Chapter 97 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
She didn't know what she would do because she didn't consider herself an impulsive person, but she knew that people could become impulsive in certain circumstances. So she didn't know what she would choose if she were really in that situation.
Unsurprisingly, she was determined to perform the surgery. If it didn't work out, she'd just finish and put it back together as it was. Looking at the round head, she thought to herself, "I don't want to be the one following my supervising doctor through every surgery. That would be too slow and too passive."
It doesn't matter if you get your certification early or late, but you absolutely must know how to perform surgery.
So Lin Wei went ahead with it. Brain surgery is similar to open-chest surgery, only the surgical site and tools are different. Listening to the drilling sound and smelling the aroma of meat, Lin Wei connected the hematoma aspiration needle to the electric drill and drilled vertically into the skull.
"catheter."
"physiological saline solution".
As her voice faded, those things appeared in her hands. First, she rinsed it, then injected saline solution to expel the air. Because it was a single-hole device, this procedure did not require special treatment.
Once most of the air has been expelled, the irrigation catheter is removed, and a drainage tube is inserted to slowly aspirate the hematoma.
Actually, the operation is quite simple; in fact, it's even simpler than she imagined.
However, since this was an unfamiliar surgery, Lin Wei did not dare to relax easily. Therefore, the subsequent clamping of the drainage tube and the administration of drugs such as urokinase and heparin into the hematoma cavity were all carried out in an orderly manner without any carelessness.
Afterwards, the gaps around the bone hole were filled, the layers were sutured, the drainage was opened, and gauze was applied for pressure. Everything was done exactly as instructed in the instructional video, without the slightest mistake.
The surgery was over quickly.
Lin Wei smiled when she heard the A+ grade given by the simulation room. She didn't care anymore whether it was A+, A, or A-; as long as it was an A, it was pretty good.
This was the first time she had learned to perform a surgery on her own, and the feeling was even more exhilarating than when she learned radiofrequency ablation. It meant that there were some surgeries she could actually perform.
As long as she knows how the entire surgical procedure is performed, has a sufficient understanding of the anatomical structure, and has some understanding of and solutions for the difficulties encountered during the operation, there are some surgeries that she can actually try to perform, such as the cranial drilling and drainage procedure, or the brain abscess puncture and drainage procedure.
Even so, Lin Wei did not immediately begin the next surgery. Although this surgery was relatively simple, it would be a lie to say that she performed it with great skill and fluency. Now, she was determined to make it smooth and efficient.
So, in the simulation room, A+ comments rang out everywhere. If you can get an A+ on the first case, how could the subsequent ones be any worse? So Lin Wei became more and more skilled. Even if there were a few minor problems in the surgeries, they were not due to her own technical issues, but rather to the patients themselves. For example, the size of the hematoma was slightly different, and the level of danger had increased. But the skull had already been opened, and you couldn't put it back together at this point, so Lin Wei continued.
Of course, thanks to her carefulness, the surgery was still completed very successfully.
Time passed quickly within the system space, but time passed slowly outside. It was only when she felt ready to start the next procedure that Lin Wei attempted the brain abscess drainage surgery. Not all abscesses require craniotomy; craniotomy is only necessary when the abscess is too large or accompanied by brain herniation. With her previous experience in craniotomy drainage, the brain abscess surgery was completed without any unexpected complications.
It's very easy.
After learning these two surgeries, Lin Wei gradually felt more at ease in the neurosurgery department. She felt terrible about not knowing anything, and she needed to use these two surgeries to establish her status as a genius. Only then would Director Yang take her seriously and teach her more.
Indeed, hospitals are places that value ability. It's not that Director Yang can't teach students; he even has two graduate students. But who has the time to teach another student? Given that he doesn't lack students, what would he value? Of course, it's ability.
Anyway, when Lin Wei learned those two Level 1 surgeries at a very fast pace, he stopped looking at her like an ordinary intern. Is this the ability to learn most of the cardiac surgery in two months? She actually learned Level 1 neurosurgery so easily.
It was precisely because he had two graduate students to compare with that he realized how terrifying her learning speed was.
Even though he practiced several surgeries before he learned to perform those two procedures, she only watched one. He originally intended to guide her on the second one, but there was nothing he could do to guide her at all.
Director Yang originally wanted to tell her to be down-to-earth and not to be arrogant just because she had learned two surgeries before, but he couldn't say it. What else could he say? At this moment, he looked at his two graduate students. They were so young, yet they had already mastered so many surgeries. Why did he still have to chase after them and feed them?
Lin Wei modestly said, "I feel that there is not much difference between craniotomy and thoracotomy. As long as you understand the anatomical structure and are careful, it will be fine."
Those two graduate students seemed to have been captivated by her. Sister, please stop talking. Didn't you see that Director Yang's eyes were practically shooting them to death?
It's not that I'm afraid my brothers are dirt poor, it's that I'm afraid they drive Land Rovers. That's exactly what they're like now. The more capable Lin Wei is, the more incompetent they seem. Even Director Yang is wondering why he took in two idiots.
Here, the two graduate students had a rebuttal. They weren't fools; it was clearly her who was too abnormal. If she was so capable, she should take in more students like Lin Wei and see if she could.
Regardless, after those two surgeries, Lin Wei had completely integrated into the neurosurgery department. Mainly because the two graduate students were quite familiar with her, and Director Yang's attitude was very clear, so naturally, everyone became friendly and welcoming towards her.
Ultimately, the department is also a place of fame and fortune. Having Director Chen's connection at most means that people won't make things difficult for her, but to truly establish herself here, she needs to consider the director's attitude and her own talent and ability.
At least they know that this newcomer is very different from the previous talent development personnel.
Director Yang originally wanted to help her apply for the assessment, but Lin Wei stopped him. "I want to learn more surgeries before taking the assessment," she said, saving those experts from Kyoto from having to travel back and forth.
Director Yang ultimately had no objection to this.
However, one thing did disrupt the plan. Director Chen Yongyuan did not expect that what he said earlier would actually come true. A patient who needed radiofrequency ablation came to him, and the patient was no ordinary person. He was brought by the hospital director.
"I heard that you previously completed a highly complex radiofrequency ablation surgery. This patient has a similar condition. Are you confident that you can perform this surgery again?" Because he did not know the specifics, the director of the Sichuan Provincial Hospital pulled Director Chen aside and asked in a low voice.
Chen Yongyuan hesitated for a moment, "I did successfully perform a surgery before, but I didn't do it myself. I was just an assistant. Moreover, the surgery was successful because three people worked together. To be honest, if you ask me if it's 100% successful again, I can't say for sure." This surgery is already very special. It's already lucky to have one successful surgery. Who knows what the outcome will be if we do another one?
The Sichuan Provincial President asked only this one question: "What is the approximate success rate?"
Chen Yongyuan looked at him and said, "It's either 0 or 100%." That's how it is for him anyway. If even one person makes a mistake, the probability is 0.
The Sichuan Provincial Governor said, "Let me be frank with you, the people there are high-ranking officials. Although they've retired, they still wield considerable influence. We in Sichuan must secure this favor." It's hard to say when we might need to use this favor.
However, if the surgery fails, although nothing will happen, it wouldn't be surprising if he, the hospital director, were to suddenly step down one day.
Because of this, he was also wondering whether to let someone take on this task. If he didn't, then they could be transferred to another hospital. If he did, it might be a thankless task.
Because of this, he hesitated for a while, but ultimately decided not to accept the call.
The risk is too great; he can't afford to take it.
However, Sichuan Province did not want to take on the surgery, but Guo Jianbai refused, "I heard that your Director Chen completed a similar surgery and the paper was just published online. If anyone in the country can succeed in this surgery, he is the only one who can perform the surgery on my father. You say no, do you not want to treat my father?"
The reason he was able to send people to Sichuan Province was probably because he had heard about successful cases there. If they were to transfer to another hospital, they wouldn't be able to find one with a higher success rate than this one.
Ultimately, the hospital director and Director Chen had no choice but to proceed with the surgery. However, this time they weren't asking for anything in return; they were just happy to complete the surgery safely.
Because of this, Director Zheng was invited first, followed by Lin Wei.
In the neurosurgery department, when Director Yang received the call, his eyes were strange. Although Chen Yongyuan had said that he would borrow her if needed, he did not expect that he was telling the truth. What kind of surgery would require her to the point that it was indispensable?
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Lin Wei and said, "Director Chen of the cardiac surgery department has a patient who needs surgery, and he wants you to assist him."
Lin Wei knew what kind of surgery it was as soon as she heard it. "Shall I go over now?" In fact, she had also received a message from Director Chen. She was just calling him to let him know, since she was still interning in his department.
Director Yang nodded, and after Lin Wei took a few steps, he said, "Wait, I'll go with you." He wanted to see what kind of surgery required an intern like her.
After they left, the doctors who had overheard these words exchanged bewildered glances, wondering if Lin Wei was really that capable. They had even hired someone from the cardiac surgery department to work with her. They had thought the previous remarks were just polite formalities.
A doctor who had completed a residency rotation in cardiac surgery immediately picked up his phone, asked which department the doctor was in, and then received the news that a very important person had come to cardiac surgery. The department head and hospital director were all there, and a director from another city had also come.
