Chapter 381: [381] Practice and Compete Next Chapter 381: [381] Practice and Compete Next No matter what, this was an opportunity that other interns did not have. Xie Wanying and the other two were eager to try.

Unlocking the door, they entered the practice room and, perhaps because it was Saturday, found it empty. Sun Yubo took this excellent chance to personally demonstrate how to practice.

Xie Wanying and her peers took out their notebooks and hurriedly jotted down the key points of the teacher’s instruction.

“This is a laparoscope. Student Xiao Xie has experienced it once during a surgery,” said Sun Yubo. “The most important thing is how to control the light source, and also, how to be faster than the Chief Surgeon in securing the anatomical position during surgery. You should practice individually at first. Once you’re getting the hang of it, you can pair up and try the feeling on the operating table since generally three doctors operate a laparoscopic station.”

After hearing Teacher Sun’s lesson, the three intern trainees nodded fiercely.

With three simulators available and no one else around, they seized the moment and started practicing.

Sun Yubo watched their lightning-fast motions with a slight surprise in his eyes: as soon as the teacher gave the signal, they dashed ahead like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, probably future sprint champions.

Medicine requires long-term perseverance in studies, but during the student phase, if one does not seize every opportunity to learn more, there will be no time once they become clinicians. The students who understand this naturally comprehend its importance.

Seeing the three of them practicing with great enthusiasm, Sun Yubo set them a challenge: “I’m going to get you a dish of beans. Grab the forceps and see how many you can transfer to another dish in one minute. Also, although the nurses usually adjust the light source for us, you need to know how to do it too. These are the simplest tasks.”

Before long, Teacher Sun actually brought over three dishes of beans for them, set them down, and pulled out a stopwatch to time them.

Xie Wanying and the others stared intently at the simulator’s monitor screens, their palms slightly sweaty as they gripped their instruments.

“Begin!”

At the teacher’s command, their hands sprang into action.

Falling in behind them to inspect their work, Sun Yubo glanced around: it seemed as if they all had practiced at home?

Thump, thump–the sounds of beans being transferred from one dish to another rang out crisply, and for those doing well, the rhythm was steady like playing piano keys in succession.

“Not bad. Which group of interns are these, about to graduate in their last year?”

“Are they taking their exit exams?”

The doorway became crowded as several people squeezed in to take a look. It must have been doctors passing by who stopped to watch the commotion.

“Is there a female medical student?”

“She’s grabbing them quite quickly.”

“Faster than the other two guys?”

Yue Wentong and Lin Hao’s eyes simultaneously swept towards Xie Wanying’s direction.

“You two, getting distracted? Going to lose to her?” Sun Yubo reminded the two.

Indeed, they needed to focus on doing their own work properly. Look at how clever Student Xie is, never caring about how others are doing, just concentrating on her own performance. With such focus, of course the rewards are first-rate. Sun Yubo pressed the stopwatch’s stop button.

The curious seniors at the door became more proactive and rushed in to help count the scores for the three students.

“This one,” Lin Hao was tapped on the shoulder and had his score announced, “grabbed 3 beans in a minute.”

“I heard that the standard for laparoscopic exams next year is 6 beans in a minute?”

“Considering it’s his first attempt and he managed to grab 3, he’s already shown great aptitude.”

“Not bad, junior, a rising star.”

Although praised by the seniors, Lin Hao kept his expression stern, aware that he had two even more formidable classmates.
