- Chapter 179: She is bold
Watching her friend being genuinely afraid of needles, Xie Wanying rolled up her sleeves. She had some experience drawing blood from people in the past, both before and after her rebirth. This was her first time drawing blood after her rebirth, so she proceeded with caution.
She put on gloves, tied a tourniquet around her friend’s forearm, and felt for the vein on the back of her friend’s hand.
Xie Wanying said, “If you’re scared, just close your eyes.”
“Is my vein easy to draw from?” Wu Lixuan asked.
“Yes, it’s very easy,” Xie Wanying replied truthfully. “The vein is elastic and large, not like an elderly person’s that easily breaks, and not as small as an infant’s.”
“Listening to you, I feel more confident now,” Wu Lixuan said as she contemplated.
Taking the blood collection needle that the nurse handed her, Xie Wanying took advantage of her friend’s movement and conversation, quickly inserted the needle into the vein, and drew blood effectively.
“It’s done,” Xie Wanying said.
Wu Lixuan lowered her head and remarked, “Already? I didn’t even scream in pain.”
“It was quite fast. Isn’t that right, Senior Cao?”
“It’s like this, Senior. My childhood friend has a fever, so I brought her to the emergency room,” Xie Wanying explained the situation in detail to her senior. She had indeed followed the medical advice diligently.
“Alright, we’ll come down to the emergency room,” Cao Yong said.
The two seniors were coming to the emergency room to check if she was lying. Xie Wanying could only look up at the ceiling in response.
First, she went to the counter to settle the emergency room fees. When she returned, she saw the nurse preparing to draw blood from her friend. The nurse turned and noticed her, asking, “Would you like to try drawing blood?”
The nurse was really kind. Usually, clinical medical students who didn’t have a good relationship with nurses would find it hard to get guidance and opportunities to practise drawing blood.
For many medical students, this was the practice opportunity they desired. Xie Wanying walked up and first consulted her friend’s opinion.
Wu Lixuan nodded and said, “You can do it for me, Wanying. That way, I won’t be scared.”
Watching her friend being genuinely afraid of needles, Xie Wanying rolled up her sleeves. She had some experience drawing blood from people in the past, both before and after her rebirth. This was her first time drawing blood after her rebirth, so she proceeded with caution.

“It’s done,” Xie Wanying said.
Wu Lixuan lowered her head and remarked, “Already? I didn’t even scream in pain.”
“It was quite fast. Isn’t that right, Senior Cao?”
With the blood collection needle securely in place, Xie Wanying heard a voice behind her and turned her head to find several people standing there. They were all silently watching her administer the injection to her friend.
Senior Sister Jiang Mingzhu waved at her and said with a smile, “Didn’t scare you, did we?”
Scared?
Xie Wanying’s heart was pounding.
Li Qi’an walked up to her in astonishment and asked, “When did you learn to administer injections?”
“In anatomy class, didn’t we give injections to rabbits?” Xie Wanying replied.
“Can it be the same?”
Li Qi’an couldn’t wrap his head around it. Rabbits and humans were different; how could administering injections be the same?
“It’s the same, of course,” Xie Wanying reminded her classmate. “If you don’t believe it, try it.”
Try it?
Li Qi’an secretly checked his own heartbeat. He was sure he didn’t have the nerve she had.
They had only been in the clinical rotation for a few days, and many things were still unfamiliar to them. Watching Xie Wanying skillfully attach the blood collection needle to the vacuum blood collection tube, draw blood, quickly remove the collection tube and attach the IV line, adjust the flow rate, and perform a series of actions just like the nurse left him bewildered.
He now understood how Zhao Zhaowei and the class president had felt when they could only watch her.
Jiang Mingzhu glanced at Li Qi’an and Xie Wanying, then turned to look at Cao Yong and Huang Zhilei with a puzzled expression: “Are they in the same class?”
Huang Zhilei scratched the back of his head. He thought Xie Wanying’s classmates would be equally competent.
“Dr. Xie is exceptional,” the nurse concluded with a smile as she took away the injection equipment. She turned to Xie Wanying and said, “Thank you, Dr. Xie.”
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to practise,” Xie Wanying expressed her gratitude.
Not only was she intelligent and skilled, but she also had the ability to get along well with her colleagues. Jiang Mingzhu realised that this junior was truly unique, no wonder so many people liked her. She walked over and patted the junior on the shoulder. “Come to me if you need anything in the future.”
“Yes, Senior Sister,” Xie Wanying cleverly responded.
Of course, after agreeing with the Senior Sister, Xie Wanying noticed the displeased looks of the two senior brothers.
You have quite the audacity, learning from two neurosurgery senior brothers and then agreeing to do something for a gastroenterology senior sister.
Understanding what the senior brothers were thinking, Xie Wanying obediently kept her mouth shut.
Jiang Mingzhu came over and felt the patient’s forehead, instructing the nurse, “Take her temperature again in half an hour.”
“Yes, Dr. Jiang,” the nurse replied.
“I’ll take it for her later,” Xie Wanying said.
