“Did you hit an artery? I see Yingying pressing down really hard.” Zhao Zhaowei analyzed the top female student’s actions to guess the reason for the failure, and his guess was dead on.

Lin Hao rolled his eyes at the conversation between the two, then glanced at the class leader standing beside him.

Yue Wentong’s eyes were squinted, probably focusing on why Xie Wanying’s movement with the gauze seemed faster than the two doctors’ responses.

The surrounding noise finally woke up the nonagenarian grandma: “What’s happening?”

“It’s nothing,” Xie Wanying immediately turned her head to the patient upon hearing her speak, “Granny, they’re saying there’s a bird that has flown in, by the window. Look over there—”

The old lady, urged by those words, really did open her blurry presbyopic eyes toward the window, but in fact, she couldn’t see anything clearly. She imagined in her mind: “Is it a magpie?”

“Yes, it’s a magpie, Granny,” Xie Wanying replied to the patient.

The medical students leaning against the wall were bent over with laughter, desperately covering their mouths. Her blatant lies to the old lady were delivered so solemnly, and she actually fooled her.

Occasionally, one must learn to lie to patients. This experience was something she had learned on the very first day of her clinical studies by observing Senior Cao.

Senior Cao’s clinical experience was quite valuable, Xie Wanying thought to herself: Seeing the old lady being deceived in such a manner, she seemed less anxious and even laughed.

The door to the ward silently opened, and Tan Kelin, who walked in briskly, first scanned the group of laughing medical students.

The line of students who noticed him standing there immediately stood up straight, and anyone who had a smile on their face nearly cried.

The atmosphere turned serious again. Tan Kelin walked to the foot of the bed, his sharp, fast-moving gaze zeroing in on the surgical area where only Xie Wanying’s hand was pressing down hard with a piece of gauze. Her pressure was strong and precise, which is why there was only a tiny amount of blood seeping onto the gauze.

Shi Xu also observed this phenomenon. Therefore, the question he had been pondering had an answer: This female medical student hadn’t just stumbled upon the issue; she had truly anticipated the needle going into the artery prematurely, which was why she grabbed the gauze faster than he did.

“Did you hit an artery?” Tan Kelin glanced at the patient who appeared to be asleep and asked.

Sun Yubo adjusted his breathing on his way: “Yes, it might have gone in too deep.”

“You all were watching from the side. Do you think he went in too deep?” Tan Kelin’s gaze locked onto Xie Wanying’s hand pressing the gauze and asked again.

A group of people wondered whom he was addressing with this question.

Following this, Luo Yanfen, Li Wenhao, and Zhang Zhongqiang felt a surge of anxiety. Could it be that the question included expecting an answer from the three of them?

“Answer,” Shi Xu said to the four students across from him.

The medical students leaning against the wall looked scared and swallowed their saliva: This question was too tough to answer.

Luo Yanfen and the other two searched their memories frantically for the relevant anatomical diagrams, and just finding the diagrams wasn’t enough; they needed to analyze the situation in reality. They only remembered the textbooks stating that going too deep can mistakenly puncture the subclavian artery.

The three exchanged glances. Could the answer in the textbooks be wrong?

After a lengthy wait without a response from these individuals, the two lecturers understood: The students’ answers were as expected.

“What about your answer?” Shi Xu pointed at Xie Wanying.

“It wasn’t too deep; it’s because the angle during the puncture was too inclined towards the direction of the thyroid cartilage, too slanted. It missed the vein and went deeper into the artery. The subclavian artery and the subclavian vein aren’t in a completely vertical parallel relationship,” Xie Wanying said.
