Really? Was Teacher Tan preparing to tease her like everyone else? Or—

Xie Wanying clamped her mouth shut first, not daring to carelessly respond to the teacher’s words.

“In the future, most surgeries will be laparoscopic, and your fingers won’t fit.”

True to form, Teacher Tan didn’t bother with any compliments or congratulations, but just laid into her with another lashing: classmate, please continue to strive harder.

A rookie, thinking of sticking your tail up just after stepping through the door? No way!

Upon further reflection, Teacher Tan was right. If she had been more confident last night and used instruments instead of her fingers, she wouldn’t need to advance to laparoscopic later on. Sometimes fingers can be more convenient since instruments are cold and hard, and more likely to injure delicate tissues and organs. It’s similar to the difference between eating with your hands and using chopsticks, and right now, her skill level was akin to a child needing to learn how to use long chopsticks.

When others heard what Tan Kelin said, they sighed inwardly: Tan Kelin had really high expectations for her.

Indeed, given last night’s scenario with the incision of the hernia sac, the Chief Surgeon was just a medical student lacking experience. The seniors who passed by and saw her performance called her a “godly hand” somewhat exaggeratedly but not without some reason. Therefore, Tan Kelin’s expectations were genuinely high, hoping she’d use instruments to solve a problem that was usually hard for instruments to handle.

“Did you practice on your own regularly?”

Upon hearing Teacher Tan’s question, Xie Wanying immediately realized he was asking if she had diligently practiced laparoscopy, and she answered, “Yes.”

Tan Kelin seemed somewhat satisfied with her response and didn’t press further.

Xie Wanying’s heart raced: Could it be that her next opportunity was coming up soon?

While checking the wards, the postoperative stomach cancer patient in bed 3 was asked by the doctor to be discharged, and the patient’s family pleaded with the doctor, “He seems to have recovered very well in the hospital, can he stay until his chemotherapy is complete?”

“His chemotherapy has to wait for several months; it’s not possible to have him stay in the hospital for so many months,” the doctor told the patient and his family. “Other patients who need surgery have been waiting outside the hospital for a long time. He is now in a condition that allows going home to recuperate.”

The gaze of the patient’s family turned toward Xie Wanying. Other doctors noticed this scene.

It seemed that everyone in the ward knew that Dr. Xie was the easiest to talk to.

Xie Wanying, caught by the teachers’ returning gazes, felt sobered, realizing she couldn’t possibly agree to let the patient in bed 3 stay in the hospital. So she approached the family and said, “The patient needs to return to society after recovery. Staying too long could lead to detachment from society, which is not the purpose of medical treatment. He should eventually become a healthy person once more—isn’t this what you and he are looking forward to?”

Doubt flickered across the family of bed 3’s faces.

Good hospitals and good doctors may create an unhealthy over-reliance in patients and their families. Hospitals themselves harbor many bacteria and need daily disinfection. No doctor likes to stay in the hospital when not working. Patients who are weak are better off recuperating at home rather than at the hospital. Superbugs, for instance, arise in hospitals.

After Xie Wanying explained this to the patient and his family, they seemed to better understand the doctor’s well-intentioned arrangements, but still worried.

“When you go home, don’t worry that the doctors and nurses won’t take care of you. What doctors fear more is patients not coming in for scheduled follow-ups.”

These words from Xie Wanying eased the family’s concerns completely.

However, the family from bed 3 told her, “We adults are fine, but the kid is probably going to cry when discharged.”

During her hospital stay, Xiao Yazhi won the affection and admiration of the medical staff with her cooperative demeanor and received plenty of love from her fellow patients. The teachers going to check on Yazhi were satisfied with the child’s recovery progress and discussed the matter of discharge with her father, “She has to be discharged next week.”
