Chapter 439 - 439 Surgical Outcome

Chapter 439: Surgical Outcome Chapter 439: Surgical Outcome She hadn’t expected that her glance back would be caught by Teacher Tan.

Tan Kelin’s eyes darted over to her momentarily.

She received that look from the teacher and there was no taking it back. It was likely he’d continue to critique her homework. Left with no choice, Xie Wanying gave up and left, her white coat pocket already carrying a new notebook.

Lost in thought as she walked, Xie Wanying couldn’t fathom how Teacher Tan would review her notebook. Unlike reports, neatly written for teachers and leaders, her notes were disorganized—unreadable to anyone but herself.

The other teachers in the office had also seen her notebook. Particularly Sun Yubo, who had been shocked when he first flipped through it—it was too disorganized. Aside from the beautifully drawn anatomy sketches, at a closer look everything was still a mess, surrounded by a bunch of odd symbols and annotations that likely even she couldn’t decipher anymore.

The problem was this student; always neatly dressed, hair never out of place, and meticulous in her work. How could her notebook be so untidy?

Another question on everyone’s mind was why Tan Kelin would want to see her notebook.

Gathering their courage, Liu Chengran and Shi Xu sneakily took the opportunity to peek at the notebook when Tan Kelin turned his back. Inside, they saw many circles drawn in red pen: had the associate professor really been correcting her notebook?

Descending into the operating room, Xie Wanying got dressed in the scrub suit and encountered Doctor Jiang from General Surgery Department One, greeting him with, “Teacher Jiang.”

“Come.” Doctor Jiang beckoned her to assist and asked, “Have you heard?”

Xie Wanying had just inquired the nurses about Sister Qiaowen’s condition, “How did Sister Qiaowen’s surgery turn out?”

“It seems like something happened over the weekend, they didn’t tell you, did they?” asked Doctor Jiang.

It looked like her and her two Senior Sisters’ embarrassing incident had spread throughout the hospital. Xie Wanying covered her face inwardly.

“I told you before, you’re always very eager to participate in resuscitations. But remember to protect yourself,” Doctor Jiang once again reminded her as a mentor to pay attention to safety.

“Yes, Teacher Jiang,” Xie Wanying accepted the instruction.

Despite the advice, Doctor Jiang could tell from her resolution that, in the heat of a resuscitation, she would likely forget to protect herself again. Only time and experience in clinical practice would help her adjust. So, he promptly changed the subject, “Our department’s nurse Li Qiaowen had her surgery yesterday. The pathology results showed a cyst, much like your diagnosis. The calcifications inside were probably stones. But you know, it’s good it was found early and the area was treated. Otherwise, there might have been a risk of cancer later on, and it would be too late. She’s very grateful to you.”

“No need for thanks,” said Xie Wanying.

“No need for thanks, you mean to say any doctor would have done the same, right?” Doctor Jiang patted her on the shoulder, “Sometimes, it’s meaningful to accept a patient’s gratitude.”

When someone wholeheartedly wants to thank you, and you constantly refuse, acting like a stranger, it can actually make the patients feel bad.

The words of her medical senior made Xie Wanying reflect deeply.

Afterward, she and Doctor Jiang went their separate ways to attend to their duties.

Upon entering the operating room, she found the chief Senior Sister administering anesthesia to a patient.

The patient was set to undergo combined spinal and general anesthesia.

Lau Jingyun was becoming increasingly skilled and quickly managed the spinal block and left the epidural catheter in place.

Luo Yanfen, Li Wenhao, and Zhang Zhongqiang had also come down to the operating room and offered their help to Xie Wanying.
