Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 523 - Chapter 523 【523】Stay calm

Chapter 523: [(523)] Stay calm Chapter 523: [(523)] Stay calm She had to control her hand forcefully, using the firmest willpower to command it.

Shzz, a bit closer, not enough, shzz again, smoke rising, is it good now? Not yet, once more.

“Don’t dawdle!” Teacher across scolded her.

You know, one slow move might fail to stop the blood. The First Assistant across was rushing, pressing down with gauze to stem the flow.

Xie Wanying’s brows and eyes tightened, giving her all, one more time. Shzz, finally she cauterized a steady char.

“Like that, hurry up, you’ve wasted so much time already.” Liu Chengran urged, looking up and scanning the clock on the wall that timed the surgery, his brows furrowed tightly.

Teacher Liu was the most patient teacher in the team, the Brother Liu whom Teacher Sun adored the most, yet he also appeared very anxious now. Mainly, the situation at hand was bringing another layer of worry to Liu Chengran’s heart: afraid that letting her be the Chief Surgeon now might be a bit hasty.

A top-tier tertiary hospital never lacked people, giving mentors plenty of leeway. If they think a student is capable, they can let them practice early on. If they think a student isn’t capable, they won’t give them a chance no matter what. Above all, the student themselves need to have strength.

Aside from the fact that it was her first time being Chief Surgeon, the Second Assistant tonight had been gasping for air the whole time. Liu Chengran had been so anxious he wanted to curse, demanding the Second Assistant to clear his head: “Do you want to pass out? You should know that we’re short on help tonight!”

The scolding from the teacher caused Li Qi’an’s face behind the mask to redden and pale in turns, his hands and feet stiff with tension.

The Circulating Nurse came over to wipe the sweat from Li Qi’an’s forehead. Then she turned back to check if Xie Wanying needed to be wiped down as well.

Seeing that not a single drop of sweat was on Xie Wanying’s face, the nurse felt a surprise inside: Didn’t the teacher scold her fiercely? How come she isn’t panicking?

Stay calm, no matter what stay calm!

Xie Wanying told herself internally, her eyes focusing like the Electrosurgical Unit in her hand on the operative field, constantly ready to press the cutting and coagulating buttons to switch functions: Cut, shzz. Cauterize, cauterize again, shzz, shzz, sealing all the bleeding spots.

Gradually, Liu Chengran across stopped talking so much. After she successfully stemmed the bleeding for the first time, her following movements became very smooth and fluid. This student was truly like once she succeeded, she became unstoppable, as if she had unblocked the energy channels within her body, facing no resistance anymore.

Phew, taking a breath, Liu Chengran continued to instruct: “Don’t hesitate, proceed to the next step.”

“Yes, teacher.” Xie Wanying put down the Electrosurgical Unit, ready for the next step of the surgery.

“You, pull!” Liu Chengran roared at the Second Assistant beside him like a lioness from Hedong.

Li Qi’an’s hands holding the two retractors trembled mightily as he applied force.

“Don’t be nervous, just pull a bit harder outwards, I can see now,” Xie Wanying said to her classmate.

Upon hearing her comforting words, Li Qi’an was on the verge of tears, regretting not having improved his strength before. He felt useless, wanting to help his classmate but always falling short, and now he was the one being comforted. Just as Lin Hao said, he was truly useless.

Pull, even if it kills me, I must pull! Repeating this mantra in his head, Li Qi’an exerted all his strength as he had never done before.

Feeling the support of her classmate, she knew she had to work even harder. Xie Wanying clenched her teeth, holding the surgical instruments with gloved hands and adjusting her posture, being as careful as possible not to accidentally touch and damage the internal organs, examining the state of the organs inside the abdominal cavity with a surgical magnifier.

First, she had to check for any constriction or necrosis in the intestines. Necrotic intestines would leak foul-smelling, bloody fluids in the abdominal cavity, and the presence of feces or other contaminants indicated a perforated intestine. Contaminants infecting the abdominal cavity could lead to uncontrolled inflammation affecting the whole body, with the patient succumbing to septic shock and death.
