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.
