Chapter 152: Chapter 151 Empyema Simulation Surgery Teaching
Watching Mr. Dai and Qin Wanwan help Gu Yu put on his white coat, gloves and goggles in the washroom, Wu Huan felt very uncomfortable,
He clenched his fists secretly, making the surgical forceps creak in his grip.
"Wu Huan, are you alright?"
A fellow graduate student noticed his gloomy face and asked with concern.
"Oh haha, I'm fine, just a bit nervous because we're about to start the simulated surgery."
Wu Huan forced a smile onto his face and placed the surgical forceps back into the stainless steel storage box.
"Haha, although this is our first time performing a simulated surgery for empyema removal, we've trained a few times before, so we shouldn't be that nervous, right?"
"Is it because you're afraid of making a fool of yourself in front of the gifted physician Mr. Dai has invited? There's nothing to worry about; we're medical students, after all. We should practice and learn more! And we shouldn't underestimate someone just because they're younger than us!"
"Sigh, I really envy these exceptionally talented prodigies!"
The graduate student, with his arm around Wu Huan's shoulder, looked at the younger Gu Yu and sighed.
He originally thought that getting into Haidong's medical program and then securing a position as a research student under Professor Dai already made him a genius.
But it turned out there were others even more exceptional, someone who had already completed their Chief Physician transformation at the undergraduate level!
He had hoped to become a Chief Physician himself, but even after graduating as a research student, he would still have to wait another two years before he could even apply!
Wu Huan felt increasingly annoyed as the guy by his side kept praising Gu Yu.
He removed the arm that was hooked around his neck and sat down on another stool with a cold expression.
"I want to see if he really has the ability of a Chief Physician. I just don't believe someone could obtain a Chief Physician title at the age of twenty-one!"
"Even if Mr. Dai himself says so, I won't believe it without seeing it with my own eyes!"
Wu Huan gritted his teeth as he stared at Gu Yu. He wouldn't believe that his proudest medical knowledge could be so easily surpassed by Gu Yu, an "outsider."
He was, after all, a top student from Haidong's medical program!
The other student noticed Wu Huan's foul mood and wisely shut his mouth.
On the other hand, Gu Yu had finished all his preparations.
Goggles, medical face mask, rubber gloves, and white coat—he was fully geared, looking like the male lead from one of those nonsensical medical TV dramas.
The difference was, those were just TV shows, but he had real talent!
"Let me introduce to you, this is Gu Yu, also a student from Haidong University, currently my special assistant."
"Last time, I mentioned that a gifted twenty-one-year-old Chief Physician would come to lecture you, but he couldn't make it due to other commitments."
"This time, after a lot of persuasion, I managed to invite him here! You must learn well from Mr. Gu!"
"Let's give him a warm welcome, everyone!"
Dai Zhengguo smiled as he introduced Gu Yu to the students gathered around.
The crowd clapped enthusiastically as a show of warm welcome.
Gu Yu bowed slightly to express his politeness.
Undoubtedly, these graduate students had the potential to become the future pillars of Huaxia's medical community,
devoting the rest of their lives to the noble cause of healing and saving lives!
They deserved his respect.
Of course, except for Wu Huan.
This guy never truly viewed himself as an upright physician; last time, he even made the foolish remark that he wouldn't treat a patient even if they begged him.
Just because he was a medical master's student at Haidong, he felt superior to others!
Such a person was unworthy of respect and unfit to join the ranks of the angels in white.
Wu Huan clapped half-heartedly, his eyes brimming with defiance towards Gu Yu.
However, Gu Yu, who had already been sickened by a few others before, had developed a conditioned immunity against such people.
In his eyes, Wu Huan was nothing more than a clown leaping around.
All he had to do was to be on guard in case the other suddenly leapt out to bite.
Once again ignored by Gu Yu, Wu Huan's resentment had accumulated to its peak, but with both classmates and teachers present, he couldn't make a scene.
He could only smolder in silence, feeling an intense discomfort, or as the practice of traditional Chinese medicine would call it, "exuberant fire assaulting the heart."
"Gu Yu... Mr. Gu, I have a question. How did you manage to obtain the title of Chief Physician at the age of twenty-one?"
"Yes, we're all very curious!"
"Could you tell us about your experience?"
At this moment, the graduate students, both male and female, were like curious babies, eager to explore the mysteries of Gu Yu.
But Gu Yu just smiled mysteriously and pointed a finger to the ground, "It's confidential, I'm afraid I can't disclose it."
The few who had asked the question looked at each other in bewilderment.
One quick-witted student sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, "Hiss— are you saying that you're working for 'that' agency?"
Gu Yu's face still wore a mysterious smile as he gave a slight nod to the quick-reacting student.
That student gasped again, "Hiss— I knew it!"
"That? What is 'that'?"
Some of the students still hadn't caught on, looking utterly confused. Was this a guessing game?
"'That' is, you know, where you have to report everything you do, where even writing something down requires a stamp with three stars on it to mark it top secret!"
"Oh~ Wow! That sounds so impressive!"
"Just think about it, only someone from such a place could get a professional title without following the usual procedures!"
"Who'd have thought we'd actually get to meet such a mysterious person in real life!"
After some discussion, if they had previously only respected Gu Yu, they were now in awe of him!
Only Wu Huan muttered disdainfully to the side, "Psh, what a show-off."
Though he said this, he felt a bit panicked inside.
If Gu Yu's identity and background were truly as implied, then Wu Huan really wouldn't dare to provoke him.
Everyone knows that in the presence of such people, money and power are rendered impotent!
They carry the weight of the entire nation on their shoulders!
"Alright, let's not delve too deeply into Gu Yu's identity. Our main task today is to complete this simulated surgery teaching for empyema thoracis!"
Professor Dai raised his hand to stop the murmuring and announced that the educational session had officially begun.
Upon lifting the white cloth covering the operating table, a full thoracic cavity model, almost akin to a real human body, was revealed before everyone.
The lights in the laboratory shut off, leaving only the concentrated light over the operating table on.
Everyone assumed their roles as previously assigned.
Gu Yu stood to the side watching them perform the surgery.
"Alright, everyone take your places; I will now read the detailed information of the patient."
Professor Dai took out a clipboard with pre-set patient information on it.
The group all took deep breaths to steady their emotions, eyes fixed on Professor Dai without blinking.
"Patient Lin San, male, 42 years old, hospital ID 12345678, is admitted for empyema caused by pneumonia, proposed surgery: empyema drainage and debridement, the surgical site has been marked, and the informed consent for surgery has been signed!"
"Note: The patient has a history of pneumonia and a fondness for alcohol."
"The patient has been anesthetized, equipment has been calibrated, and all instruments are ready, please start the surgery!"
After Professor Dai finished reading the patient information and skipped the pre-surgery preparations, he declared the start of the surgical operation.
Qin Wanwan picked up the scalpel; this time she was the main surgeon.
Before she made the first cut, she looked up at Gu Yu, who was standing aside. His gaze was entirely focused on where the incision would be made.
"I'm starting."
Qin Wanwan whispered and then her scalpel broke through the patient model's skin.
