I really have to be the main surgeon.
She had been preparing for this for a long time. Surgery is nothing more than a few basic skills: aseptic concept, incision, hemostasis, suturing. She practiced these basic skills for many years before and after her rebirth as a medical student. Therefore, she adapted very quickly after entering the clinic.
Washing her hands at the sink, Xie Wanying calmed down and thought.
Enter the operating room and put on surgical gowns. Liu Chengran and another rookie student, Li Qian'an, completed the disinfection of the patient's operating area.
As soon as everyone was ready, the operation began.
"Knife." Xie Wanying stretched out her right hand.
The nurse handed her the scalpel.
The scalpel was short and sharp. Holding the scalpel in her right hand, the nerves at her fingertips were cold and hot, almost making her fingers tremble and her joints stiff. This was not a corpse in the dissection room, nor any dead object during practice. With her eyes, she could clearly see the rise and fall of the patient's abdominal skin and abdominal breathing. This was a living human body.
My heart was shrinking. I felt that standing here, holding this knife, it would only take a moment for me to decide whether to kill or save someone.
...
...
With a snap, the scalpel in her hand was quickly cut into the skin of her abdomen. With one cut, blood beads rolled out and soon turned into a small river of blood.
The assistant used gauze to hold down the blood on the skin.
"Continue," the teacher ordered.
Xie Wanying picked up the electric knife like a machine's hand, executing a program.
The first assistant glanced at the second assistant who was standing blankly beside him and said, "What are you standing there for?"
Li Qi'an was confused. He didn't expect his classmate, the lead surgeon, to be so quick in cutting. In contrast, he, the second assistant, had not yet adjusted to the state of the surgery.
It was an emergency surgery that happened suddenly during the night shift. The hot and humid air he exhaled soaked the mask, and Li Qi'an was sweating all over, and his limbs felt a little stiff. Teacher Liu said he was stunned, and he really was stunned.
Snap! The teacher used the hemostatic forceps to slap the back of his hand. It hurt so much that his eyebrows arched up.
"How dare you sleep with me!"
"I'm not asleep, teacher!"
He was just stunned. He really hadn't slept. Li Qian'an tried to curl his lips with a wronged look behind his mask.
"Hook him!" Liu Chengran instructed.
The nurse handed Li Qi'an a retractor. He pulled it and held the retractor wrapped in gauze. He became more and more nervous and his whole body was shaking.
Liu Chengran couldn't take care of him as he needed to keep a close eye on the movements of the student performing the surgery.
Tonight was the first time for his student to perform surgery, so he, as a teacher, had to be extremely alert and make sure that every move of his student escaped his scrutiny. It could be said that he was even more nervous than his student.
When a rookie takes the stage for the first time, anything unexpected may happen.
There is no medical student who can successfully perform his first surgery perfectly. There will be some corrections from the teacher during the operation. As a teacher, he is very clear about this.
"Your electric knife is not placed close enough to the skin. What are you afraid of?" Liu Chengran pointed at Xie Wanying opposite him with the suction tube head.
The teacher's words were like thunder in her ears during the tense operation, and her eardrums were thumping. Xie Wanying knew that she had to clear her mind. The burn marks formed by the hemostasis were not close enough to the skin, and it might be easy to bleed again. Why not? Because she was afraid. She didn't expect that she would be afraid like Teacher Sun one day. So this is what the chief surgeon is like. There is really a psychological barrier.
She had practiced using an electric knife to stop bleeding. Teacher Sun knew she was deft and had tried it on her several times during surgery. She had an impression of it in her mind, but when she was the surgeon herself, she was not ruthless enough.
