Chapter 102: [102] Overnight Success 1

“Send her to the CT room for a scan immediately,” Cao Yong ordered with a serious expression.

Director Lv was also anxious, “Quick, quick—”

The CT results were produced at the fastest speed.

A few doctors stood in the office reviewing the films.

The medical students all stood around the perimeter, following along to learn, with some of their gazes circling around Xie Wanying’s face:

“Could it be that she got it right?”

...

“Even if she did, it’s not a big deal, after all—”

What these medical students meant was that they no longer unconditionally sided with Director Lv and Doctor Wang as they had at the beginning. Because medicine is the most scientific discipline, which seeks truth from facts, the correctness of a claim must be evidenced through facts.

Now that the films had come out, by merely observing the expressions of Director Lv and Doctor Wang, they could tell that something was indeed growing inside the female patient’s head, confirming that Xie Wanying’s lone assertion was utterly correct.

So it wasn’t a moral issue that the medical students had initially scoffed at Xie Wanying, it was just that who would have thought that a trainee on her first day of clinical practice would win an academic debate against the department head? After all, clinical experience is what counts in medicine, and all achievements in medicine depend more on the accumulation of clinical experience than on theory. With the director’s many years of clinical experience, by all logic, the trainee had no chance of winning.

The current situation only made the medical students think: Could it be that this rumored academic powerhouse from the eight-year program has an exceptional medical talent!?

“I heard she outperformed all forty-nine of her male classmates in each and every subject.”

“So what if that’s true. Exams in medical school test theoretical knowledge.”

“Maybe her solid theoretical knowledge is why her judgment is more accurate than the director’s?”

“Impossible. The theoretical knowledge from textbooks is vastly different when applied to clinical practice. Clinical phenomena are much more complex than what’s described in textbooks. Just by reading textbooks, you cannot make accurate clinical judgments. Clinical practice is all about experience.”

The medical students kept arguing among themselves.

“What exactly are the results of the films?”

The medical students collectively looked towards the clinical doctors.

Doctor Wang could barely contain himself and, with a changed complexion, he whispered to Director Lv: “It seems there really is a tumor growing inside her brain.”

Shock! Doctor Wang’s comment put an end to the medical students’ debate.

The trainee had won against the director.

The medical students didn’t know how to react, their gazes towards Xie Wanying no longer carried any contempt or mockery, but were as complicated internally as the forty-nine male students in her class.

If the surprise of her male classmates on the first day of school years ago, from being called ‘Little Princess’ to stunning the whole class, took just one lesson, then undoubtedly this time, she might just explode the minds of all medical students on her first night as a trainee.

Would she become famous overnight?

It was quite possible.

For this reason, the students’ eyes were all focused on the CT films clipped to the light box, a series of radiological films that under the white light tubes resembled the world’s most top-tier labyrinthine puzzles.

Doctors solve the world’s most difficult questions every day, as they relate to the most mysterious subject of the human body. Not to mention these were brain films. The brain is the most enigmatic organ in the human body, and to this day, humankind hasn’t been able to fully decipher it, only able to research a very small part of its functions, and even then, it remains uncertain whether that part is all there is.
