My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 373: Chapter 366: Only She Can Perform the Surgery

“I’m sorry to inconvenience you,” Shen Fei said somewhat awkwardly, “They told me they couldn’t remove the pins in my leg, and they wouldn’t dare to try.”

“They wouldn’t dare?” Tang Yuxin asked in surprise. What could be so difficult about it? This wasn’t a major surgery. If anything, placing the pins might have required greater skill. Removing them should be much simpler.

But it soon dawned on her.

This was not the case a decade ago. Ten years later, this would indeed be no challenge and any hospital would be capable of removing these pins. But for now, the way these pins were inserted, similar to how a stapler works, most doctors would be hesitant. Additionally, the sheer number of pins placed was unusual. These pins were arranged in rows on the bone, and indeed, no one dared to remove them.

Moreover, she swallowed hard, if all they needed was to remove the pins, why was there so much secrecy?

It made her wrongly think that…

She patted herself on the shoulder and got off her bed to look for her shoes, only to find them missing after a lengthy search.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Ning walked over, picked up her shoes from the windowsill, and handed them to her.

“Thank you…” Tang Yuxin said as she slipped on her shoes. She noticed that they were dry despite having accidentally spilled water on them earlier.

When she looked up, Gu Ning was watching her. His dark eyes held a curious glow, reflecting hues of color against the window like the first light of dawn. Despite the darkness, it inspired hope.

Tang Yuxin averted her eyes, stood up, tidied her hair, and finally walked over to Shen Fei. She squatted beside him and touched his leg, setting aside all other concerns for the moment.

“Have an X-ray taken later, and I’ll take a look.”

“Alright, thank you,” responded Shen Fei, with a grin on his face. It was almost as if he wasn’t the one about to undergo surgery, and he certainly didn’t look like someone who would be in pain. What he was thinking about was the prospect of being able to walk again, something he had been yearning for over the past few months.

The X-rays were taken obediently by Shen Fei, though they had been done countless times before. These X-rays seemed puzzling to other doctors, but they made perfect sense to Tang Yuxin.

“Hmm, the bone has healed well,” Tang Yuxin said lightly, tapping Shen Fei’s leg. This action startled those nearby, making them turn pale. Surely she shouldn’t be hitting it, what if it breaks?

“This is a leg, not tofu. Occasional tapping won’t harm it.”

Tang Yuxin gave it a few more taps, “Besides, it’s all healed now. There’s nothing to worry about.”

While others still looked pale, she reminded them, “It’s just a few small steel pins.”

“So, when is the surgery?” a young nurse asked Tang Yuxin quietly. She’d never seen a doctor with so much audacity.

“If all parameters are good, we can do it right away. It’s just removing some pins, no big deal.”

The young nurse gulped. Tang Yu didn’t seem to grasp the magnitude of the task. The orthopaedic experts at their hospital had already deemed the pin removal tedious.

Upon further examination, all parameters were indeed excellent. Shen Fei had not abandoned his physical training in spite of his immobilized leg. Although he couldn’t walk, he was practicing other exercises, resulting in quick recovery. But his progress was hindered by his leg.

In the operation room, Tang Yuxin was already dressed in surgical scrubs. Meanwhile, Gu Ning, a few men in military uniforms, and the dean of this hospital were present outside.

“This here is one of the doctors assigned by our head office. She’s excellent,” said the dean in high spirits, “You have no idea how many people are chasing after her. If we weren’t quick, someone else would have snatched her. I had Gu Ning bring her here today, so you could witness her skills and get to know her. After all, we only want the best at our hospital.”

The hospital administrators nodded in approval, seemingly placing high hopes in their young doctor.

By this time, the operation had already begun.

“Oh, so that’s how you remove them…”

The dean seemed as if he wanted to press his face against the glass. He had assumed that removing the pins would entail cutting open all the flesh and tissues, which sounded daunting due to the number of pins. To his surprise, this was not the case. The pins were inserted in a systematic pattern: a small incision, a mere touch, a hook, and they came right out. One pin connected to another, all came off like this.

The sight left the dean wide-eyed.

No wonder; this methodology didn’t exist yet. It would be prevalent ten years later, but Tang Yuxin didn’t invent it. She merely learnt it during her time at another hospital under the tutelage of an experienced orthopaedic surgeon. At present, the technique was well-established overseas, and in their country, only a few, including Tang Yuxin, could perform it. It was her luck that the respected surgeon took a liking to her, allowing her to assist in a few surgeries and master this technique.

Inserting the pins may have been laborious, but removing them was surprisingly simple with minimal damage. If each pin had to be removed separately, it would result in serious tissue trauma – a grueling experience for any patient.

On top of that, the resulting scar wouldn’t be small either.

“That’s done,” announced Tang Yuxin, standing up and examining Shen Fei’s incision. “You can rest easy; my suturing skills are excellent. I promise he won’t look too bad – he’ll still be able to wear shorts.”

Her playfully cheeky comment not only induced laughter from those inside the room but also amused several people in the observation room.

“I’d love to have her at our hospital right away. It’s too solemn here. Everyone’s always so serious. Nobody ever smiles, and everyone wears a grim expression,” the dean sighed. People need to smile more, he thought, but of course, smiling foolishly at others wasn’t a solution either. That’s silly, not jovial.

Also, they needed fresh blood, without which the future of the main hospital looked bleak.

“She’s still in her second year of college,” Gu Ning reminded the dean. She wouldn’t graduate for another two years. If she decided to pursue postgraduate studies, it would add another three years, and if she opted for a Ph.D., an additional four years.

The dean quickly found a chair to steady himself, “That doesn’t matter, we don’t prioritize academic qualifications. Practical skills are most important.”

The other hospital administrators could not agree more. Having a talented doctor would mean being able to treat cases like Shen Fei’s now and in the future, thereby conserving social talent.

Tang Yuxin’s vehicle arrived at the entrance of her university.
