Chapter 94 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
A while later, I learned that the intern nurse had been scolded by the patient's family after failing to insert the needle twice. At that point, I didn't plan to do anything, since the division of labor between doctors and nurses is very clear, and besides, the intern's supervising teacher had also arrived.
However, upon hearing that the supervising nurse had also been scolded, and that the entire ward was filled with the family member's voice, which grew increasingly aggressive, Lin Wei finally couldn't hold back any longer and went over to say, "What are you yelling about? Do you think this ward is a bustling market?"
"Keep quiet. If you don't rest, the other patients need to rest too."
The family member, who had been so imposing just moments before, immediately quieted down when he saw the doctor arrive, and became pitiful. "Doctor, I didn't want this either, but my dad is old, and he had to get two injections. As his son, it breaks my heart."
"It's one thing if the needle didn't go in the first time, but how come it didn't go in the second time either? You should have called for help when you knew you couldn't get it in." He suddenly turned into a complainer, as if he wasn't the one who had just been cursing in the ward.
Lin Wei glanced at the intern nurse, then at her supervising teacher. Although she felt there was a tiny bit of truth in what he said, she still said, "The needles have already been inserted. Can you take them back? Let this nurse insert the IV line first. If we delay any longer, will the IV drip even be able to continue?"
"If I remember correctly, he should be having surgery this afternoon."
Hearing this, the family member finally gave up, since the injection still had to be given.
However, this needle can only be inserted, not pierced through, otherwise he'll start cursing again.
To be honest, the supervising nurse was a little unsure. She was only in her thirties, not particularly old, and had given injections before, but she never scolded him like this.
If she weren't so short-tempered, she would have started arguing with the family members just now, instead of remaining silent.
So at this moment, she looked at Lin Wei and said, "How about you do it, Dr. Lin?" She had heard from the new rotating nurse Luo Xianli that she was very skilled at acupuncture and could even insert the needle into patients whose veins were not visible on the first try. She thought she could do it this time.
Even if she misses the target, the patient and their family wouldn't dare say anything just because of her status as a doctor. But if it were her, she would probably be scolded even more harshly. To be honest, she was a little scared too.
When dealing with some difficult patients, I worry about waking them up and getting yelled at, even just to check their blood sugar.
Hearing this, Lin Wei knew why she said that, but she still agreed, "Alright, I'll give her the injection."
The patient and their family were even happier to hear that it was a doctor who was giving them the injection.
They didn't care about anything else, they just thought the doctor was much better than the nurse, and they didn't care at all that the nurse was the more experienced one when it came to giving the injection. If it were any other doctor, they wouldn't dare to agree to such a thing.
It's a thankless task.
However, knowing her own limitations, Lin Wei not only agreed but also inserted the needle on the first try, while also helping to apply the protective film. After finishing, she said, "My technique is not as good as Nurse Liu's. Your veins are a bit weak, so this time it was a matter of luck. Be careful in the future and don't damage the indwelling needle. Also, don't let the IV drip run too fast, otherwise the indwelling needle will become ineffective, and next time it will require more than three attempts."
The family members nodded after hearing this, agreeing to whatever she said.
Finally, Lin Wei returned to bed 6 to educate the patient.
Zou Yue was still very worried about the surgery. "Doctor, will my mom's surgery be successful?" She was afraid it wouldn't be successful.
Lin Wei looked at her and said, "I can't guarantee it for you. To be more precise, no doctor in the entire hospital can guarantee that the surgery will be successful, because no matter what kind of surgery it is, there will be risks. I can only say that I will do my best."
"But you don't need to worry too much." She left these words cryptically. With so many directors and medical team members ready, even the spare blood was prepared. Even if something went wrong with her surgery, her mother felt much safer than other patients undergoing surgery.
However, Zou Yue was still wondering what she meant. Did she mean the surgery wasn't that dangerous?
At this moment, the person in bed 7 next to her cast an envious glance at her, saying, "You guys are so kind, you managed to save so much on treatment costs. This trip would have cost us nearly 100,000 yuan." To be honest, it would be a lie to say she didn't feel bad.
As for the surgery, it's a top-tier hospital; how could it possibly fail so easily? Not to mention, when the head surgeon made his rounds, Lin Wei was by his side every day. The level of attention she received was even less than that of other doctors.
Do they really think their family members are blind? In his opinion, they're incredibly lucky.
Hearing the words from the bed next to hers, Zou Yue finally felt relieved. Thinking about how skillfully the woman had inserted the needle, she figured it couldn't be that bad. If it were bad, there wouldn't have been government officials coming to assist her.
On the hospital bed, the man who always favored his son probably knew he needed her at this moment. He didn't dare to utter a word, his eyes filled with emotion. But it's unknown how long this emotion will last after his condition improves.
Finally, the surgery time arrived the next day, and the patient was wheeled to the operating room by a caregiver. When the time was almost up, the patient was wheeled into the operating room.
After verifying the information, the anesthesiologist administered the anesthetic, and everything was ready.
Lin Wei only began the surgery after seeing that everything was almost ready.
Disinfect, take a vein, open the chest, cut the sternum. The movements are calm and unhurried. With each cut, there is no hesitation and no mistake.
Once the internal mammary artery was obtained, extracorporeal circulation was established and the heart was stopped. After that, the artery was cut and the blood vessel was anastomosed. The needle and thread in her hands seemed to have magic, without the slightest hesitation, extremely fast and smooth, and the stitches were extremely beautiful, almost invisible unless you looked closely.
Perfect as always. The only problem was that there was a slight issue when the heart tried to restart; it simply stopped beating.
Because Director Zheng had previously asked her what to do if she encountered a similar problem, and Lin Wei had answered very well, he was not in a hurry when he saw this scene. On the contrary, the people in the observation room were startled, but seeing that he, as a teacher, did not react, they held back.
Lin Wei remained calm. After learning that the high potassium content in the IV fluid had caused her heart muscle to be in a hyperkalemic state, she calmly instructed the nurse to add diuretics to the IV fluid. Meanwhile, she continuously massaged her heart with her other hand to accelerate the excretion of potassium ions. After a short while, her heartbeat returned to normal.
However, this time ventricular fibrillation occurred. Upon seeing this, she immediately initiated defibrillation and brought the heart rate back to normal.
My heartbeat has finally returned to normal.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They thought they would have to rush over to deal with it, because if the heart doesn't recover for a long time, it will suffer serious damage, and no one wants to see that happen.
The rest is quite simple: drain the fluid where necessary, stop the extracorporeal circulation where necessary, and close the chest where necessary. There is no controversy.
A group of people applauded after the surgery, regardless of whether Lin Wei could hear them or not. As for the possible complications that might occur later, those were beyond their control. All that could be said was that she had done the best she could during the surgery.
"Sometimes I even doubt if she's human." She learns too fast and too well. People in Kyoto have watched her grow up and just feel that she's extraordinary. If she continues like this, it feels like she could be omnipotent.
"By the way, does anyone know which department she'll be assigned to next?" Because everything was arranged well in advance, the department was decided very early.
One of them answered, "Neurosurgery."
Upon hearing this, those who hadn't paid attention to the matter before were surprised. "It's neurosurgery! The surgeries there are no simple procedures." They often have to open the brain. Ugh, just thinking about it is terrifying.
Admittedly, some of them are doctors, but the thought of brain surgery still makes them a little scared. They can handle gastrointestinal or abdominal surgery, but they really don't dare to operate on the brain.
They actually really admire neurosurgeons; their procedures are incredibly skillful.
"If she could master seven or eight out of ten neurosurgical procedures, that would be truly impressive." However, a group of people were still not very optimistic, even though Lin Wei had already performed exceptionally well.
As expected, Lin Wei received another certificate this time. Including the previous two, she now has three surgical qualification certificates.
This is her biggest gain from coming to the cardiac surgery department.
At this point, there were only a few days left before she was to graduate.
These days, Lin Wei pays more attention to the patient in bed 6. After she was discharged from the ICU, she checked on her condition again and found that there were no serious postoperative complications, so she was relieved.
"The surgery is going well, but you'll need to stay in the hospital for further observation." In the ward, she said to Zhou Ying and her daughter. Others would need about half a month to a month, but she wouldn't need that long, about ten days.
When the patient in bed 7, who was also undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, heard this, his eyes were filled with envy. He had his surgery a day earlier than her, but he would have to stay here for more than twenty days.
At this moment, she couldn't help but look at Lin Wei and said, "Doctor, I'll have you perform my surgeries whenever I get sick in the future." Now she felt even more that her skills were excellent.
These words elicited a mysterious smile from Lin Wei. "No, I think it's best if you don't go to the hospital." Is going to the hospital really a good thing?
Moreover, even if he gets in, she won't stay in this hospital anymore.
Zou Yue was very grateful to her after hearing this, and talked to her for more than ten minutes. She even tried to give her fruit or something, but Lin Wei refused.
Just kidding, what if someone says she accepted bribes? Even though it's just some fruit and she's just an intern, she's still worried.
Seeing her like this, Dr. Ding Hong smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just some fruit, I can accept it." It's not like she's asking for money, and the fruit is just ordinary fruit.
However, he hadn't expected that after several months in the department, he hadn't received anything from any patients, not even a bouquet of flowers, while she had.
Lin Wei immediately regretted not having taken it earlier.
However, there was no need to feel regretful, because when she returned to her office, the other doctors smiled at her and said, "This is fruit that the patient in bed 6 brought for you."
After seeing that she had confiscated the item, Zou Yue ran to their office to return it. Since it wasn't anything valuable, there was no need for the group to refuse it on her behalf, so the item was left behind.
In the end, everyone shared the bag of fruit, one piece at a time, and even Director Zheng received one.
“You’re quite popular,” he said, looking at her.
He noticed that her journey had been too smooth. What if she suddenly stumbled and fell? So, just in case, Director Zheng looked at her seriously and said, "Although you haven't encountered any difficulties yet, it doesn't mean you won't in the future. I just want to tell you that you will encounter many difficulties in medical work, either from colleagues or patients. This is normal. Don't let it defeat you."
It's normal for patients to die during surgery; they can't save every patient. At this point, she obviously hadn't seen a single patient die, nor had she seen any of the patients she operated on die, so she was able to maintain her current mindset.
Lin Wei nodded seriously after hearing this, "I will." Although, since she hadn't experienced it herself, she didn't quite understand what he was saying.
But she accepted the offer of kindness.
