Chapter 250: [250] To what extent can one manage the first time on the operating table?
The problem was that everyone else had noticed.
Lu Tianchi raised his bowed head.
The instrument nurse and the circulating nurse stretched their necks curiously just the same.
“Can you hold it?”
Teacher Tan asked, and with that tone, it wasn’t so much a question of whether she could hold it, but rather if she couldn’t, she’d probably be told to get out on the spot.
“I can.” Xie Wanying’s voice was calm in her response.

“Good, then pull it open for me a bit.”
Just because you say you can do it, you can?
The teacher doubted her.
She moved the retractor outward,_pull following the chief surgeon’s order to tense it further outwards.
Everyone saw that her movements were easy and unforced.
Dr. Xiao Sun widened his eyes in astonishment: she didn’t have the strength of a typical girl.
Liu Chengran doubted how long she could maintain that position.
As minutes passed by, the retractor was held firmly in place without moving. The occasional fine adjustments were made to accommodate the chief surgeon’s explorations inside the abdominal cavity, giving him more convenience.
To be able to do this on her first time in the operating room?
Tan Kelin’s normally aloof eyes narrowed as he gave her another piercing glance.
Donning gloves, his slender fingers probed into the patient’s body, carefully feeling around the stomach to conduct an exploration.
The entire exploration process was thorough and steady, and everyone waited for a long time.
Xie Wanying’s heart started beating nervously for the patient and their family.
Perhaps sensing her sweat break out, Tan Kelin, who was performing the exploration, gave her a sidelong glance with his single-eyelid eyes, thinking: now she’d turn back into a greenhorn.
Before now, she hardly seemed like a greenhorn at all.
“Lift the stomach up.”
Hearing this command from the chief surgeon, Liu Chengran used the Babcock forceps to lift the stomach.
Tan Kelin examined the condition of the stomach.
“Good, we can cut.”
Everyone waited for the chief surgeon’s word, the dust settled, and there was hope for the patient.
The rest of the surgery proceeded methodically.
After completing the critical part of the procedure, Tan Kelin stepped down from the platform and let the assistants finish up. He shed his surgical gown and gloves, removed his mask, and went outside to wash his hands, which seemed to send him into a deep reflection.
As Liu Chengran and Dr. Xiao Sun, who continued with the operation, glanced up, they noticed that he hadn’t left.
With his hands on his hips, Tan Kelin stood at the entrance of the operating room, brow furrowed, his gaze trained on a certain figure.
Xie Wanying, who remained in her original spot, did not turn around; her mind was entirely on the surgery.
Liu Chengran and Dr. Xiao Sun both noticed a hint of conflicting emotions in Tan Kelin’s eyes.
Conflicted about what? They might have had a vague idea of what was going through Tan Kelin’s mind, yet it felt elusive. Just like until now, Dr. Xiao Sun really couldn’t understand why Tan Kelin would allow the clinically inexperienced Xie Wanying to join their group.
Everyone knew after a bit of investigation that Tan Kelin’s group never took in greenhorns. The rumor that Teacher Tan least preferred mentoring students was true. It was not Tan Kelin’s fault, as the departmental responsibilities he shouldered were hefty, and he had to guide the young doctors in his own department, let alone have the energy to teach clinical students surgical techniques.
“Dr. Tan, Director Lu would like to ask for your assistance when the time comes,” someone approached and whispered in Tan Kelin’s ear.
Everyone in the operating room, except for Xie Wanying, guessed what was happening just from seeing this scene. Dr. Xiao Sun rolled his eyes and muttered, “Here we go again.”
Director Lu? Which department? Xie Wanying was baffled by what she heard, and had Dr. Xiao Sun’s tone not been so peculiar, it wouldn’t have caught her attention at all.
