Chapter 151: [151] Classmate, don’t act as if the teacher is blind.

The high school girl looked at him. Although Zhao Zhaowei was a bit chubby, the white lab coat significantly added to his impressive image. Now, this little sister gazed at Zhao Zhaowei in his white lab coat as if she were looking at a handsome guy, her cheeks blushing slightly.

The female nurse helped to open the patient’s clothes, revealing the chest area needed for the examination.

Zhao Zhaowei tried his best not to look at the patient’s chest. However, when it was time to place the chest electrodes, he knew he needed to find the 4th intercostal space in his mind, but he had to touch it; otherwise, how could he know where the sternum was, where the ribs were, and which one was the 4th rib?

How to determine the positioning without touching? Beads of sweat began to trickle down Zhao Zhaowei’s forehead.

After having this first-hand experience, he didn’t think that Xie Wanying’s speedy electrocardiogram (ECG) on the patient was easy at all.

“Doctor Zhao,” the nurse standing across the bed reminded him of the time.

...

The patient had been waiting for a while now, and he still couldn’t place the first suction cup. The patient was beginning to wonder what was going on. Moreover, the patient’s parents were waiting outside the curtain for their daughter’s results.

With the pressure mounting, Zhao Zhaowei felt his heartbeat was probably faster than the patient’s by now.

“Can you do it?” Doctor Lin spoke up.

Zhao Zhaowei bit the bullet, “Yes.” Then, biting his teeth, he decided to just go for it; if he couldn’t locate it precisely, he’d have to do it by sight. Luckily, the girl was rather slim, and he could vaguely see the indications of her ribs.

He placed the suction cups and turned on the ECG machine.

Beep beep beep, strangely, the ECG machine seemed more anxious than him, spitting out paper immediately as it turned on.

Zhao Zhaowei was confused.

Was the machine broken?

Looking at it again, it wasn’t just spitting out paper, the graph on the paper was a straight line, not at all resembling an ECG.

He was flustered now, truly flustered: What was going on? What had he done wrong?

That’s right, he clearly remembered exactly where to place the electrodes. Even if there was a deviation from the precise locations, the resulting graph shouldn’t be a straight line.

As the length of the ECG paper reached the ground, Xie Wanying, who stood behind Zhao Zhaowei, acted swiftly and turned the machine off for him.

“Yingying, do you know what’s happening?” Not daring to meet Doctor Lin’s eyes, Zhao Zhaowei turned his head and asked her in a low voice.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Xie Wanying told him, “Redo the disinfection under the electrodes, there might be poor contact. Then turn on the machine, press the F2 key; that’s the reset key. After pressing the reset key, it should function normally again.”

“Thank you, Yingying,” Zhao Zhaowei said, turning back and immediately following her instructions.

It turned out that the issue was caused by improper disinfection. Zhao Zhaowei let out a sigh of relief. This time, he carefully used the alcohol swab to re-disinfect the patient’s skin.

The high school girl’s body tensed up like a board.

Finally, the ECG machine worked normally and printed the proper graph. Zhao Zhaowei wiped the sweat from his forehead. The nurse saw this and immediately removed the electrodes, pulled the girl’s clothes and blanket back in place to keep her from catching cold.

“Teacher, please have a look.” Zhao Zhaowei handed the completed ECG graph to Doctor Lin. At this moment, his tone was full of nervousness; the confidence he had at the start had been shattered by the recent mishap.

Doctor Lin looked at him and said, “You cheated.”

Saying one can do it in front of the teacher, then turning around to ask a classmate for help, as if the teacher is blind, right?

The nurse standing by almost laughed out loud when she heard this.
