Chapter 432 - 432 Genius is desired by all

Chapter 432: Genius is desired by all. Chapter 432: Genius is desired by all. The guidewire was inserted, and seeing that the guidewire entered smoothly, all the teachers once again confirmed that the puncture was accurate.

After the puncture needle was withdrawn, it was apparent that the elderly lady did not need her skin to be stretched. The catheter was inserted along the guidewire for about fifteen centimeters, then the guidewire was removed, and finally, placing a cotton ball at the suturing fixation would make the patient feel more comfortable.

The most difficult step was the puncture; as long as the puncture was accurately in the vein, all the subsequent steps were straightforward. Xie Wanying performed the rest of the actions steadily and without any sign of anxiety, because as someone who wasn’t just a greenhorn, she was very clear that after a successful first step, caution and care were necessary for the remaining steps, and avoidance of haste was paramount.

Having completed the puncture and tidied up the trash, everyone noticed that the old lady was sleeping, seemingly without any discomfort.

Doctor Shixu turned back to check on the patient’s blood pressure and heartbeat, ensuring the old lady was alright. If one listened carefully, they could hear the snoring sound coming from the old lady’s nostrils. The elderly, when ill, naturally tend to sleep a lot.

The nurse came in. Xie Wanying and the nurse dressed the old lady back into her patient gown together. As for Tan Kelin, it seemed he had foreseen her success at the moment she inserted the needle, and he had already left.

When Shi Xu and Sun Yubo left the ward together, Shi Xu tapped Sun Yubo’s head and said, “What’s wrong with you? How long do you plan to panic? She wasn’t panicking. She wasn’t even panicking the first time she did it.”

Was Shi Xu unaware? His student hadn’t panicked even when performing blind pericardial punctures in emergency cases. Sun Yubo was left helpless by his superior’s admonishment.

Seeing this, the other medical students turned to Zhao Zhaowei and their classmates, “Hey, tell us, where did you practice before?”

Don’t ask, okay? Even if they had practiced in an anatomy lab, it was completely different from performing procedures on living patients in a clinical setting.

“Your questions are useless,” Zhao Zhaowei and Li Qi’an quickly slipped away, and smart fellows like Yue Wentong and Lin Hao had already left early to avoid being hassled.

Returning to the office, Shi Xu asked Tan Kelin, “What’s her story?”

Unlike the few who had more contact with Xie Wanying and understood her well, this was the first time Shi Xu had witnessed her in action. He was amazed. It was rare to see a medical student perform a perfect subclavian vein puncture on the first try. No, he had never seen it before.

“You’d know if you listened to her answer,” Tan Kelin replied without lifting his head.

“She has a thorough understanding of anatomy,” Shi Xu recalled as he thought about Xie Wanying’s behavior before and after the procedure.

More than just an understanding. Hadn’t the neurosurgery doctors said that they thought she had a supercomputer in her brain? That she could quickly create three-dimensional anatomical images of patients in her mind? This was information Liu Chengran had gathered from inquiries. Tan Kelin thought to himself: their hospital’s neurosurgeons were brilliant at quickly recognizing her talent.

Shi Xu was stunned when he heard this, “What should be done with such a prodigy?”

What to do? The neurosurgery department had seen first and was eager to convince her to switch to neurosurgery.

Catching Tan Kelin’s meaningful glance, Shi Xu realized, “Right, why wouldn’t we want her?”

Whether they wanted her or not was one thing. Whether the department wanted her was another. Most importantly, what the hospital leadership thought mattered. It wasn’t up to the department to decide if they wanted someone.

Maybe the hospital leadership didn’t think their department was short-staffed and wouldn’t recruit for them. Such situations happened often. Or possibly, they might consider a talent to be suitable, but the hospital leadership disagreed. There was even the chance that, as with Cao Yong, the hospital leadership intended to place someone in a special department.
