Chapter 979: Deep Love, Stern Responsibility
Bai Xiao wiped the sweat off her brow and walked out of the operating room with everyone else. A nurse had already helped her remove the surgical gown—they needed to shower and change their clothes before leaving.
The patient had been transferred to the intensive care unit.
The head nurse, who had served as the operating room nurse this time, helped Bai Xiao by laying out disposable items while saying, "Dr. Bai, you’re amazing! Was that your first surgery? You didn’t seem like a rookie at all; honestly, you looked more like one of those seasoned masters in brain surgery."
The critical surgery just completed, under the lead of this intern doctor, had successfully turned a dangerous situation into a safe outcome, and the hearts of everyone present seemed to grow closer in that instant.
The sense of estrangement often felt by new interns trying to integrate also vanished immediately. Unconsciously, everyone began to regard Bai Xiao as one of their own.
"You’re exaggerating! It’s just that I’ve observed many neurosurgical craniotomy procedures during my internship in surgery. Over time, I’ve gained some experience, which allowed me to take a risky chance this time. Honestly, I was lucky—although this was my first time, the operation ended without major incident.
Of course, it’s thanks to everyone’s collaboration. If I had relied solely on myself, I’d be exhausted to death, and the surgery still wouldn’t have been possible!"
Bai Xiao stood under the showerhead, letting the water wash over her. She closed her eyes, and the vivid details of the surgery seemed to replay in her mind.
The surgical knife grazing the blood vessel wall in a near-miss—no one else would ever understand that thrill.
This time, she hadn’t even relied on casting her special ability to treat the patient; instead, she had relied solely on her medical prowess.
