Chapter 99 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
That's enough to show how much effort she expended.
Every time she paused for a moment, the people around her were incredibly nervous, fearing she wouldn't be able to hold on, since Director Zheng no longer had the energy to take over.
Fortunately, Lin Wei only paused for a moment and then quickly continued.
She stared intently at the blood vessels on the angiography machine, oblivious to all other sounds, her mind consumed by a single, unwavering thought: to complete the surgery.
Because of this, she could even ignore the soreness in her hands; when you're numb, you can probably ignore everything.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the catheter reached the heart, and in that instant, she moved incredibly fast.
The lesion was located, and the current was released. It was as if I had done it a thousand times before, and it went extremely smoothly.
Just when everyone thought the surgery would be successful and were beaming with joy, she stopped and said to Director Zheng, "Teacher, come and take over."
At this point, the only remaining part of the surgery was to remove the catheter.
Director Zheng: "What's wrong? Isn't it just the last step?" But he still came over.
Lin Wei raised her eyes and said calmly, "I don't feel well. I think I'm going to faint." Perhaps because she was tense earlier, she suddenly relaxed and all the aftereffects came over her. Lin Wei really felt like she was going to faint.
But it was precisely because of her calm voice that people thought she was joking.
Even so, Director Zheng quickly took the catheter from her hand, and the scrub nurse also came to her side. They initially thought she was joking, but who would have thought that she would actually faint after the handover of the surgery.
Alright, the surgery successfully made both of them dizzy.
Fortunately, after the surgery, they checked on her and found that she was too tired to continue and had fallen asleep.
That makes sense; after such a tiring surgery, it's understandable that he might fall asleep. So, besides the patient, Lin Wei was also the one who was wheeled back on the trolley in the end.
One went back to the ward, and the other was sent to the cardiac surgery on-call room to rest.
"Thankfully, she completed the surgery; otherwise, I really don't know what we would have done," Director Chen said with some guilt. To be honest, he felt bad about letting a young girl take the blame for him.
Fortunately, she was unharmed; she was alright, and her hand was fine.
Director Zheng: "That was the operating table. It's normal for her to make that choice, but I didn't expect her to be able to hold on." I originally thought that two hours was her limit, but I didn't expect her to last another hour and a half.
The only aftereffect was that she would sleep for a day and a night, and her hand would be temporarily unable to undergo surgery for a week.
At this moment, everyone exclaimed, "She is stronger than we were when we were young." At least they couldn't have done it back then.
The Sichuan Provincial Hospital director handled the follow-up conversation with Guo Jianbai. No one would steal the credit that belonged to Lin Wei, nor could they. After all, he had overheard everything outside the operating room.
"This girl is quite lucky." She doesn't need this favor right now, but that doesn't mean she won't need it in the future. However, while the Sichuan Provincial Hospital director was regretful, he didn't feel it was a great loss, since the success of the surgery was already quite an achievement.
Because of this, he looked at Director Yang and said, "Our Sichuan province owes her a favor for this matter. You can teach her, but don't offend anyone." Everyone knows his stubborn temper; he only cares about those he likes and treats those he doesn't. And his department is known to be quite a commotion.
Every now and then a nurse comes along having an affair with a married doctor, or another female doctor has her husband stolen by another female doctor. This kind of unhealthy trend will have to be eradicated sooner or later.
Director Yang said helplessly, "I know." All the knowledge she gained was handed over to the state; what good would it do to offend her? He wasn't stupid.
I just didn't expect a student who had just started clinical practice to have such great energy. Back then, which of them didn't work hard in their studies, go through the operating table, internships and residency training step by step? She skipped many steps.
Anyway, when Lin Wei woke up, the cardiac surgeons looked at her with curiosity, wondering what kind of superhuman abilities she had.
However, I couldn't figure it out.
Director Zheng: "I've discussed it with Director Chen of the Cardiac Surgery Department. If he has any surgeries you haven't seen before, he'll ask you to observe them. If there are any in Han-Shah City, I'll also ask you to go back."
This was one of the benefits he secured for Lin Wei. If she could study nearby, that would be good. It would be more convenient than flying to Hanshao City.
He didn't necessarily want her to learn from him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, teacher." Although she knew he recognized her talent, she couldn't deny that he had indeed taken good care of her.
Director Zheng didn't say anything, only said, "Study hard." Then he didn't stay in the city for long and left in a hurry.
He waited for her to wake up and saw that she was recovering well before leaving, which was undoubtedly a sign of his concern.
Since she didn't see Director Chen, Lin Wei didn't wait for him to return. She just told him on WeChat and went back to the neurosurgery department.
At this moment, everyone looked at her and asked, "What were you doing in the cardiac surgery department? I heard you performed surgery? What kind of surgery did you perform?"
Lin Wei: "It's just radiofrequency ablation, but the patient's condition is a bit complicated." The fact that she has to be involved in such a complicated procedure speaks volumes about her special status.
Since they didn't get any important information from Lin Wei, they directly asked someone they knew in the cardiac surgery department, and then they found out what kind of surgery it was.
The patient, suffering from atrial fibrillation with fragile and narrowed blood vessels, frail health, advanced age, and numerous age-related illnesses, was extremely difficult to diagnose with radiofrequency ablation. There were no qualified candidates available nationwide.
Director Chen, Director Zheng from Hanshao City, and Lin Wei are the only people in the country who have collaborated on this surgery.
The word "unique" carries significant weight.
Wow, she's amazing!
No wonder he learned Level 1 surgery so easily. Because his foundation is very solid, even if he changes to another department, apart from some different procedures, the operation is basically the same.
However, upon hearing that she had fainted from exhaustion while performing a surgery, the group still instinctively underestimated her.
If they can't even last a few hours, what if they have to have surgery that takes more than ten hours?
I never imagined that cardiac surgery would be different from neurosurgery. Complex radiofrequency ablation is also different from ordinary radiofrequency ablation.
During this week, although Lin Wei did not participate in the surgeries, she followed many surgeries. Some of these surgeries were level one surgeries, and some were level two surgeries. The simple ones were scalp tumor resection and subtemporal muscle decompression, while the difficult ones were depressed skull fracture reduction and cerebrospinal fluid leakage repair.
She memorized almost everything after reading it only once, and could even answer the questions Director Yang asked her about every detail.
To be honest, after teaching one genius, when he asked the other two students, Director Yang felt that he spent each day in a state of mixed feelings of comfort and anger.
When teaching geniuses, he only thought of himself as a very good teacher. However, when teaching graduate students, he returned to reality, and that was his true teaching level.
Rotten wood, a bunch of rotten wood.
The two graduate students looked at Lin Wei with resentment in their eyes. "Dr. Lin, you single-handedly made our previously kind professor turn against us." Heaven knows how much they missed their former teacher.
Despite her short temper, she still has a deep and abiding love for others.
Now, let's not even talk about it; it's good enough if we don't call them stupid.
Lin Wei paused for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, "Then I'm sorry?" But there was absolutely no hint of apology in her tone. Was she really that clever?
It can only be said that geniuses are always lonely.
Once her hand had recovered sufficiently, Lin Wei began performing surgeries one by one. With her previous experience using the machines and performing surgeries, she picked it up very quickly. If you didn't know it was her first time performing this surgery, you wouldn't guess she was a novice.
She had actually learned all of the things she had seen before.
However, compared to these surgeries, what Lin Wei most wanted to learn was nerve suturing surgery.
Upon hearing her request to learn, Director Yang looked at her in confusion, "Why do you want to learn this surgery?" When most people hear about neurosurgery, they think of brain surgery, but she actually wants to learn this.
Lin Wei: "Because I saw a surgeon whose hand was injured and he couldn't perform surgery. At that time, I thought, if only I had excellent nerve suturing skills, I could help in similar situations in the future." No one knows better than her how important a hand is to a surgeon, which is why she can empathize so much.
Although she didn't know why his hand was ruined, she didn't want to see anything like that happen again.
Director Yang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Lin Wei didn't know why, but he had a rough idea. These days, there aren't many reasons that could cause a doctor's most cherished hand to get injured, especially such a serious injury.
It's good that she has the intention. However, nerve suturing is not easy to learn, especially since once the nerves in the hand are severed, no matter how well they are sutured, it will never look more natural than when the nerves were in their prime.
However, Lin Wei had also considered this point. Otherwise, why would she have asked Chi Boyan to research it? It doesn't necessarily have to be mass-produced, but it must be useful in critical moments.
She was also afraid that something might happen to her hand one day, so she wanted to have a backup plan. Whether it was for surgery or biological experiments, her hand was very useful.
Although Director Yang didn't think she could learn it in a short time like with the previous surgeries, he still agreed to her request. "You can first learn about some materials and videos on nerve suturing. When patients come to the hospital, I'll demonstrate for you." He also asked other hospitals to keep an eye on things, although he didn't think that if there were peripheral nerve ruptures, people would go to the neighboring hospitals instead of the Sichuan Provincial Hospital.
They are all in the top three, but there is a difference in their strength.
Lin Wei nodded after hearing this, "Thank you, teacher."
Director Yang turned around and glanced at his students again. They had already requested nerve suturing surgery, while what about them? How could they be so bold as to make such a request to him?
The two graduate students were speechless. They were used to it. Ever since Lin Wei came, their status had been declining.
But they've learned quite well, haven't they? They can at least perform level two surgeries now, although unlike Lin Wei, who can perform surgeries independently, they can't.
At this moment, they felt a pang of envy. Was this what it meant to be a member of the Talent Strengthening Program? The benefits were truly amazing. She could now perform surgeries that only attending physicians could do. If she could learn the surgeries performed by the chief surgeon… wow, the group couldn't even imagine it.
That's why the Talent Strengthening Program is such a fast track to success; it can save people decades of hard work. While others have to painstakingly work their way up in professional titles and seniority, she doesn't have to. As long as you have the ability, the green light will still shine on you.
The benefits may not be obvious now, but we'll see in the future.
Looking at the certificates she had received—radiofrequency ablation, congenital heart disease correction, coronary artery bypass grafting, Level 1 neurosurgery (scalp tumor resection, subgaleal hematoma resection, subtemporal decompression, brain abscess puncture and drainage, intracranial hematoma evacuation, etc.), and Level 2 neurosurgery (posterior fossa hematoma evacuation, cerebrospinal fluid repair, depressed skull fracture reduction, etc.)—Lin Wei was amazed at how many surgical qualifications she had acquired.
