Yesterday, when I saw her changing dressings, I noticed she was quite smart, the kind of student who seemed to get it after just one look. Sun Yubo glanced at her, then turned and noticed that Tan Kelin had somehow come over and was also observing her wash her hands.
Hand washing was something Xie Wanying had practiced until it was second nature. The most difficult part, the space between the fingers, had to be scrubbed meticulously; she had to scrub up to 10 centimeters above the elbow, and each step had to be precise. After soap and water, she'd scrub with iodophor. Thinking about it, this kind of scrubbing was actually very damaging to the skin. One can imagine the toll on a female surgical doctor's hands if she frequently scrubbed up for surgery. But for the sake of the patients, it had to be done cleanly.
Watching her scrub without the slightest concern for her own skin, the light in Tan Kelin's eyes surveyed her delicate features before he turned and walked away.
