"Its original diameter might have been very small, which the patient hadnât had checked with a brain vascular exam before, so weâre unclear," Xie Wanying said. "However, Senior Cao, using his hands, sensed an abnormal fluctuation at its opening. The anterior choroidal artery has several branches. Senior Cao, utilizing his skill, pinpointed the problematic branch. Once the catheter was inserted, it was further confirmed that its diameter was abnormal and enlarged. Whether it was an aneurysm is difficult to say, but Senior Cao decided to embolize it, yielding immediate results. Post-examination showed that it didnât affect the blood supply to other brain tissues. It indicates that Senior Cao was very confident about its compensating collateral branches, something the Chief Surgeon had somewhat anticipated and estimated pre-surgery."
Wow. Huang Zhileiâs glasses gleamed with excitement, thinking: Junior Sisterâs brain is fast becoming the tape recorder and earthworm for Senior Caoâs hands.
Song Xueling raised his mischievous eyebrows: Dr. Xieâs three-dimensional brain is also quite remarkable.
"Did you have the predictions she mentioned before todayâs surgery?" Zhai Yunsheng turned back, deliberately asking his nephew.
Xie Wanying also wanted to know the answer to this question, turning to look at Senior Cao.
Facing everyoneâs gaze, Cao Yong chuckled, saying, "You all think Iâm too omnipotent."
Junior Sister, donât think of me as so magical.
Thatâs how Senior Cao put it. Xie Wanying only felt that, with these words, if Senior Caoâs brain didnât predict the pre-surgery, then his hands would definitely seem magical.
"No, no," seeing the hint in her eyes, Cao Yong denied repeatedly, "Experience plays a huge role."
Donât be intimidated by me. Cao Yong almost wanted to complain wildly.
To be honest, Junior Sister and the others are young, with fewer surgeries under their belts than him. His confidence in the patientâs compensatory circulation is surely judged during the surgery based on previous surgical experience. This certainly has nothing to do with tactile sensation.
As for boldly embolizing the abnormal branch at once, itâs a courage derived more from accumulated surgical experience. By tactile feeling alone, he wouldnât dare casually eliminate a cerebral vessel.
Though brain vessels are quite abundant, having high odds to find compensatory branches to continue supplying blood to brain tissues, they are ultimately a part of the patientâs body. Determining whether this part is pathological or a normal physiological change requires careful differentiation by a doctor. It is impossible to casually dispose of any part of a patientâs body.
"Surgical experience is most important, playing a crucial role," Zhai Yunsheng echoed his nephewâs words, agreeing, "One shouldnât be overly confident in their abilities. What can teach a doctor isnât the doctorâs own skills. Cases are the best teachers for doctors, and this point will never be wrong."
"Letâs eat, eat," Cao Yong invited everyone to start eating.
Stop staring at his hands so intently. His hands almost want to find a hole to hide in.
Noticing his nephewâs tense nerves, Zhai Yunsheng smiled and this time turned his care to Student Xieâs family: "I heard your family plans to visit during Spring Festival, is that true?"
Suddenly hearing Boss know about her motherâs upcoming visit, Xie Wanying was shocked.
"I heard it from someone," Zhai Yunsheng casually mentioned the source of the information and asked her, "Where does your family plan to stay when they come to the Capital?"
Xie Wanying replied truthfully, "I initially planned to arrange for my mom to stay at our universityâs guest house."
