the function prediction of X cells.
Does wound healing lead to limb regeneration?
But how could that be? Don't biology students always exaggerate things? With current technology, how easy is it to achieve wound healing and limb regeneration?
However, Zheng Heng still thanked her for her comfort. If that day ever came, he wouldn't be able to use that medicine anyway, which shows how precious it was.
Even so, he still kept the paper, hoping, without a doubt, that he would see it published in his lifetime.
The time that followed passed rather quickly, as Lin Wei spent her time performing one small blood vessel anastomosis procedure after another, thanks to what Director Zheng had said.
Small vessel anastomosis is not as simple as it seems, where you can just suture it directly. There are four suturing methods.
"When blood vessels are close together, they can be sutured directly. This is called end-to-end direct suture."
"When the difference between the end-to-end vessels is significant, or when it is necessary to preserve the continuity of the vessels in the recipient area, the end-to-side suture method must be used," Director Zheng explained. He wasn't worried about her suturing skills; he basically only needed to demonstrate once, and she knew how to do it herself. In addition to these two surgical methods, she had also mastered the intussusception suture method and the open-intussusception suture method very well.
Even the suturing of small blood vessels, which requires high precision and involves microsurgical techniques, was done very well, and Director Zheng became more and more satisfied with it.
However, he still didn't plan to take her to the operating table immediately, wanting to train her for a while longer. But something unexpected happened that disrupted his plans.
Looking at the patients transferred from the emergency room, Lin Wei's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and so did Yang Mingjie's.
"How come it's her?" This patient was none other than Zhou Ying, the patient I saw with Dr. Zheng Heng last time. Didn't she leave with her daughter after getting her medication? How come she's back in the hospital so soon?
Regardless, the two of them were very serious when reviewing medical records and conducting examinations.
Lin Wei: "In this situation, I'm afraid surgery is necessary immediately."
Yang Mingjie asked her why.
Lin Wei explained everything one by one.
This time, her son did come, but his face was full of displeasure. "You can watch over things here, what am I doing here?"
Zou Yue, the daughter who brought Zhou Ying to see the doctor last time, said, "Mom usually dotes on you so much, but now that she's in the hospital, you think you can just wash your hands of it and not get involved? Let me tell you, no way. I don't expect you to pay most of the money, just 50,000 yuan for the surgery will be enough for each of you."
Zou Yue's brother was startled. "Fifty thousand? I don't have that. Two thousand is more like it. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself. If you really die, there's nothing I can do." He was basically just going to wash his hands of the matter.
As he spoke, he made an excuse that it was stuffy in the hospital and went out for a smoke.
Watching him run away, Zou Yue noticed the doctors' gazes and felt a little embarrassed and ashamed, but she still asked nervously, "Does my mother really need this surgery?" Even though they had just said it would cost between 60,000 and 100,000 yuan, where would she get that much money? She only had 50,000 yuan on hand.
Lin Wei: "Her condition is already very critical. Even if she pulls through this time, the same thing will happen again next time, and she won't be as lucky as she was today to be able to be saved."
Hearing this, Zou Yue gritted her teeth and said, "I'll think about it some more." The main problem was that she didn't have enough money for the surgery, and even if she wanted to borrow from someone, someone would have to lend it to her.
Lin Wei nodded. "Think it over again. Right now, surgery is the best option for her."
Back in the office, Yang Mingjie looked at her and said, "Do you think she'll agree to the surgery?"
Lin Wei: "That depends on whether she can raise the money."
The most expensive thing now is going to the hospital for treatment. Even though she has to admit that her daily life doesn't cost much, a single hospital visit can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. In serious cases, a year's salary can be gone.
Ordinary people can't afford to get sick.
However, there was a way, but Lin Wei shook her head after thinking about it. She didn't know if her side would be able to wait until her coronary artery bypass grafting assessment was over.
If she could wait, she wouldn't mind turning her into a patient for evaluation. But Lin Wei only thought about it and didn't do anything about it.
A little over ten days is neither a long nor a short time; it all depends on whether she raises the money quickly enough or learns quickly enough.
Director Zheng was obviously aware of the situation with the patient in bed 6 and had the same idea in mind. He originally wanted to take it slowly, but he still brought her up on stage.
"You've probably already seen the video of this surgery, right?"
Lin Wei nodded, "I've seen it." Having already performed open-chest surgery, she was again the first assistant this time. The surgery involved removing veins from the lower limbs and anastomosing them with the heart's blood vessels to create a bridge.
It sounds simple, but it's not easy to do, especially since it involves an extracorporeal circulation process that stops the heart.
Director Zheng clearly trusted her completely. Hearing that she was fine, he genuinely believed she was fine and quickly began the surgery.
However, Lin Wei performed many of the procedures, including setting up extracorporeal circulation to stop the heart, as well as disinfecting the surgical site and lower limbs, harvesting the great saphenous vein, opening the chest, and exposing the heart.
He let her do what she could, while he guided her from the side. Only after the sternum was cut open, the heart exposed, and the internal mammary artery harvested did he proceed with the rest of the surgery.
When the surgery proceeds smoothly, it will be similar to what is shown in the video.
The distal coronary artery of the stenosis is incised, and the target vessel and bypass vessel are anastomosed. The proximal end of the venous bypass vessel is anastomosed to the aorta.
Extracorporeal circulation was stopped only after the heartbeat resumed.
As for the final placement of the drainage tube, hemostasis, and chest closure, Lin Wei did all of that. The entire surgical procedure went very smoothly.
Director Zheng thought that this time, like the last time with Tetralogy of Fallot, she would need to see her several more times before she could see her again. However, this time Lin Wei planned to see her only once.
Perhaps part of the reason is because of the patient in bed 6. She doesn't mind lending a hand if it doesn't harm herself.
It had nothing to do with sympathy or pity; it was simply that she felt she should do it. Just like when she saw the scars on Zheng Heng's hands, she felt the same way.
If you have the ability, then do it.
The hardships involved are self-evident. Seeing something doesn't mean you can do it. Even though she had some basic knowledge, she still stayed in the simulation room for a long time before coming out because she had high standards for herself.
When Director Zheng heard this, he was quite surprised. "Are you sure?" He had originally planned to demonstrate a couple more times for her before letting her go on stage. However, he didn't expect her to be so quick.
Lin Wei nodded, "I'm sure." In the simulation room, she had practiced vascular anastomosis for a long time. Taking veins from the lower limbs was simple, and she was very careful with the open-chest procedure. Apart from the different procedures for establishing extracorporeal circulation and exposing the heart, she was actually quite familiar with the rest.
You might be flustered at first, but you'll get better with practice. You might not be the best, but you can definitely get an A.
This brings us to her suturing skills. In medicine, it may not seem like a very important thing, but sometimes it can play a big role in critical moments.
If she hadn't practiced suturing skills beforehand, she probably wouldn't have been able to perform this surgery, because it's too abrupt. It's common sense that a person's suturing skills can't improve rapidly in just one or two days.
Even she sometimes didn't dare to show her abnormality so openly.
Because he was still worried, Director Zheng asked her a few more questions, all of which were common problems during the operation, as well as how to handle emergencies. Lin Wei answered them all.
After considering it for a while, Director Zheng finally agreed to her request.
"If there are any issues that cannot be resolved along the way, replace the person who can handle them; do not force it."
“Even if there are problems with this surgery, it won’t change the fact that you are a member of the Talent Strengthening Program.” He didn’t believe that the people in Kyoto would kick her out of the program because of this failure.
This was significantly different from the first radiofrequency ablation procedure, but it was all thanks to her skill that she showed them her potential and value.
However, Lin Wei was much more confident. "I don't think I will fail."
This confidence also influenced Director Zheng, who said, "Okay, I believe you." If he didn't believe her, he wouldn't have given her so much freedom.
In fact, a different teacher might not dare to do this.
While Zou Yue, in bed 6, was still worrying about where the money for this surgery would come from, the Kyoto team came to her door. When she heard about it, she didn't believe it and thought it was a scam. However, after asking the hospital staff, she found out that it was true.
However, she still had some hesitation. Could she trust such a young doctor? Would he use her mother as a guinea pig? As for the benefits, she could only consider them after she had saved her life.
Compared to her hesitation, her brother was very supportive. "Okay, we agree." Why not have a free surgery? Besides, he would benefit whether it succeeded or failed. Instead, he would die without surgery and get no benefit at all; surgery was a better option.
Zou Yue glared at him, but ultimately agreed. The reality was that she didn't have the money for her mother's surgery, so she had no choice but to take a gamble.
The Kyoto team didn't try to dissuade her much, but she noticed that the family member of another patient undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting was eager to try. At that moment, she knew that there would never be a shortage of patients for this assessment.
Like some drug trial participants, they know that all drugs carry risks, but some still go for the high profits. And she had no other choice.
When Lin Wei heard the final result, she wasn't surprised at all; any normal person would have made the same choice. However, even if she disagreed, she wouldn't have objected, after all, she was too young.
Lin Wei looked at herself in the mirror. How wonderful it was to be young! Look how fair and tender her skin was. If she were like the doctor she had seen, with clumps of hair falling out, a beer belly, and wrinkles, she would be heartbroken.
Even the doctors in the department exclaimed, "It's good to be young! You can really go all out and have so much energy." They certainly couldn't work as long as she did.
At this moment, they looked at the interns behind them and said, "See? Learn from them, and you could be the next great doctor."
The interns wore wry smiles. They wanted to learn, but they couldn't possibly learn it. Although Lin Wei was an intern, who in this department treated her like one? They were the lowest rung of the department—no, the lowest rung should be the newly arrived intern nurses.
In ward 7, the family member watched as the intern nurse failed to insert the needle into his father's eye twice. He then started cursing, "How did you do that? Do you even know how to do it? What's wrong with this hospital? I paid for this, and you send an intern to do the injections?"
The young intern was so startled that she froze on the spot.
Even when the older nurses came in, they were still cursing and swearing.
Lin Wei came in to give preoperative education to the patient in bed 6. She saw a group of people gathered around and glanced at them, but she didn't know what was going on.
