Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 808 - Chapter 808 808 Entrusted with a heavy responsibility

Chapter 808: [808] Entrusted with a heavy responsibility Chapter 808: [808] Entrusted with a heavy responsibility President Wu spoke these words while Yin Fengchun’s breathing was heavy, breath by breath. It was clear that the fear he had felt earlier had been perfectly articulated by President Wu. It goes to show that for most doctors, the more they understand, the more fearful they become.

“I’m here, so you don’t need to worry about that anymore. I’ll use my hands to first stem the bleeding and give you time to clamp the artery,” President Wu said, taking on the most critical surgical task himself.

With President Wu, an expert at the task, Cao Yong and Tao Zhijie didn’t need to scramble to do it.

President Wu started assigning tasks to others: “You, Dr. Cao, take the retractor on the opposite side. Dr. Tao, you take the one on my side. The task of holding the retractors is crucial. Without extending the incision, we can only rely on your technical prowess to create the largest surgical field possible. Think carefully about how to do it.”

The retractors passed by the nurse fell into the gloved palms of the two men.

The two senior brothers had been assigned by “Teacher Wu” to handle the retractors, and Xie Wanying listened and pondered: Could it be that this “Teacher Wu” had once been their actual teacher? That must be the case. Because both senior brothers are technically proficient, it’s quite unusual for them to obediently follow someone’s lead in the operating room. It can only be said that “Teacher Wu” is indeed a master among masters. No wonder when “Teacher Wu” relayed her internship feedback to the hospital leadership, they listened.

“Dr. Xie,” President Wu turned to her.

“I’m here,” Xie Wanying responded immediately.

“The question you asked me earlier, I’ll answer you now; I have performed many similar surgeries. With that, can you trust me now?” President Wu reintroduced his expertise to her, a person unknowing of his capabilities, hoping to secure the active assistance of all the staff present.

“I trust you, Teacher Wu,” Xie Wanying replied.

“Great, how about you take out this paring knife?” President Wu’s eyes twinkled at her, seemingly amused.

Others were surprised by President Wu’s sudden arrangement.

Why, were Cao Yong and Tao Zhijie not as suited as she was to remove the knife? Both of them, with just their experience in the operating room, could easily outperform her, a novice. And if natural talent were the question, the graduated resident Doctor Song Xueling should outclass her, an intern of less than half a year, by far.

Removing the knife was as difficult as stemming the bleeding or clamping the vessels, or even more challenging upon reflection. A poor removal could cause destructive secondary damage to the patient in the moment the knife was withdrawn. Then, there would be no need to talk about stemming the flow or clamping the vessels, as the patient might be killed in the act of removing the knife.

It was precisely for this reason that Tao Zhijie initially asked Song Xueling to remove the knife instead of himself or Cao Yong. Without relevant surgical experience, only the innate talent of certain doctors would suffice.

However, Song Xueling himself had refused; he did not have enough confidence in this task.

It was too difficult. The action of removing the knife wasn’t like the minor adjustment he had made at the beginning; it wasn’t a subtle movement on a flat plane. The removal involved the body’s multi-layered tissue structures, a manipulation of utmost extent.

The difficulty was immense, testing not only one’s technique but also the courage of a young doctor.

In that moment, Xie Wanying understood the look from “Teacher Wu.” Only she and Doctor Song were suitable for the removal. Doctor Song lacked confidence, but what about her?

“I’ll do it,” Xie Wanying replied in an instant, without a second thought, her voice as resolute as steel.

What everyone heard was a determination; no difficulty could bring down the one standing at the operating table.
