Chapter 306: [(306)] The revelations of the past are startling. Chapter 306: [(306)] The revelations of the past are startling. Her mind instantly recognized the chin of the corpse: it was Xiao Zhang’s mother. The first patient she encountered and saved after coming to this hospital ultimately showed her a body.

What a devastating psychological blow. Several teachers were very clear about this, deliberately showing it to her.

Actually, she should have expected this outcome much earlier. Back then, she hadn’t encountered Xiao Zhang’s mother in the ward when she returned to the Department of Neurosurgery.

Senior Brother Huang had said after the surgery that the patient should be stabilized in ICU for two days before transferring to the ward. However, the fact that Xiao Zhang’s mother never returned to the ward was telling enough that there was no improvement post-surgery.

The issue was a cerebellar tumor, located in a most difficult position. Stopping the bleeding seemed to temporarily save the patient’s life, but bleeding in the pons itself has an extremely high mortality rate, and coupled with the tumor, it meant the complexity of her condition increased by more than a level. Whether such a patient could recover after surgery felt like leaving it up to fate.

Senior Brother Huang wrote in his QQ nickname “Pons, pons, what shall I do with you,” showcasing the peril associated with the pons. One could only say that it was not easy for Senior Cao to carry out the surgery.

Senior Cao probably anticipated the consequences early on, so when Director Lv was in a hurry calling for preparations for surgery, Senior Cao remained as stable as Mount Tai by comparison.

One might say, the “Dimensional Strike” that Senior Cao delivered to her psyche was even more terrifying than letting her know who had died.

Accurate diagnosis, accurate emergency care, may not necessarily save the patient.

Little Junior Sister, it’s enough. There’s no need to keep insisting.

This phrase from Senior Cao echoed in her mind once again, taking on a much deeper meaning. He wasn’t just showing concern, he had been teaching her all along.

Compared to her, the teachers had more clinical experience, more advanced scholarly research, and they knew that the life she had worked so hard to save might be gone in a few days.

Even so, do you still exert all your efforts to save it?

And after you’ve saved it, do you let the patient linger at Death’s Door, potentially suffering through the last torment of human life before dying?

This is the daily choice every clinical doctor makes.

Around the dinner table, Kang Mingzhu and the others saw her suddenly fall silent and grew even more worried.

“This Tan Kelin–” Doctor Kim let out a heavy sigh.

Medical students must endure such psychological growth processes to become doctors. Therefore, most teachers simply don’t intervene, believing it’s too cruel and thinking it’s better to let these rookies face it when they become doctors themselves.

It must be said that today, the teachers who educated her were “cruel,” insisting on teaching her ahead of time.

“Eat, eat,” He Xiangyu stuffed the chopsticks into the Junior Sister’s hand, “How about a roasted chicken leg? I’ll get one for you.”

“No need. There’s enough food. Lots of dishes,” Xie Wanying used her chopsticks to pick up some vegetables, stuffed them into her mouth, ate a few bites of rice, looked up to see that no one else was eating and urged, “Eat. I’m fine.”

“If you want to cry, my shoulder is here for you,” He Xiangyu patted her own shoulder and said to her Junior Sister.

Xie Wanying chuckled, shook her head, and realized she had to use her ultimate comforting trick for her Senior Sister, “I’m not afraid of what happened today. I’ve been through scarier things.”

“What things?” the others asked her.

“I once watched a loved one take their last breath right before my eyes, even though there should’ve been a way to save them, I didn’t manage to. Isn’t that even scarier?” Xie Wanying said.

A row of surprised eyes stared at her.

So the choice she faced just then wasn’t difficult for her. She had to save them no matter what, even if only for one more minute. Because back then, she just wanted to say one more word to Grandpa, and Grandpa also wanted to say one word to her, but Grandpa couldn’t hear, nor was he able to say it to her.

“Ah!” Doctor Kim exclaimed loudly.

No one could have expected the outcome of this education.
