"Teacher, the medical team for support finally arrived, trailing behind two bulldozers, and they brought a lot of medicines, medical instruments, and surgical equipment."

Two hours after Tian Xiangyu started the surgery, Lin Jie received a call from Yan Beichen and heard some good news.

"However, the patient with the brain injury has already stopped breathing."

"Another seriously injured patient couldn't hold on either. Senior Brother Guo and Senior Brother Zeng both had surgeries and couldn't be in two places at once."

Yan Beichen said in a low voice, "All we could do was give them oxygen, fluids, and blood transfusions, and encourage them with words."

"The few doctors at the township hospital don't dare to treat them. Teacher, I... I'm also afraid, all I can do is watch them slowly succumb to death..."

Yan Beichen finished her undergraduate, master's, and doctoral studies consecutively, and after eight years of smooth academic progress, she could directly obtain a doctorate degree.

This seemed like taking a shortcut, but she severely lacked undergraduate and master's stage medical internships and practical opportunities, which made her hands-on skills quite weak.

Although she had already interned at the Affiliated Hospital before the Spring Festival for a period, this kind of ability cannot be significantly improved in a short time.

Lin Jie comforted, "The few doctors at the township hospital, and also you, are not afraid, but powerless. You all know that if you rush into treatment, the situation may worsen."

"Yan Beichen, you and they have already done your best, no need to blame yourself."

"On the contrary, you should feel proud."

"Zeng Yang and Guo Peng each treated a seriously injured patient, and you also treated and bandaged several lightly injured patients. You all did well, very well indeed, truly something to be proud of."

"But, but, we didn't save everyone. Someone died right in front of us, just like that."

"Teacher, if I could be as skilled as Senior Brother Zeng and Senior Brother Guo, maybe, I could save someone by myself..."

Yan Beichen, with a sob in her voice, said, "I discovered that this isn't like a medical exam at all, where scoring 80 or 90 makes me happy, and missing only one or two questions gets me excited."

"But in real life-saving, even if only one or two people die, I feel as bad as failing a test."

"Teacher, I feel awful inside, this helpless feeling..."

Listening to the choking sobs coming through the phone, Lin Jie sighed quietly.

The failure to save a patient resulting in their unfortunate death is a hurdle every doctor will inevitably face.

He didn't expect Yan Beichen to encounter it so early under such circumstances.

"Yan Beichen, the death of the injured is not your fault, even I would feel powerless at times..."

At this moment, a soft cry came from the phone: "Senior Brother... I feel terrible... sob sob..."

The phone line was filled with noise...

Then Zeng Yang's voice came through, "Teacher, all the injured in the hospital have been taken over by the support medical team."

"I performed one surgery, and Senior Brother Guo performed one as well, both went relatively smoothly."

"Senior Brother Tian's surgery is not yet complete."

"I just went over to take a look, and Senior Brother Tian already has two doctors from the medical team assisting him..."

After he briefly explained the situation of a few people, Lin Jie responded with a hum, "This time, you guys did well."

"Especially you and Guo Peng, being able to each successfully complete a major surgery in such an emergency, saving a life, I am proud of you."

"That's because of your excellent teaching, Teacher, and of course, thanks to Professor Chen's guidance during the surgeries!"

Zeng Yang spoke slowly, "Teacher, I was also extremely nervous, at first my hand holding the scalpel was trembling a bit."

"But as soon as the scalpel cut through the patient's skin..."

He spoke with a bit of excitement, "I naturally thought of your usual teachings, how to wield the scalpel, how to avoid most of the blood vessels, how to examine visceral injuries, how to stop the bleeding, how to suture the vessels..."

"All I needed to do was follow your guidance step by step."

"With this approach, surgery wasn't as difficult and complex as I thought..."

Lin Jie chuckled, "Alright, no need to flatter me."

"This time, you independently completed a surgery and saved someone, that's your own capability."

"Having experienced this, I suppose you guys aren't in the mood to continue playing around. Wait for the snow to stop, and once the roads are clear, head back to Binhai."

After advising a bit more, Lin Jie hung up the phone.

Relying on An Kexin beside him, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Jie's neck, saying, "Guo Peng is still an intern doctor, and Zeng Yang hasn't officially graduated with his doctorate, yet they can now perform major surgeries to open patients' abdomens, inspect visceral injuries, and complete hemostatic and suture surgeries."

She spoke with pride, "They've proven with concrete facts that not only are you, A-Jie, very skilled, but students you taught are also very skilled."

"Many surgeons who've worked in hospitals for three or five years can't independently complete such surgeries."

Lin Jie shook his head and softly said, "It's an emergency situation, it doesn't count."

An Kexin smiled and said, "The more urgent the situation, the more a person's strength is revealed."

"If these two can handle things well in such a situation, they would perform even better in a hospital setting."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Some people are big-game players; they perform better at critical and special moments."

"Like the situation Zeng Yang and the others faced, at the time, their minds were solely on saving lives. In such a situation where they can't afford distractions and have no support, there's a chance for extraordinary performance."

"In a hospital environment, however, they might perform poorly due to various concerns."

Saying this, Lin Jie smiled and continued, "Anyway, after this experience, Zeng Yang and Guo Peng's self-confidence will surely increase, which is good for them."

"As for Yan Beichen..."

Lin Jie said with some concern, "She might be stimulated to work harder upon returning, or she might develop a retreating and fearful attitude."

"She'll need one or two psychological counseling sessions arranged for her..."

An Kexin pondered and said, "They have proven their capabilities through this unexpected incident."

"Ah Jie, Anlin Hospital will treat your students specially, providing them with enough resources to help them grow quickly."

Lin Jie boasted, "My occasional guidance to them is already the greatest special treatment..."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Jie received another phone call from Tian Xiangyu.

He learned that his cranial surgery was successful, the patient survived, and post-operative checks showed everything was fine with no adverse sequelae.

Meanwhile, the local leaders who came to offer condolences used Tian Xiangyu's phone to express their gratitude to Lin Jie.

They sincerely thanked Lin Jie for teaching such skilled and morally upright students and praised their professional spirit of not avoiding difficulties and stepping forward.

Soon after, Lin Jie received calls from both Chen Shi and Lei Jun.

They had remotely watched parts of Zeng Yang and Guo Peng's surgical operations through video calls.

Chen Shi stated that although Zeng Yang's surgical skills were overall immature, he had quite some of Lin Jie's charm, handling details quite well, completing surgeries step by step, appearing plain but with a sense of smooth progression.

He remarked that in five to six years, with sufficient training, Zeng Yang's surgical abilities would not be weaker than those at the director level of the Affiliated Hospital.

Lei Jun praised Guo Peng, saying that although his technique was a bit rough, he was very confident in handling critical points, his method quick and decisive, with the demeanor of a great leader.

He joked that with Lin Jie being a towering figure before them, a bunch of students are rapidly chasing behind.

This was putting great pressure on their generation; if they slowed down even slightly, they'd be left behind.

Hearing these praises, Lin Jie felt naturally complacent.

This was more gratifying than direct praise.

Lin Jie had indeed put a lot of effort into this group of students, and now that they were achieving success, he felt a sense of pride and satisfaction akin to that of a parent.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

An Kexin got up to open the door, only to find that the visitor was Yuan Xianjun.

Yuan Xianjun lifted the two gift boxes in his hand and said somewhat awkwardly, "President An, I'm here to thank Expert Lin."

An Kexin smiled broadly and said, "Please come in, Engineer Yuan, Ah Jie is at home..."

After sitting in the living room, Yuan Xianjun took the hot tea An Kexin handed over, warming his hands, and said, "Expert Lin, after two or three days of treatment, my mother's condition has greatly improved and she no longer sees illusions."

"That's good news," Lin Jie casually replied.

Yuan Xianjun put down his teacup, stood up and bowed, saying, "Expert Lin, I need to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have questioned your intentions or doubted your judgment."

"I was judging a noble man with pettiness."

Lin Jie laughed heartily and said, "How do you know I didn't have other intentions? An Kexin is my girlfriend, and I could say I'm already family with the An Family."

Yuan Xianjun smiled awkwardly and said, "Expert Lin, regardless of whether you have other intentions, I have already made a decision."

He looked at An Kexin and seriously said, "President An, I have decided to resign from Tiande Medical Technology Research Institute and join Weize Company."

This unexpected joy was indeed somewhat surprising, and An Kexin couldn't help but ask, "Oh, why is that?"

Yuan Xianjun had evidently prepared an explanation, and he began, "I already know it was the research institute that breached the contract and refused to cooperate with you, choosing instead to partner with your competitors."

"Although this is a commercial tactic in pursuit of higher profits, which is understandable, the core of the cooperation, the Life Healing Box, was Expert Lin's idea."

"In a way, cooperating with Weize Company is equivalent to cooperating with Expert Lin."

"The institute's breach of contract is unethical, something I cannot agree with."

Yuan Xianjun looked at Lin Jie with gratitude and said, "Expert Lin, this time you selflessly informed me of my mother's condition, which deeply moved my family and me."

"My family and I firmly believe that following you all won't get us into trouble."
