If you want to be a cardiac surgeon, you must touch a living human heart.
The human heart that you touch in medical school is dead, and you can only have such an opportunity in the hospital. You can imagine that a dead heart and a living heart feel different, but the question is what the difference is. You need to touch it with your own hands, otherwise you will never know the truth by just imagining.
Only by gaining experience from touching a living human heart can you know what it feels like to open a patient's chest and touch his heart.
This is the first time that a teacher told you, Zhang, that you can touch your heart.
Zhang Shuping felt his sympathetic nerves were excited again. Following Teacher Xie, he was no longer afraid of having nightmares dominated by the parasympathetic nerves.
To be sure, there are many benefits to following Teacher Xie. Teacher Xie is young and may not seem like a big shot, but he is actually a big shot. If there is a difficult case like this, he can solve it himself without calling a big shot.
You said that if he was arranged to work with a big boss who already enjoyed a great reputation, he would have to wait in line to pull a hook on the operating table. If he wanted to get the opportunity to touch the human heart in a short period of time, he would have to arrange it personally by his uncle Zhang, which was equivalent to using the back door.
His uncle was a smart man. He must have determined early on that Teacher Xie was capable and arranged for him to study with Teacher Xie directly, saving him from countless troubles in between. He could study with a legitimate reason without having to find any backdoors.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Shuping stretched out his gloved hand and followed Teacher Xie's instructions, carefully inserting it into the surgical incision.

Seeing this scene, Dr. Tang and the nurse smiled: Medical students are always so cute.
Zhang Shuping's face turned red under the mask. He raised his eyes and looked at Teacher Xie opposite him. The eyes looked at him with a bit of strictness but also with the tenderness of a senior, which made his heart beat faster.
The tip of his finger touched the pericardium. It was his first time touching it, so he certainly didn't dare to touch it any further. He kept a proper distance outside the pericardium, letting his finger feel the beating of the human heart through the pericardium.
How can I describe this feeling?
Before he had touched it before, when he and his classmates discussed it, they imagined the human heart to be like a lively balloon, with elastic puffing sounds, which exactly corresponded to the puffing curve on the ECG monitor.
In fact, he also knew that this imagination was probably wrong. In medical school, there was no chance to touch a living human heart, but there was a chance to touch a living animal heart.
He touched the living hearts of rabbits and mice. The heart, a symbol of life, did not beat randomly, but had a very regular rhythm of contraction and relaxation like a machine.
A living heart is not a beating balloon, but a "biological mechanical structure" in the precise operation of life. Therefore, just like the second hand of a watch needs to move once before the hour hand moves, each component operates in sequence.
"How does it feel?" Dr. Tang asked the medical student.
Zhang Shuping concentrated on the feeling of his hands and replied, "After jumping this one, I will jump to the next one."
After answering, he quickly looked up at Teacher Xie and asked: Did I touch it correctly?
Xie Wanying nodded to the student with a smile in her eyes and said, "Let's wrap it up."
"Yes, teacher." Zhang Shuping immediately retracted his hand and cooperated with Teacher Xie to finish the work carefully.
While Xie Wanying continued to perform the rest of the operation with her student, she heard a scream from her junior fellow student outside.
After disinfecting his wound, Mi Wenlin hurried back, intending to catch the last train for his senior sister's surgery. When he got back, he suddenly found other big guys there!
