Chapter 734: Real Scrub Nurse
Xie Yiren walked behind Chief Chen all the way into the in-patient department.
“You didn’t tell me. I didn’t know that Xie Ning’s surname wasn’t Ning. The rascal didn’t even tell me,” Chief Chen nagged as he walked.
Xie Yiren pursed her lips and smiled.
That was Xie Ning’s habit. He was indifferent and never seemed bothered by what happened in the secular world.
Some people, even if they knew each other, would still find out new things over time. However, based on the workings of destiny, they were fated to meet each other. They would drink and brag all night long. After daybreak, the sunlight would s.h.i.+ne over the main road and their paths would diverge once again.
“Little Xie, are you Doctor Zheng’s scrub nurse?” Chief Chen asked.
“Yes.” Xie Yiren nodded.
“When Su Yun told it to me, I thought it was a joke. I didn’t expect it to be true.” Chief Chen was a little absent-minded. In the hospital, an exclusive scrub nurse for a particular doctor…was something unheard of before.
“Zheng Ren performed a lot of surgeries. When the emergency ward was established, no one else could perform surgeries with him so it became like this,” Xie Yiren explained in a low voice.
Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, she had to say something so that it would not appear awkward.
“Doctor Zheng’s surgical skills are very good. It turns out that he carried the entire emergency ward during this operation on his own shoulders.” Chief Chen did not pay attention to Xie Yiren’s emotions and continued to sing praises, “No wonder he can perform all kinds of surgeries. It’s very rare to see such talent in all departments nowadays. Many years ago, there were so few doctors. Therefore, there was no choice but to treat all kinds of diseases and perform all kinds of surgeries then.”
Xie Yiren recalled the scenes in Sea City General Hospital and could not help but feel a little lost.
“Oh right, Little Xie.” Chief Chen suddenly stopped. With a mysterious look on his face, he asked in a low voice, “It’s said that Doctor Zheng has already been nominated for the n.o.bel Prize. Is this true?”
“It’s true. He’s been nominated for the n.o.bel Prize by Dr. Mehar. The project is a new surgical technique for TIPS surgery,” Xie Yiren said.
Chief Chen was stunned for a moment but quickly composed himself.
He did not expect it to be true!
There were reports about the nomination for the n.o.bel Prize in China but for some special reasons, these reports disappeared overnight.
Therefore, Zheng Ren could be considered the first unknown n.o.bel Prize candidate.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not stop Su Yun from showing off. How could he let go of such a shocking ident.i.ty as a n.o.bel Prize candidate?
Although Zheng Ren was not interested in such things, Su Yun was.
Chief Chen knew a little but was not sure. When he heard Xie Yiren’s affirmative answer, a huge wave rose in his heart.
No wonder the surgery was done so well. It turned out that he was not a junior doctor at all, but a giant in the industry who had been nominated for the n.o.bel Prize!
Regardless of country origins, it had been decades since a new surgical technique had been nominated for the n.o.bel Prize.
Ever since the n.o.bel Prize for Lobotomy was canceled, the n.o.bel Prize judges had a bias against new surgical techniques. No matter what kind of new surgical technique it was, how many patients it could cure, or how many lives it could save… They were always very paranoid and would forget about new surgical methods that were eligible for the n.o.bel Prize.
To be able to win the n.o.bel prize at such a young age… Although it was only a nomination, it was enough to prove his status in the medical world.
It was no wonder he was so good.
Was it a new surgical method for TIPS surgery? Chief Chen recalled that when he was still in the clinic, he had just begun to learn about TIPS surgery. Interventional surgery was so difficult that it was beyond his control.
He could only try his luck. This was Chief Chen’s understanding of TIPS surgery.
He did not expect that a surgery that relied on luck would be overcome by Doctor Zheng.
He was very emotional and said, “I didn’t expect it to be true. It’s really amazing.”
“It’s alright. What kind of surgery is he doing now?” Xie Yiren asked.
“It’s mainly a surgery where his limbs are dead, so they have to remove the bolts and amputate his limbs.”
“Oh.”
“Have you ever helped with this sort of surgery before?”
“I’ve learned it. I should be able to coordinate with him,” Xie Yiren said.
Chief Chen did not care about all this. The nurses in the operating theater were all exhausted. The nurses who matched Zheng Ren at the operating table were filtered out one after another. Only Zheng Ren and Su Yun were still fighting at the operating table.
It was considered a good thing to have a fresh face at the operating table.
Moreover, the scrub nurse… Although it still sounded unreliable, everything seemed to make sense when coupled with her ident.i.ty as a candidate for the n.o.bel Prize.
“Little Xie, your most important task is not to help with the surgery, but to allow Doctor Zheng to rest for a while,” Chief Chen said. “He’s been performing surgeries continuously. The longest rest he had should have been his journey from Pengxi Village Hospital to Chengdu Provincial Hospital.”
“He’s been performing surgeries for so many days?”
“Yes, he would occasionally eat a meal and fall asleep when he eats. However, the medical team is on their way and the exact time has yet to be decided. They will definitely arrive in the next two days. Once here, they can replace the frontline personnel to rest for a while,” Chief Chen said.
“Okay,” Xie Yiren replied.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the operating theater. Chief Chen called for the chief nurse of the operating theater and introduced Xie Yiren to her.
The operating theater’s chief nurse had dark circles under her eyes. She looked like a giant panda. She looked like she had aged more than ten years and was filled with endless fatigue.
The chief nurse did not waste her breath. She directly brought Xie Yiren into the operating theater to change her clothes and brought her outside the operating theater.
Through the leaded gla.s.s of the operating theatre’s airtight lead door, Xie Yiren saw the back view that she had been longing for every day.
It was so clear and intimate.
Xie Yiren’s footsteps paused slightly, but the chief nurse of the operating theater did not feel it. She strode toward the operating theater.
With just a glance, Xie Yiren followed the chief nurse’s footsteps and walked in.
“Little w.a.n.g, you don’t have to follow Doctor Zheng’s surgery anymore. Go and rest for a while. When the next doctor who needs a scrub nurse comes down, you can just follow them up for that,” the chief nurse said, arranging the matters at hand.
Everyone had exhausted their energy. When they heard that they could rest, the scrub nurse at the operating theater had a relaxed and regretful expression on her face.
However, when she saw Xie Yiren, she was a little surprised.
She did not recognize this person. Where did she come from?
“Little Xie, wash your hands and change your clothes in a while. Wait for the surgery. I’ll go and do my work first.” After the chief nurse said that, she rushed out with Nurse w.a.n.g.
In the operating theater, a few doctors were either watching the surgery or waiting for the interventional procedure to end so that they could watch the amputation surgery.
After they heard the words of the chief nurse, they were slightly surprised as well.
“Chief, who’s that? Is it a volunteer?” As she walked out of the operating theater, Nurse w.a.n.g asked that question in a low voice.
“No, Chief Chen said that she a scrub nurse exclusive to Doctor Zheng. She just received the news and rushed here overnight. “After the head nurse finished speaking, she even felt that the situation was a little ridiculous.
A personal scrub nurse… Chengdu Provincial Hospital was so big in the whole country… In fact, it could be considered famous in the whole province. Many doctors gathered here.
However, which doctor had his own scrub nurse?
No, in the past few decades, there was not a single one.
Not to mention Chengdu Provincial Hospital, even in Huaxi which of the top three in the country, were there any doctors with their own scrub nurses there?
He had never heard of it either.
Nurse w.a.n.g clicked her tongue and looked a little surprised. However, when she recalled the few surgeries that she had cooperated with Doctor Zheng, Doctor Zheng did not say a word. Throughout the entire process, the a.s.sistant who had made her heart beat faster served as an a.s.sistant and a scrub nurse at the same time…
A scrub nurse that was exclusive to him? Could this doctor be any more arrogant?
