Chapter 96 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
It's his own fault for not explaining things clearly. It's good that he can ask her for help when he needs help from the cardiac surgery department in the future.
Thinking of this, Director Chen Yongyuan reminded her, "She has good talent, so don't overlook her. Otherwise, my cardiac surgery department would really appreciate her."
Hearing this, Director Yang began to take Lin Wei seriously, wondering what was different about her that made Director Chen from the Department of Cardiac Surgery come to talk to her.
However, he still said impatiently, "Alright, do you think I would mistreat her? But let me make this clear: if she doesn't meet my requirements, I won't have time to teach her."
In fact, it would be normal for Director Zheng to let someone like Yang Mingjie leave halfway through if he didn't meet Director Zheng's requirements from the beginning.
However, Director Zheng showed leniency and didn't send them back. After all, it would be a bit awkward to send them back after only a few days. So usually, other people are assigned to teach, and they are sent away after their allotted time in the department.
Yang Mingjie didn't need a doctor assigned last time because Lin Wei was there to mentor him. However, there isn't another Lin Wei in the neurosurgery department, so Director Yang asked another attending physician to mentor him.
If she doesn't meet his requirements for teaching students, he will still have someone else teach her.
Director Chen Yongyuan had no objection after hearing this. He was there to support her anyway, and he wouldn't interfere too much with her studies. Besides, he didn't think Lin Wei could meet his requirements. If she couldn't, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could.
So after glancing at the time and deciding it was about time, he said, "Alright, I've delivered the person to you, so I'll be going now. But if my cardiac surgery department ever needs someone, don't hesitate to lend them to me." He was making a promise to himself beforehand.
Upon hearing this, Director Yang waved his hand and said, "I know, I know, you can go now." He really does get more and more long-winded with age.
When it really comes down to needing someone, which department wouldn't lend someone? Is he really that stingy?
In the end, Director Chen Yongyuan left satisfied, leaving only Director Yang, Lin Wei, and the other attending physicians behind.
After the attending physicians saw that the person had left, they went about their business, while Director Yang looked at the young girl in front of him and asked, "Your name is Lin Wei, right? What did you learn in the previous department?" He wanted to consider how to treat her.
Those who pass the first round of assessments all have some skills, not to mention that Director Chen's actions have brought his curiosity about her to its peak.
Lin Wei: "I didn't learn much, just wrote medical records and did some minor surgeries." Compared to heart transplant surgeries, weren't the surgeries she performed minor?
However, Director Yang didn't overlook this detail. "What kind of surgery?" He didn't believe that a minor surgery could make Director Chen speak up for her like this.
Lin Wei then said, "Just some radiofrequency ablation procedures, congenital heart disease correction procedures, and coronary artery bypass grafting."
She made it sound simple, but Director Yang was shocked beyond words. She had learned all of this in just two months.
Because he didn't believe her, he asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you know it all?" Having seen someone perform surgery is completely different from having done it yourself; she should know that, right? Not everything you've seen can be called "knowing".
However, Lin Wei directly took out the three qualification certificates. Of course, they weren't the originals, but photos of the certificates on her phone. The seals and issuing institutions on them couldn't be easily forged.
Director Yang glanced at it, and after confirming that it was true, a strange look appeared in his eyes. No wonder Director Chen valued her so much. She could learn so many surgeries in just two months. She really couldn't be treated like an ordinary intern.
Although she only has three surgical qualification certificates, there are many subcategories under them, and she can perform more than a dozen surgeries.
However, that was only cardiac surgery. It's unclear how well she'll learn neurosurgery. Director Yang thought to himself, "Neurosurgery is truly difficult," and he wouldn't accept any arguments against that.
In fact, he had never thought of having his students learn so many surgeries before. In his opinion, as long as they learned two level-two surgeries, they would pass the exam. However, it was clear that because Lin Wei's past performance was too outstanding, he had higher expectations for her.
Others might need two medium-difficulty removal surgeries, but she would need at least a complex level three surgery.
However, he hasn't gone so far as to put her on the operating table as soon as she enters the department, so he's letting her get acquainted with the department first, as well as some common cases and surgeries.
"Ask these doctors if you can, and if you can't find the answer, write it down and ask me later."
“I won’t treat you like a regular intern, feeding you bite by bite. So you have to take the initiative to learn and integrate into this department.” To him, she wasn’t a student, she was a doctor.
Students do not have independent medical practice qualifications.
Lin Wei had no objection to the request. "Okay, I understand."
Director Yang glanced at her, hoping she truly knew, and wasn't just pretending.
The atmosphere in neurosurgery is different from that in cardiac surgery. After Director Yang left, Lin Wei did not consult the attending physicians. Instead, she found an empty seat, sat down, and started looking at the medical records one by one.
They are all central nervous system diseases related to the brain and spinal cord, including cerebral hemorrhage caused by various reasons of craniocerebral injury, intracranial tumors, hydrocephalus, brain abscesses, and many more.
The doctors and nurses around were obviously very busy and had almost no time to rest. In addition, the patients who came here were all going to have surgery, and their faces were even more lifeless. So the whole department gave people a gloomy feeling, and even Lin Wei couldn't help but be affected by this atmosphere.
"This craniotomy is not easy, and there's also the use of all those machines." After reviewing all the cases, she admitted that she was also having a bit of a headache. She hadn't even finished learning all the cardiac surgery procedures, and this neurosurgery procedure was proving to be extremely challenging.
As we all know, the brain is the most dangerous part of the body. If something goes wrong here, it's no less serious than a heart problem.
While Lin Wei was pondering, those around her weren't entirely oblivious to her. Seeing that she was different from the usual timid students, acting as if she were already a member of the department, they couldn't help but marvel at her natural ease and familiarity.
I just don't know what she actually gleaned from those medical records.
However, no one paid any attention to her. Director Yang hadn't said they were to mentor her, so why would they bother to go up and talk to her? They hadn't received a raise, so why would they create trouble for themselves?
"But this newcomer isn't very bright either. At least he could be a little sweet-talker, but he's not as tactful as the last student." The group thought to themselves, completely unaware that the one who was supposed to be sweet-talker had been completely outmaneuvered by them.
So being sweet-talking is useless, especially since Lin Wei isn't as dull as they think. Why should she fawn over unfriendly people? It won't bring her any benefit. If she wants to gain respect from others, she must first respect herself.
In the hospital, competence is the most important thing. Of course, most importantly, she didn't think they could teach her anything. Writing medical records? Although each department is a little different, after reviewing all the materials, she felt that she wasn't incapable of it.
Compared to all these miscellaneous things, she still wanted to learn how to perform surgery. She hadn't forgotten that she hadn't been able to learn all the surgical procedures while she was in cardiac surgery.
During her time in the neurology department, she naturally wanted to learn as much as possible.
So after learning about the department, Lin Wei went to learn about the simplest surgeries in the department, Level 1 surgeries: cranial drilling and drainage and brain abscess puncture and drainage.
They all involve drilling holes in the head; someone with a weak heart wouldn't dare.
The process seemed quite simple, at least Lin Wei could understand it. After watching the video, she thought to herself, maybe she could give it a try? Cutting the skull should be similar to cutting the sternum, right?
She knows which instruments to use and the procedures, and she can perform coronary artery disease surgery independently. This drainage procedure doesn't seem particularly difficult either.
However, Lin Wei ultimately struggled with the machine; she didn't know how to use it. Luckily, this was in a simulation room. If it were an outside machine, it wouldn't be able to withstand her tinkering. Each machine costs at least several million, and if she broke it, she wouldn't have the money to pay for it.
Otherwise, why would they say that if there is any personal injury, you should hide under the most expensive machine?
If a person is injured, the hospital may not necessarily repair it, but if machinery is damaged, the hospital should make sure the person is bankrupt from paying compensation.
Lin Wei tried it many times before she finally figured out how to use the machine. She wouldn't say she was very proficient, but she roughly knew its functions and how to use it.
However, when she actually got to the operating table, looking at the shaved head and the marked surgical sites, she still couldn't bring herself to do it.
Can she guarantee that this surgery will be successful? How confident is she really?
Lin Wei's answer was that she wasn't sure, because she had never had a similar surgery. And since she hadn't done it, she couldn't.
Sometimes stability is good, but sometimes being too focused on stability can be detrimental, leading to reluctance to take action. At this point, Lin Wei considered a problem: if resources were limited, and there was no qualified doctor available, and she wasn't entirely confident of success, was she really going to just watch the patient die?
Her answer was surprisingly that she didn't know.
