Khloe’s arrogance stirred the crowd into a frenzy, with many beginning to openly criticize her.

“That was way out of line. Selena has a spotless reputation in the field. What’s Khloe’s claim to fame? Is she really trying to criticize Selena’s surgery because she’s good at charming men and has a powerful fiancé?”

“She’s completely out of her depth. If she goes up there and starts blabbering nonsense, it’d be amazing to see her get kicked off.”

“Khloe honestly thinks she’s important just because of her connections. But Selena, a brilliant mind from Ouiswell, isn’t going to stand for this shameless behavior.”

Almost everyone in the room doubted Khloe had anything of value to contribute. They assumed she was merely bluffing, eager to watch her make a fool of herself.

Despite the disapproval and murmurs, Khloe remained calm and composed. She made her way confidently to the front of the venue, headed straight for the computer that controlled the screen, and grabbed the mouse. With a precise click, she paused the video at a frame that highlighted a surgical incision. With a raise of her hand, she signaled for silence. When the hall fell quiet, Khloe began to explain, “During the incision stage of the surgery, Selena’s choice of incision location was conventional, but not the most ideal. Given the patient’s unique anatomy and recovery needs, the incision should’ve been moved three millimeters to the left. This small adjustment could have greatly minimized the risk of nerve damage and reduced postoperative pain.”

As she calmly laid out her reasoning, the crowd remained eerily silent. Could Khloe truly find flaws and offer real solutions?

“Wait a minute. This actually makes sense!”

“As a cardiac surgeon myself, I have to admit that Khloe’s point is interesting, although it’s a small issue that doesn’t seem to have much of an impact. Honestly, I think…”

“Khloe is just lucky. Does she really think she can challenge Selena by highlighting such a trivial issue? It’s honestly embarrassing.”

On stage, Selena was momentarily caught off guard by Khloe’s critique. The surgery had been incredibly complex, and after looking into Khloe’s background, she knew Khloe had built her reputation in the pharmaceutical industry, not in surgery. Yet, here was Khloe, pointing out something so specific.

Despite the surprise, Selena quickly regained her composure and responded in a sharp, sarcastic tone, “Is that all you’ve got, Khloe? Pointing out such a minor flaw doesn’t exactly prove you didn’t steal someone else’s work.”

Upon hearing Selena’s doubtful remark, Khloe remained as composed as ever. She took a seat and resumed playing the video.

After a moment, she paused the video once more and pointed to the screen. “Look here, during the suturing of the heart valve. There’s a gap that doesn’t align properly with the blood vessel. This is the reason one of your patients, as mentioned in your thesis, developed heart failure post-surgery. Had you used a more traditional approach, this complication could have been avoided.” As she continued her explanation, Khloe zoomed in on the video frame, using the mouse to highlight the exact spot.

The cardiac surgery experts in the crowd were suddenly stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief.

The details Khloe had pointed out were critical, and upon closer inspection, they were undeniable.

What made the situation even more astonishing was that the frame had only been shown for a fraction of a second, yet Khloe had pinpointed such a crucial issue. Her ability to notice such subtle details was impressive. She truly understood cardiac surgery.

But Khloe wasn’t done yet. She resumed playing the video, paused it again, and went on to explain even more.

“There’s also an issue with the distal anastomosis of the heart valve. The technique you used creates excessive tension after the coronary artery graft, which affects the blood flow. It may not have been obvious in the moment, but this could have led to ischemic crises in the patient during recovery.” She took a brief pause before continuing, “And right here, the valve was positioned a bit too high during the replacement. If it had been positioned just an inch lower, the procedure would have gone more smoothly. I suspect this may have led to renal failure during surgery.”
